Businessman and philanthropist Charles Bronfman has sold his sixth-floor home at 810 Fifth Ave. to hedgefunder David Goel for $19 million, Gimme Shelter has learned. The home’s asking price was $19.9 million — a drop in the bucket compared to Bronfman’s estimated $2 billion net worth.
The three-bedroom, four-bathroom, full-floor home is in a 1926 Renaissance-style building with a limestone facade designed by J.E.R. Carpenter. The fully renovated co-op, with its own elevator landing, has views of Central Park, a “sprawling” living room and corner library. There’s also a master bedroom suite with his-and-hers en-suite marble-clad bathrooms and two custom-designed dressing rooms. The home also includes a “humidification system” and an “ultra-violet air cleaning system.”
