Real-estate mogul Barbara Corcoran sold her Fifth Avenue penthouse in just one day in May — and it appears her next-door neighbor took note of the success.
An 11-room penthouse alongside Corcoran’s former pad listed for $11.5 million this week, according to a StreetEasy listing update.
This isn’t the first time the rare Fifth Avenue duplex has attempted to sell, but if Corcoran’s recent deal is anything to go by, it might not be on the market for long.
The Upper East Side home is perched atop the 15th floor of 1158 Fifth Ave., a white-glove co-op circa 1924.
The prewar building, located at Fifth Avenue and 97th Street, boasts Central Park and city skyline views.
The listing, held by Linda Maloney of Sotheby’s International Realty, calls the home’s wraparound terrace its “crown jewel.”
The listing advertises five bedrooms and five full bathrooms, including a primary bedroom with a private terrace. The sprawling residence also features an eat-in chef’s kitchen and a formal dining room.
Amenities include ample built-ins, laundry rooms on both floors and two fireplaces — one gas, one woodburning.
The fresh listing comes less than four months after the home’s high-profile neighbor listed and sold her similarly well-appointed home in less than 24 hours.
Corcoran, founder of the Corcoran Group, purchased the duplex next-door for $10 million in 2015, according to city records. She undertook extensive renovations of the 4,600-square-foot aerie, including flipping the floor plan, installing a chef’s kitchen and transforming her terrace greenhouse into a dining area.
The $12 million asking price was below her total investment, the New York Times reported. Corcoran told the outlet that she “never thought” she would leave. She has since relocated to a one-story apartment in the same Carnegie Hill neighborhood.
Corcoran’s penthouse remains in contract, so its eager buyer and their final price remain under wraps until the sale officially closes.
The newly listed duplex was purchased in 2005 for $3.01 million, according to city records. The owners tried to sell for $8.9 million in 2010, according to StreetEasy, but they ultimately removed the listing after 6 months.
Both homes atop the 1158 Fifth Ave. edifice enjoy a 24-hour doorman and concierge, a live-in resident manager, a fitness center and bike storage — but if you can get views like this, you can probably afford a cab.
