Hugh Jackman snaps up penthouse for eye-watering price
Hugh Jackman has snapped up a show stopping penthouse in New York City’s Chelsea neighbourhood, just two months after listing a deluxe triplex in Manhattan.
The Greatest Showman star bought the four-bedroom condo for $US 21.12 million ($AUD 29.86 million) after it was initially listed late last year for $US 25 million ($AUD 35.35 million), according to the Wall Street Journal.
The 434-square-metre apartment boasts city and river views through 14 floor-to-ceiling windows, a stainless steel kitchen with a glass breakfast bar, and space for a music room, with a piano already set-up.
Each of the bedrooms, tucked away at one end of the apartment, include stunning views, with the main bedroom featuring three exposures with views stretching from the Hudson River to the Empire State Building.
When it comes to outdoor spaces, the apartment includes a terrace and loggia on the main floor, as well as a sprawling roof terrace including an outdoor kitchen, several dining and lounge areas and views of the Hudson River.
Housed at the top of a famed building designed by Jean Nouvel, the condo comes with access to an 70-foot lap pool, a fitness centre with a sauna, concierge services and a full-time doorman.
Jackman’s luxe new purchase comes after he and his wife, Debora Lee Furness, listed their home in the West Village neighbourhood for a hefty $US 38.9 million ($AUD 55 million).
The 1000-square-metre apartment, which featured in a clip of Jackman practising sitting in tails ahead of the Met Gala on his social media in May, has since been taken off the market.
