Bob Weinstein takes another loss on $20.5M sale of Central Park West apartment
Producer Robert “Bob” Weinstein continues to unload his real estate portfolio amid business parter and brother Harvey’s sexual abuse allegations. In December, he sold his Upper West Side townhouse for $15 million, the same exact price he paid for it in 2009 with ex-wife Annie Clayton. Just last month, he unloaded his Greenwich, Connecticut mansion for $17 million after three years on the market and a 15 percent price chop. And according to city records released yesterday, his massive Central Park West duplex at the Beresford has now closed for $20.5 million, just a hair above the $20 million he bought it for in 2004 and much less than the $29.5 million it listed for nearly a year ago. The buyer is listed as Pamela Schein Murphy, wife of restauranteur Marc Murphy. Not only does the 14-room spread encompass 7,000 square feet, but it boasts two large terraces overlooking the park.
The duplex, located on the 16th and 17th floors, has all of the co-op building’s historic elements, including original moldings, herringbone floors, casement windows, and wood-burning fireplaces.
The lower level holds the living room and library with views of Central Park and the Museum of Natural History. There’s also a formal dining room, den/home office with ensuite bath, and a huge country kitchen.
Up an elegant, curving staircase are the five bedrooms, including the master suite which has two large walk-in closets, a dressing room, wood-burning fireplace, and access to the larger 32-foot-long terrace. The smaller, 15-foot terrace is located off the sitting room. Both outdoor spaces have hand-crafted wrought iron railings.
