This Manhattan triplex listing will turn you into something of a real estate aficionado.
According to a StreetEasy listing, the iconic Murray Hill penthouse in New York City that Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man trilogy enthusiasts would recognise in a heartbeat is now up for sale. Tudor City’s one-bedroom spread makes a larger-than-life appearance as the Spider-Man supervillain Green Goblin’s lair in all three early 2000s movies. Once a fictional abode to Willem Dafoe’s timeless sinister character, it could now be yours regardless of your lack of superpowers as long as you have the money to shell out. Now listed for a $1.95 million price tag, the unforgettable unit hit the market in 2021 for $1.99 million. However, it sold in 2022 for a slightly lesser price at $1.75 million, as The New York Post reported.
The penthouse’s great room, which looks over the Midtown skyline, has an 18-foot ceiling and 15-foot-high casement windows. As noteworthy as the unit is in itself, the historic 5 Tudor City Place building housing it—Windsor Tower—is also another fame-attracting landmark, having featured in the movies The Bourne Ultimatum, Scarface, and The Godfather Part III.
The unit, which appears in Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man saga, has a nearly 300-square-foot private roof terrace on its third floor, which also provides some storage space. Compass’ Clayton Orrigo, Eva Alt, and Stephen Ferrara hold the listing for Tudor City Place Unit PH5, which has 1.5 bathrooms. The sole bedroom on the unit's second floor features two custom walk-in closets, two linen closets, and an ensuite bathroom with marble.
