Penthouse filled with furniture that once belonged to Gianni Versace hits the market for $10 million

A New York City penthouse located above Madison Square Park which comes with furniture from Gianni Versace’s personal collection has hit the market for $10million.

The property comes with 3,500 square feet of interior space and features herringbone hardwood floors, a private elevator and walls of windows that connect to a 364-square-foot terrace- the size of most apartments in the city.

The duplex unit in the trendy NoMad neighborhood offers stunning views of the New York Life building’s gilded roof, the Metropolitan Life clock tower and the iconic Flatiron building.

It is described as a ‘townhouse-in-the-sky’ and is made up of four bedrooms, three-and-a-half bathrooms and boasts sprawling living spaces.

And the sale includes furniture owned by the late Versace which the owner purchased in a Sotheby’s auction shortly after the fashion designer was murdered in Miami in 1997.

The Italian fashion designer had a fortune worth $500million thanks to his luxury label Versace and the contents of his Mediterranean-style mansion on Miami beach that were auctioned off in 2001.

His distinctive furniture, artwork, and decorative objects generated more than $2.7million.

The owner of this New York penthouse, located on the top two floors, purchased some of the rare furniture for around $50,000, including opulent couches, chairs, tables and rugs.

Versace’s furniture features heavily throughout the unit’s nine rooms although there is an option to purchase the property unfurnished if you want a more modern style.

They are in theme with the fashion designer’s garish style and are decorated with cheetah prints, the Medusa logo and gold hues.

The penthouse has built-in shelving, an eat-in kitchen, a gallery hall, and a library.

On the upper level, there is an owners’ suite which has an 80-foot-long wraparound terrace which offers stunning views of the city and a spa bath and a walk-in closet.

There is an extra bedroom on the same floor which the listing says can serve as an office, nursery, gym, or a luxurious dressing room.
