When Manhattan Transfers broke the story about Verna Harrah’s sale at the Time Warner Center, the listing broker said her apartment “sold for close” to the $25 milion price tag.
But according to newly filed city records, the buyer (listed on the deed as the Armstrong Family Trust) got quite a discount. The closing price was $22.5 million–which bought
a nice living room on Central Park, a family room overlooking the Hudson, a foyer of “gold leaf with 17th century columns,” six marble bathrooms and two powder rooms, too.
Don’t fret for Ms. Harrah: she only paid $8,823,018 for the apartment three years ago. (Click above for a bigger picture of the posh domain.)
