Scott Kurnit’s Sutton Place condominium is for sale; the price tag is $13.9 million. The entrepreneur who launched About.com, a venue for easy virtual answers, has just listed the property, which is located at One Beacon Court, and measures 3,058 square feet. The apartment boasts a feeling of spaciousness belying its footage—11-foot ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows that witness the city and Central Park help achieve the sense of endless continuation.
The apartment includes a kitchen outfitted with top-of-line appliances, custom closet spaces, and an expansive living room decorated in an extremely eclectic style. There are three 65-inch TVs along one wall, which enable a viewer to experience—in the words of the real estate listing—“18 different channels simultaneously”: perfect for media prodigies, or those interested in tackling prodigious media. The large bathroom is traditionally black-on-white tasteful.
One Beacon Court boasts an appealing list of luxuries for its residents, including garage with valet service, personalized concierge service and, of course, full-time doorman. Apartments are trimmed in Basaltina, marble, and granite, and the kitchen appliances are SubZero and Wolf. The building also features ‘The Beacon Club,’ which offers a lounge, business center, and children’s playroom, among other amenities.
Scott Kurnit began his career as a program director at PBS, before launching pay-per-viewing, and bringing caller I.D. into mainstream usage; he has since worked for Showtime and MCI. He founded Keep Holdings—a series of 21st century marketing approaches that act as consumerist envoys—as well as About.com.
Billionaire hedge fund manager Steve Cohen has a duplex listed for $67.5 million in the same building.
