484 5M more and no pool. Probably a safer location but these days a townhouse would need heavy security anyway if unrest perks up again which I think it will.

484 got walled off at the back!! I am sure there is a prince of darkness with $20mm.

2.5X this:

Perhaps there is more than one prince of darkness.

West 17TH street is just more beautiful and very sybaritic

484 sold for 10.5mm in 2013 renovated.

484 was a split commercial/residential when sold in 2013, with a very expensive renovation since then. Something about the decor screams California to me. Wonder if this is a Hollywood type.

That square footage seems impossible.
If you take the 2nd floor living room, the square portion of the footprint call it 27' by 30' = 810 sq ft.
The leftover triangle if the pythagorean theorem still holds is 27' by 13' and split that in half =175 sq ft.
Be generous, call it 1000 sq ft per floor. Get obscenely philanthropic, call it 8 floors basement and roof deck and your still only 8,000 sq ft.

It is wider and they do say girth matters

In the article nyc_sport linked to it says the most recent renovation "will go from 5,840 square feet to 7,014 square feet."

I had to look up “sybaratic.”

Yes, it’s a portmanteau between “aphroditic” and “syphilis”.

Well , it is “sybaritic” - maybe you need a dictionary

Then again, I guess you see lots of places with parking in the house, a screening room, a pool, etc. etc. definitely how a sybarite would like to live.

I just meant the word, ph41, not the place. The place is legit.

BTW, which of the 4 variants of sybarite did you mean: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sybarite?

@ph41 - After I looked up sybaritic and found out what it means, I absolutely concurred with your use of it with respect to this house.

@inonada - I can imagine either the first or the fourth variant in that house.

>ino - could only go with the 1st of those, or more to the point, the standard meaning (in most dictionaries) of a person devoted to luxury and pleasure.
