George Takei listed his cozy corner pied-a-terre in Manhattan’s Metropolitan Towers building this month for $1.35 million.
The man who played Mr. Sulu, an integral member of the first-gen Starship Enterprise crew, has owned the condo for about ten years, according to public records.
The apartment is a one-bedroom unit, boasting a large master suite and an additional half bath in marble. The living area features abundant glass that looks out on the city and a slice of the Hudson from the 35th floor; views from the kitchen are also excellent.
Materials and finishes are top-notch, with ebony plank floors topping the list. Track lighting, soft sky-blue paint, and a lengthy entrance hall also distinguish this slightly less than 900 square-foot residence.
The Metropolitan Towers building dates to the middle of the 1980’s. It is a fixture on billionaire’s row, rising 78 stories above terra firma.
