Fred Wilpon and his former home at Sterling Plaza

The former New York City home of Mets principal owner Fred Wilpon is back on the market for $7.5 million. The 33rd-floor-penthouse at 255 East 49th Street, Sterling Plaza, has 3,256 square feet of living space, plus a 2,000-square-foot roof deck. Wilpon’s Sterling Equities developed the building in 1984 and he kept the apartment for himself until selling it in 1997. Linda Stillwell of the Corcoran Group, who was Wilpon’s listing agent at the time, is now charged with selling it again. It has three bedrooms, a library, two wood-burning fireplaces and views of the East River, United Nations and the Midtown skyline. [NYT]
