Two co-ops topped the list of Manhattan’s most expensive home sales last week—the first time this has happened in a year, according to the latest weekly report from Olshan Realty released Monday.
At the top of the pile was a pre-war duplex co-op, asking $16 million, located at 24 Gramercy Park North. The apartment’s in a tony 12-story white-glove co-op building with a doorman, and residents get a key to the private Gramercy Park.

The property, which had been on the market for just under two months, has four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a living room and library lined by three Juliet balconies overlooking Gramercy Park.
In second place was a three-bedroom, four-bathroom apartment at 262 Central Park West, asking $12.5 million. This corner, nine-room unit, which sold in two weeks, has 75 feet of frontage on Central Park including a side-by-side living room and dining room, master bedroom and library.
Overall, 28 contracts were signed at $4 million and above in Manhattan last week. This was up from 21 the previous week and 20 in the same week a year earlier.
"We just concluded a stellar February, and as we approach spring, hope springs eternal," said Donna Olshan, president of Olshan Realty. "Scoring 28 might augur well for a muscular March."
