The three-bedroom Beresford apartment where renowned opera singer, arts advocate and “Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson” guest host Beverly Sills lived until her death in 2007 has hit the market for $6.995 million, according to the New York Times. The prestigious Emery Roth-designed co-op at 211 Central Park West is in some ways as famous as Sills herself, having housed the likes of Jerry Seinfeld, Diana Ross, Glenn Close, John McEnroe and Rock Hudson. Sills’ former fourth-floor apartment, which is now in the hands of her daughter, Meredith Holden Greenough, has herringbone floors, high ceilings, a fireplace and views of Central Park. Sandra Balan of the Corcoran Group has the listing. [NYT]

Robert Weinstein, who runs Weinstein Company
with his brother, Harvey Weinstein, has put his 6,500-square-foot
duplex at the Beresford on the market for about $34 million, according to the Observer. Weinstein
bought the home, at 211 Central Park West between 81st and 82nd
streets, for $20 million in September 2004. The $34 million price tag
is more than any unit has ever sold for in the building. Investor Bill
Ackman spent $26 million on a duplex one floor above Weinstein’s unit,
and Jerry Seinfeld bought a duplex in the building for $4.35 million 10
years ago. Brown Harris Stevens’ Ileen Schoenfeld, who listed the home
five years ago when Weinstein bought it, is reportedly representing the
unit. [more]
