The Brooklyn native, 81, and her husband, Jerry, who is also a former television personality and judge, paid $8.5 million for the home in 2013, records show.
The eight-room unit, in a pre-war building designed by the renowned architect Rosario Candela, is the “epitome of refined living,” according to the listing with Tom Postilio and Mickey Conlon of Compass.
“Judy has impeccable taste in real estate, and this home is no exception,” Postilio said. “Any devotee of Sutton Place will find this home completely in tune with its surroundings. Its timeless design bucks trends in favor of style, and this penthouse has style in spades.”
A 29-foot entrance gallery leads into the home, which has a living room with a wood-burning fireplace; a formal dining room with floor-to-ceiling French casement doors; a wood-paneled library; and a chef’s kitchen that doubles as a social hub and casual dining area, the listing said.
There’s also a curved staircase with its original wrought-iron balustrade and four bedrooms, including a corner primary suite. The real show-stopping feature might be the expansive wraparound terrace, though, which has “jaw-dropping vistas of the New York skyline and the East River,” Conlon said.
“Every room in the home is a place you want to be,” he added. “The light and views are extraordinary, and the quality of craftsmanship throughout is impeccable. That said, you’d have a hard time coaxing us off that terrace—even on the coldest day of the year.”
