Fertilizer czar and Carpathian billionaire Alexander Rovt, estimated by Forbes to be worth $1.1 billion, is putting his townhouse at 232 E. 63rd St., built in 1925, on the market for $25 million today. Rovt’s Phantom Rolls-Royce, kept at the mansion, is included in the purchase price. The home is stunning, but since then Rovt bought the Sloane Mansion out of foreclosure (in 2011 for $34 million) and that is where he will prefer to live when renovations are complete.
Rovt spared no expense in the East 63rd Street townhouse, which underwent a five-year renovation. The 25-foot-wide, 11,400-square-foot, six-story home comes with five bedrooms and eight bathrooms. The home includes a grand staircase and elevator. The listing brokers are Tal and Oren Alexander of Douglas Elliman’s Alexander Team and Benjamin Benalloul, president of Portman Realty Management.
