While Fifth Avenue has seen some changes to its retail lineup in recent years, the street name remains synonymous with the world's best shopping and attractive to brands of all stripes. Gucci's current flagship is located at 721 Fifth Avenue, but its retail and office portions spent decades housed at 685 Fifth Avenue. About half a block up the street, former chairman Aldo Gucci owned a two-bedroom penthouse at 25 West 54th Street. Just as vintage Gucci pieces have stood the test of time, the current owner has retained many of the features from this time, most notably Mr. Gucci's jewelry safe.
More than 40 years later, the penthouse has been listed for $2.495 million. Its luxurious details, celebrated history, and private outdoor space may have driven it to the high end for Midtown West, where the median price of a two-bedroom co-op is $1.55 million (per CityRealty listings). However, to quote its famed former owner, "Quality is long remembered after price is forgotten."
