15 Central Park West, #33C (Engel & Volkers)
As the top contracts of July 31 - August 6, 2023 show, it was a good week for Manhattan's Upper West Side. Around the same time political cartoonist Ranan Lurie's estate sold his apartment at 15 Central Park West, Residence #33C, located a few floors down in the Robert A.M. Stern-designed building entered contract with a $18,950,000 ask. Olshan Realty's market report notes that this represents a small reduction from the original asking price of $19,995,000, but that the unidentified seller still stands to make a profit on the three-bedroom condo, having purchased it from the sponsor for $10,131,588 in 2008.
Residence #33C measures 2,761 square feet and, as per the building's stacking plan, is one of only three apartments on its floor. But some luxury buyers crave more privacy: It was trailed by 304 West 90th Street, a pristine prewar townhouse that entered contract with a $12,800,000 asking price, the second-highest of the week. 144 West 82nd Street, a single-family home that entered contract with an asking price of $8,990,000, had the fifth-highest asking price.

75 Bedford Street (APT212 Inc.)
Indeed, townhouses accounted for three of the top five Manhattan contracts of the past week. Rounding them out was 75 Bedford Street, where the asking price of $11,500,000 was the fourth-highest of the past week. It is located next door to Millay House, also known as "the skinny house." However, between its top-floor artist's studio and recent renovation by acclaimed architect M.N. Ahari, 75 Bedford Street is a work of art in its own right. The current seller has not been identified, but in a 2021 profile of the listing, 6sqft noted that filmmaker James Oakley lived in the house from 2012 to 2017.
