USA: NEW YORK: LADY FAIRFAX PENTHOUSE APARTMENT FOR SALE

(13 Mar 1996) English/Nat Got a spare 35-million dollars and looking for a great place in New York City? Then the Fairfax Apartment may be the place for you. Sitting high on top of Central Park, the lavish penthouse is up for sale - but only to the seriously super-rich The Grand Salon welcomes you with chandeliers and 20-foot high windows. One of New York's most valuable pieces of real estate, the Lady Fairfax penthouse is for sale. And the entire place, including this lavish marble staircase can be yours for a mere 35 million dollars (US). Everything inside is pure opulence. Eight baths, each outfitted with imported marble and ornate fixtures. Six master bedrooms are included in the asking price, each with its own spectacular views of New York City. SOUNDBITE: "It's approximately 12,000 square feet, 16 rooms. The living room where we're sitting now is 28-hundred square feet. 23-foot ceilings, it has four terraces and the most magnificent views of New York. SUPER CAPTION: Hall F. Willkie, Real Estate Broker, Brown Harris Stevens Located atop the Pierre Hotel on Fifth Avenue, the penthouse looks over New York's Central Park. Its asking price of 35-million dwarfs the highest price ever paid for an American apartment when a Park Avenue penthouse sold for 15-million dollars in 1994. Formerly a ballroom at the Pierre, the complex was bought by Australian Heiress Lady Fairfax in 1988. The widow of Australian newspaper magnate Lord Warwick Fairfax spent millions and six years turning it into a lavish French-style chateau, but after spending only a few weeks a year in its lavish surroundings, she decided to sell. Her transformation included hallways of polished wood lined with fine art. There's an Egyptian style sink and bath. For the thirsty but occupied, a mini-bar sits within arms length of the toilet. Another bath features a heated marble floor and fireplace. Sold on it yet? SOUNDBITE: "It is without a doubt the most important apartment in New York. It is a French chateau with a mansard roof that sits atop the Pierre Hotel. All the elements that create value in real estate this apartment has in abundance: location, size and quality." SUPER CAPTION: Hall F. Willkie No doubt someone will pay the price to wake up every morning in the lap of luxury. For the rest of us, it's merely a dream.
