Lavish gold-domed penthouse in New York City on sale for $25 million

CNN — Visitors to New York City’s famed Flatiron Building may have noticed the landmark’s lesser-known neighbor — a narrow high-rise that would be modest if not for its extravagant gold dome. Eitan Gamliely/Sotheby’s International Realty “It’s really buying a true old New York piece of property,” said the Sotheby’s listing agent, Lawrence Treglia, in a phone call to CNN. Whenever you see the Flatiron building, it’s always shown on the right-hand side.” “There’s nothing of this kind in that price bracket,” Treglia added, noting that comparable New York penthouses are typically in new developments. The Beaux-Arts building was designed by Robert Maynicke, who had a large architectural footprint in the city in the early 20th century — from the landmarked 41 Park Row, which originally housed The New York Times, to 200 Fifth Avenue, a one-time toy manufacturing hub with a distinctive gold sidewalk clock that now houses Eataly and the offices of Tiffany & Co., among others..
