Oprah is saying goodbye to her posh $7.9 million Manhattan penthouse apartment. Sources say that it was originally bought by Oprah for her best friend Gayle King, but Gayle currently lives in another NYC apartment, so we’re not really sure who this apartment belongs to! Either way, take a peak inside & get more details after the jump!
In 2008, it was reported that former news anchor and Oprah Winfrey’s best bud Gayle King bought a 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath apartment in the new Midtown tower Place 57.
After all was said and done, it appeared that the home was not purchased by King, but by the talk show diva herself for $7.1 million.
Who actually lived there is up for debate, but as for now, the penthouse is for sale for $7.9 million and appears to be vacant.
Finished in 2006, Place 57 has condos ringing in originally from $1.47 million to $7-plus million. Oprah’s penthouse sits on the 36th floor and features 2,530 square feet of wall-to-ceiling windowed space as well as a 768-square-foot terrace.
The modern space features a “triangle-shaped†living room, high-end kitchen, dining area, and two bedrooms, one with an attached bathroom. The master suite has three walk-in closets, a jetted tub and sleek shower.
If this is Oprah’s home, it’s only one on a list of several properties she owns, including a duplex in downtown Chicago, a plantation in Hawaii, huge sprawling property in Montecito as well as smaller homes and condos in Douglasville, GA, Franklin, TN and Elmwood Park, Il.
King currently owns an apartment in the Big Apple as well as a home in Greenwich, CT.
