Details

So, this apartment is in a super tall building, 111 West 57th Street, which they say is a pretty fancy place overlooking Central Park. It’s a full-floor unit with its own elevator entry. The main living area has 14-foot ceilings and huge windows with amazing park views. The primary bedroom also looks out over the park, and it has a large dressing room and a bathroom with a cool freestanding tub and fancy fixtures.

The other bedrooms have city views and their own bathrooms. The kitchen has custom cabinets and high-end Gaggenau appliances. It’s a pretty luxe setup, no doubt about it. The building itself offers a lot of amenities like a pool, gym, sauna, and even a private padel court, though some of those might have extra fees. It definitely seems like a "lifestyle" kind of place, with services like a concierge and daily breakfast provided. The question is, for over $11 million, and with all those shared facilities, is it really worth it? Or am I just missing something here?
