Didn't know the Hasselbecks were selling at Ariel. Haven't seen a listing for their apartment (#16A?)

Matt Damon could be true. Saw him at the playground about a month ago.

so curious! do either of you know what (and when) conan paid for 18 rooms at the majestic??

It was before 2003, so no public record. Their first UCC1 for it was in April 2002.

Saw Matt Damon around 535 WEA several times, with wife.

Although not the UWS, Rush Limbaugh just sold on the UES.

wow someone finally bought that disaster off rush huh. what did it finally go for? (let the fun begin...)

Glamma: The Limbaugh apartment sold for $11.75MM.

Back on the West Side, St. Elsewhere co-stars William Daniels and Bonnie Bartlett just sold their apartment at Schwab House for $1.395MM. According to IMDB, they will celebrate their 60th anniversary next June. I guess they will celebrate it in LA. Best wishes, Mr. Adams. (Though you're obnoxious and disliked - that cannot be denied.)

After a long renovation, Tina Fey's apparently moving into 300 WEA. Curtains now showing.

What is it about celebs and CPW? Give me an amazing view of the Hudson and I'll take that over CP view any day.

Give me any view without celebrities and I'll take that any day.

On river view vs. Central Park, there's the obvious centrality issue (rivers are "far" from the action).

Beyond that, I think there might be a uniqueness aspect. Water views, great as they are, can be had in many geographical locations. Lots of oceans, lakes, rivers, etc. in the world. Even if it must be from a high-rise, lots of places have high-rises on the water. A high-perched view of a huge rectangle of green, surrounded by tall buildings, not so common. It might be my provinciality, but I don't think I've seen that anywhere outside of NYC.

Think about it. You, your stylist, and your two pet chihuahuas have just come from your ocean-front Malibu mansion overlooking the Pacific. Is a view of a river full of barges and tankers with a background of NJ really going to be all that interesting?

inonada, on the other hand, a park view makes sense only when it at least clears treetops while the river is always the river. As to what might be "interesting" to a couple of chihuahuas with a human attachment, who cares.

Nice funny on the chihuhuas.

On the west side, you've got the tree issue as well, plus the highway.

The one perk about CPW is that you actually do get both greenery and water views. I have a CP view and have constantly changing seasonal views -- lush summer greens, colorful Fall leaves, Reservoir in the bareness of winter and beautiful Spring cherry (pink and white) blossoms.

Whereas, if you're on the water, the view is pretty much always the same -- although pretty.

> Whereas, if you're on the water, the view is pretty much always the same -- although pretty.

i see, so only the trees from central park change with the different seasons lol lol

Don't forget penises are 20% larger if you live on cpw. I lost the 4 inches (flaccid) when I moved to bway. My wife is looking to move back.

What seasonal changes come with the water? Ice?

"On river view vs. Central Park, there's the obvious centrality issue (rivers are "far" from the action)."

On the Upper West Side, if you consider Broadway to be where the action is, you are closer to the action if you have River Views.

Assuming "River Views" means Riverside Drive, that is 2 short blocks from Broadway. On the other Hand, Central Park Weest is 3 blocks from Broadway, and 2 of those blocks are very long, between Columbus and CPW, and CPW/Amsterdam.

In any case, you are unlikely to be far from the action when you are on the Upper West side except in a few out of the way corners.

Sorry, I have neither RSD or CP views - since my 1st priority is space, 2nd priority is light, views come a distand 3rd. CP views are WAY more valuable than RSD views. Simply put, they're just nicer. I'd much rather contemplate the East Side skyline than NJ.

Not to me. I love seeing the hawks, herons, gulls, sunsets, sailboats, barges, trees from RSD... all set off by sparkling water. The places I've visited with that sort of set-up make me drool. CPW? Not so much. Plus, I absolutely prefer Riverside Park over CP as a place to spend time outdoors.

W67th: With the housing bubble, CP views now gain you 8 inches. Unless you rent, in which case it's still only 4.

Fine point, oohah.

alec baldwin sold for $8.9M in el dorado in 2009, he bought it in 1991.

Let them move there. I think Sarah Jessica is also moving up there. Who cares?

The latest Beresford trophy buyer is the wife of Landmarc's Marc Murphy.

Hmm, and they didn't want to donate to my kid's public school auction.

nyc--now you know why ;-)

bramstar - It could have been the cost of the apartment, or the reaction of preview audiences to Ms. Murphy's new film, "Something Borrowed".

I think the family $$$$ can sustain a few bad movies :)

when will these freaking celeb get da hell outta here?

Madonna's Haperley Hall listing, mentioned by nyc10023 in the thread starter two years ago, is finally up:
http://streeteasy.com/nyc/sale/765121-coop-41-central-park-west-lincoln-square-new-york?email=true

Madonna also purchased #7A in 2008. I guess that unit will be offered separately.

Harperley, that is. Fat-fingered the silent "r".

More photos in the architectural digest article... Looks like the kitchen was redone since then. This is not exactly my favorite look...

Bruce Willis and his lovely young wife to the Eldorado:
http://streeteasy.com/nyc/closing/6079128

They settled for the fourth floor and treetop views. I think that says more about inventory than Mr. Willis's resources.

Minor note - interesting how the sellers were able to enlarge the bathrooms, despite all the talk here about how buildings don't allow "wet over dry"

The maid's bath and servant's quarters are probably part of the kitchen-wing wet zone, so no surprise there. The interesting part is the expansion of the master bath into the adjacent closets. I guess some shareholders have more pull than others.

Omfg a celeb in nyc? Really. Lovez starz magazine and reachng down my pants all day long. Ummmm. So productive. Gotta clear out the sacks once in awhile. Can't get that clogged up. No sireee.

Hey troll. Who's being trolled now, Beytch?

>Hey troll. Who's being trolled now, Beytch?

You've got your own form of trolling w67 & I don't try to imitate yours. You want to try to imitate mine? - fine, but so far it's far from the same.

Hey, how come you need inoitall, to help you with your financial decisions? I realize your dad who got you started is gone, but your brother - what happened there? Was he one of the "thousands that touched your wife?" Ooops!
Or something else, what is it with you and your family? Did you disgrace them? Not acceptable back in the home country?

Hahahahahhaaa. My form of trolling versus yourz? Yep. I use a lot more 'z'. Look field hamster. Think of my trolling as doing you a favor. By my making SE just for the two of us, I'm hurting you where it really hurts. Much akin to your 'touched by a thousand men' comment against my wife (doesn't bother me if she was touchéd by a 10k men, it bothers me that you think that it would hurt me so you keep bringing it up when you got nothing else). You can't troll if the site is dead. Well this site is dead, due in large part to the increasing crassness of w67. Also, the more my investment calls are correcterest and my net worth increasezzzz in real life the harder it is for Team RE to log into SE and post for fun. Now u can go on with your real life where that little nyc re bubble profit was the mostest maximest awesomest $$$ that has ever happened to your real life and will ever happen in your lifetime. That is what is called an anomaly. My Sprint, apple, Gtat, 200 condo development and $25mm apartment complex..... U decide. I'd be the loserest mostest cheer leader for team RE too if that was the only way I made coin in my life. Basically anyone who ever even questioned the 'value' of that bubble became your target.

And u r correct retard, you don't troll like me. I troll with a purpose and for the correct team, and it ain't team RE. Your on the side of the all that is evil with bubbles. Self serving nazis with their grubby little hands. Me me me me me, my money! My money! I got herez first! It's mine mine mine. Go team RE!

Teacher: who can tell us what true 'red badge of courage' is?

Yes, herr field hamster.

Field hamster: it's about a badge. It's red. And pin it on your lapel before going to a C7 closing where you get 6%. That's what my mama told me.

That's a nice little story.

That's a nice little story.
