See New York City's Priciest Home

The Fifth Avenue duplex is on the market for $96 million.

UPPER EAST SIDE, NY — A Fifth Avenue duplex is New York City's priciest home, boasting a $96 million price tag – even after a $25 million cut. The home in the prestigious 834 Fifth Ave. co-op was originally listed for $120 million, according to realtor.com.

The unit, which occupies the seventh and eighth floors of 834 5th Ave. — a building that boasts Rupert Murdoch, Charles Schwab and Elizabeth Arden as one-time residents — was first put on the market in April 2016, according to realtor.com. The seven-bedroom, 10-bathroom apartment features luxury trimmings such as original 1930s marble bathrooms, soaring ceilings, hardwood floors and a living room with two fireplaces.

If the luxurious features alone don't warrant the whopping asking price, the building's address might. The co-op at 845 Fifth Ave. is one of the most desired addresses in the city. The limestone-clad, 14-story building was designed by renowned architect Rosario Candela and built in 1931.
