Twenty-six contracts were signed last week at $4 million and above. Condos outsold co-ops, 18 to 3, with 1 condop and 4 townhouses in the mix. Five of the properties had signed contracts at $10 million and above.
For the third time this year, a townhouse earned the top spot: 46 East 65th Street, asking $14 million, reduced from $22.5 million when it went on the market in February 2016. This 20-foot-wide, 6-story house has 10,253 square feet and an elevator, and has been divided into 5 units. Annual real estate taxes are $140,195.
The No. 2 contract was Apartment 6B at 21 East 61st Street, asking $11.5 million, reduced from $14 million when it went on the market in April of 2013. The unit has 3,751 square feet including 4 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, a family room off the kitchen, and a study off the master suite. The apartment is in the Carlton House, a 16-story building that was built as a hotel in 1950, and was converted into a 69-unit condop by Extell Development. (This condop is a co-op that leases the land and has condo rules.) Amenities include concierge, doorman, a fitness center with a swimming pool, and bike and storage facilities. Many of the units have terraces.
