One of the finest residential properties in Manhattan—a triplex penthouse at the San Remo, a pre-WWII building designed by prominent New York architect Emery Roth that is a landmark fixture of the UWS—listed recently for $50 million.
Back in the day, the co-op unit was a pied-a-terre for A-list film star couple Demi Moore and Bruce Willis. The couple renovated the home during their lengthy ownership tenure, following a mission-style motif that contrasts naturalistic wood and craftsman elements with a blazing white treatment.
The penthouse contains seventeen rooms. Ornamental details include the sculptural staircase, the odd wall niche, inlaid hardwood floors, and original crown moldings. The exterior living space is as marvelous as the interior living space, and includes a series of balconies and a large terrace floored with slate.
The duo purchased the property from Robert Stigwood, who made a bundle managing Eric Clapton from his days with Cream through the 1970s, before turning film producer toward the end of the decade. Moore took ownership after her marriage to Willis went south, first listing it for $75 million in 2015. She eventually sold it in 2017, for $45 million, to the seller looking to gross about five mil on the deal.
