It may not be owned by Robert De Niro, but the duplex penthouse in the West Village was rented out for two years by the 71 year old American actor. That is the trump card of selling the $39 million home nestled in the prime shopping and dining neighborhood in the New York City borough of Manhattan.
Located on Perry Street, the property features five bedrooms, four bathrooms along with a private seven-car garage that can that fit up to 14 cars. The house is highlighted with a master bedroom with two walk-in closets, an en-suite bathroom with steam room and a library with a wood-burning fireplace in the living room.
Flooded with natural light, the penthouse boasts of high ceilings and clean lines. The kitchen of the airy two-level home also features a classic pot rack surrounding the hood above the large central island. In addition to the main kitchen, with its twin Sub-Zero refrigerators, the apartment has a prep kitchen and a walk-in pantry.
Dubbed as ‘a contemporary masterpiece’ and one of New York City’s ‘most magnificent’ homes, the home also boasts of a central courtyard as well as large terraces that offer 360-degree views of the Hudson River and the Manhattan skyline.
The God Father star and his wife Grace Hightower moved in this house on the edge of the Manhattan’s West Village in June 2012 after a fire damaged their Upper West Side apartment.
