Barbara Corcoran, star of Shark Tank, lists her $12 million penthouse for sale.
Businesswoman and TV personality, Barbara Corcoran, has decided to let go of her "angelic abode in the clouds" - her Upper East Side penthouse, valued at a whopping $12 million.
The duplex penthouse, located in the Carnegie Hill neighborhood of Manhattan, is a stone's throw away from Central Park and has been the epitome of luxury living for Corcoran. Known for its breathtaking city views and an ambiance that exudes opulence, the penthouse has been a brainchild of Barbara's for many years.
In the early 1990s, when Corcoran was a mere courier, she chanced upon this marvelous penthouse while delivering an envelope. Instantly smitten by the terrace and Central Park vistas, she made a mental note to nab the property if it ever came up for sale. Fast forward 20 years, and the opportunity finally presented itself. In 2015, Corcoran, now an accomplished entrepreneur, purchased the 11-room penthouse along with her spouse for $10 million.
The penthouse underwent extensive 18-month renovations shelling out around $2 million to create an exquisite living space. Notable changes included gutting the apartment, preserving the curved staircase, flipping the upstairs and downstairs floor plans, and transforming a greenhouse into a glass solarium dining room. A chef's kitchen was also added adjacent to the terrace, enhancing the indoor-outdoor living experience.
Spanning around 4,600 square feet, the penthouse boasts a custom-designed library, a landscaped terrace, and unparalleled Central Park views accessible through French doors. It comprises four bedrooms, four full-bathrooms, two half-bathrooms, and a plethora of other rooms. With its sweeping views, elegant pocket doors, soaring ceilings, and custom moldings, the penthouse truly lives up to its nickname - Barbara's "lifelong dream."
Nevertheless, after cherishing the penthouse for several years, Barbara and her husband have decided to embark on a new chapter. With a one-story home as their preference, the decision to sell their beloved penthouse has been made. As Barbara suggested in an Instagram post, they are hoping to find a new owner who appreciates the penthouse as much as they do.
Despite the bittersweet farewell, Barbara has reflected on her successful career in real estate and her memorable stint on the popular TV show, "Shark Tank." With 16 years on the show, Barbara has learned valuable lessons and shared innumerable insights, as evidenced by her recent Instagram post celebrating their 16-year milestone on the show.
So, as Barbara Corcoran prepares to let go of "heaven on earth," we look forward to witnessing her future endeavors and the exciting chapter ahead that awaits her. For more details on the penthouse and upcoming real estate trends, stay tuned!
