Mrs. Armory S. Carhart Mansion, home of the past week's top apartment contract (Brown Harris Stevens)
From October 10-17, 2022, the top apartment contract was for #DUPLEX2 in Mrs. Armory S. Carhart Mansion, which was asking $23,900,000; Olshan Realty's market report notes that this represents a reduction from $28,400,000 when it was listed in March 2020. It is one of only four apartments at 3 East 95th Street, which the Landmarks Preservation Commission has described as "one of the finest examples of 18th-century French Classicism." This massive apartment measures five bedrooms, five and a half baths, and 10,350 square feet.
The top townhouse contract was for 42 East 81st Street, which was asking $11,995,000. The five-story house dates back to 1872, but offers such modern luxuries as a finished basement recreation room, a full laundry room, an eat-in kitchen with top-of-the-line appliances, and a spa-like primary bath with radiant heated floors, Jacuzzi tub, and steam shower.
