This 16-Room Upper East Side Penthouse with Conservatory is Back for $4M Less

Real estate in NYC has its own special 'wow' factor that many of us have become accustomed to. However, every now and again you come across a property of truly epic proportions, and this seven-bedroom, 16-room penthouse located at 52 East 72nd Street on the Upper East Side is just that. The massive space spans approximately 6,300 square feet and includes 1,200 square feet of elegantly landscaped terraces. The listing price for this beauty is $17.95 million—and yep, if you've been following it, it has indeed returned to the market for $4 million less than its April listing price.
