Madoff bought the apartment in 1984 and had lived there until 2009. The property was later bought in 2010 by 4Kids Entertainment CEO Al Kahn and his wife, Patsy, for $8 million. Patsy Kahn is selling the three-bedroom and four-and-a-half-bath duplex solo, as her now ex-husband has already moved out.

The apartment, at Lexington Avenue, features 11-foot ceilings, hand-carved dentil moldings, a medley of herringbone hardwood floors, and Palladian windows throughout its principal rooms on the 12th floor, which are surrounded by a wraparound terrace with views of Central Park and the Chrysler Building.

The guest bedroom has two closets and an adjacent tile bath. A third bedroom has a marble fireplace and paneled walls with built-in bookcases. [NYT]James Comtois
