A Manhattan penthouse that was once home to fashion icon Bill Blass has just hit the market, with an asking price of $6.75 million.
It was from this unique penthouse that Blass, who once dressed first ladies Jacqueline Kennedy and Nancy Reagan, would host star-studded parties, with guests like Cary Grant and the Duke and Duchess of Windsor hobnobbing on his private 3,000-square-feet terraces, according to the Brown Harris Stevens listing.
The 2,340-square-foot apartment has two bedrooms and two baths. The master bedroom comes with a dressing room/office. It connects to a private 1,000-square-foot terrace with spectacular views of the East River and the QueensboroughBridge. The master bathroom features a soaking tub, a separate multi-jet stall shower and radiant heated floors. The guest bedroom has its own bath, with access to the wrap-around terrace.
