The post Most expensive penthouse in New York first appeared on The Published Pen.]]> I was looking for a mansion for New York as the most expensive, but a penthouse at 220 Central Park is the most expensive.  Of course there’s no pictures of the penthouse it’s said to still under construction.  The penthouse is 24,000 square feet and has 16 bedrooms and 18.5 bathrooms with five balconies, and a terrace facing Central Park

Here’s the blurb from the 220 Central Park website:  The duplex penthouse famously closed in January 2019 for $239,958,219, setting the record for the highest price personal residence sold in the United States. As you can see, it’s the highest priced in the United States!

Here are the floor plans if the penthouse:

The post Most expensive mansion in Minnesota first appeared on The Published Pen.]]> Well, one of the most expensive house mansions in Minnesota was turned into rubble in 2018!

The home was completed in 1919 by John S. Pillsbury and his wife Eleanor. John was the son of Charles Pillsbury, the founder of the Pillsbury Flour Co.

While John had an uncle with the same name, John S. Pillsbury, who was governor of Minnesota at one point, John lived as heir to a fortune. He was CEO of the company for a while.

John had purchased the property from the Dunwoody family and tore down their home.

John and Eleanor commissioned the architect Harrie T. Lindeberg to create the 32,000-square-foot mansion. A New Yorker, Lindeberg built summer estates for many of America’s big-name families, such as the Morgans and the Vanderbilts.  View more of Harrie Lindeberg’s architect here.

Jim and Mary Jundt purchased the home and began restoration work that would take three years. They hired a firm that had also restored Grand Central Station and Ellis Island buildings out in New York.

Come 2006, the Jundts hosted President George W. Bush when he was in the area for a gala.

Not long after, they put the house on the market for $53.5 million. They later reduced it to $26 million, and so on…
