Winklevoss Twins List Posh Penthouse in NYC for $16.95M

Venture capitalists Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss have listed a penthouse condo in SoHo for $16.95 million.

The Winklevoss twins picked up the residence in 2014 for $14.5 million. At the time, the corporation that purchased the home was reportedly connected to the brothers.

The twins gained fame in a dispute with Mark Zuckerberg over the genesis of Facebook. They have since moved on to amass a fortune as venture capitalists and investors in bitcoin and real estate.

Three-level condo

Centrally located in a prime Manhattan neighborhood, the loft-style condo offers outdoor terraces, three levels, and spectacular views.

The three-bedroom, 3.5-bath penthouse spans 4,300 square feet of interior space and comes with an additional 2,200 square feet of multilevel outdoor space.

You enter via a semiprivate elevator to the first level, which opens to a living area that’s bigger than many New York City apartments. It features a wall of windows and a gas fireplace.

An open kitchen serves up abundant cabinetry and counter space, as well as a center island with casual seating. A built-in banquette and dining area offer multiple eating options.

A floating staircase leads to the second and third levels.

Highlights of the upper levels include a library/den with a dry bar and wine cooler. Sliding glass doors in the primary suite open to a private terrace, and there’s an en suite spa bathroom. Additionally, there are two en suite bedrooms upstairs, as well as a half-bath.

On the third level, there’s an area with a wet bar that opens to the largest of three decks. It’s great for entertaining and enjoying views of the Freedom Tower, Hudson Yards, and the Empire State Building.

The Winklevoss brothers founded Winklevoss Capital Management and Gemini cryptocurrency exchange. The two also competed in the men’s pair rowing event at the 2008 Summer Olympics. In 2004, the twins sued Zuckerberg, accusing him of pinching their idea for what became Facebook.
