CNN president Jeff Zucker finds a buyer for his glitzy $17.5M Upper East Side home

After purchasing his Upper East Side co-op for $12.3 million in 2007, CNN chief executive Jeff Zucker first put the five-bedroom apartment on the market in February for $17.5 million. Now, the Wall Street Journal reports that Zucker and his wife Caryn have found a buyer for the large, glitzy pad, though the buyer’s identity and final sale price have not yet been made public. Located at The Verona at 32 East 64th Street, the home is full of elegant touches like Venetian plaster walls, three working fireplaces, and a private elevator landing.

Understated luxury seems to be the theme of the home, from silk velvet walls in the dining room to the 25-foot-long chef’s kitchen with two separate eating areas. There’s also a lacquered walled library, a private office, a laundry room, a den/playroom, four-and-a-half bathrooms, and both a foyer and a gallery.

All of the bedrooms have access to an en-suite bathroom, and the master suite also boasts three closets, two of which are walk-ins.

Listing agents Lisa Tarnopol Deslauriers and Linda Reiner declined to comment on the listing, but Warburg did confirm that it is in contract.
