The 36-story residential and retail building at 167 East 61st Street, formerly known as Trump Plaza, was designed by architect Philip Birnbaum and built in the early 1980s. The home rests on the 35th floor and has three bedrooms and an equal number of baths in 1,700 square feet of open-concept living space outfitted with high ceilings and mosaic-style parquet wood floors.
Among the highlights is a bookshelf-clad entrance hallway with art gallery-like walls that leads to a spacious living room boasting floor-to-ceiling windows and access to a wraparound terrace providing sweeping views of the city skyline, Central Park, and beyond. An adjacent dining area connects to a gallery-style equipped with custom blue-hued cabinetry, plus GE Café and Sub-Zero appliances.
Elsewhere are a laundry station and a trio of en-suite bedrooms, most notably a corner primary retreat hosting a walk-in closet, as well as a renovated bath flaunting dual marble sinks and a deep soaking tub.
The new owner also will be privy to plenty of amenities, courtesy of a hefty $6,884 monthly HOA fee, including a landscaped atrium bolstered by a two-story waterfall, a communal lobby, a dedicated staff, a 24-hour doorman, a concierge, a fitness center, a playroom, a private community garden, a garage, and storage space. The building, which allows pets, pied-á-terre ownership, co-purchases, gifting, and subletting, comes with a 2-percent flip tax paid by the buyer.
In addition to their N.Y.C. apartment, the couple recently paid $6.7 million for a trendy modern farmhouse-style property within the upscale Los Angeles neighborhood of Cheviot Hills, just south of Beverly Hills and Century City. The husband-and-wife duo also maintains another L.A.-area residence in the beachside city of Santa Monica, along with homes in New England and Colorado.
