After years of complaints over construction noise and debris, a townhouse at 48-50 West 69th Street, between Columbus Avenue and Central Park West, hit the market recently with a staggering $85 million asking price, as reported by the Wall Street Journal.
The buildings were demolished in 2018 and replaced by one larger combined property. The newly completed eight-story townhouse has five bedrooms, eight full bathrooms, a limestone floating staircase, fireplaces, a 55-foot indoor lap pool, and a wraparound terrace, according to a listing.
A petition created by neighbors in 2019 complained about the construction noise, likening it to 'jackhammers digging deeper into the center of the earth like thunderous meteor showers hitting the land.' The New York Times even covered the project with an article titled - 'That Noise? The Rich Neighbors Digging a Basement Pool in Their $100 Million Brownstone.'
