Lavish 'Barbie Dream' Penthouse in NYC Hits Market for $7.885M
A luxurious penthouse at 145 East 76th Street in New York, once owned by Heather Kerzner, ex-wife of billionaire hotelier Sol Kerzner, is back on the market. The 2,371-square-foot apartment, dubbed the 'Barbie Dream' floor-through, is listed for $7.885 million. It boasts a whale shark tank and custom features throughout.
The penthouse, a 'jewel box' according to its listing, features a Wedgwood blue living room with pink-sand hourglasses, navy-velvet sectionals, and a veiny marble fireplace. The dining room is adorned with custom lemon-tree wallpaper and a kaleidoscopic painting by Damien Hirst. The primary suite offers large-format floral wallpaper and raspberry-lacquered closets with paneled mirrors. The apartment also includes a wraparound terrace.
The penthouse's history is as lavish as its design. It was previously owned by Heather Kerzner, who lost art and furniture worth $500,000 when her belongings were seized and sold in a fire sale for around $1,600 in 2018. Her engagement to James Henderson collapsed in 2017 due to the implosion of his public-relations firm, Bell Pottinger. The current owner is unknown, as no search results provide information about them.
The 'Barbie Dream' penthouse, with its unique features and intriguing history, is now available for purchase. Despite its past, the apartment remains a testament to luxury and opulence, offering a rare opportunity for a new owner to make their mark.
