Unsold Four Seasons Penthouse Holding Firm At $1.75 Million

This two-story Four Seasons penthouse is a Shangri La in the sky, but apparently not enough so to entice buyers into a $1.75 million contract. The 3,675 square-foot unit has had an on-again, off-again relationship with the open market. It was listed as high as $2.3 million in 2010, and has held firm at the current price since October. Are sellers asking too much, or are the "custom hand-forged iron railings" that repulsive? Elegance and airiness are consistent themes, from the cavernous living room (fine chandeliers overhead) to a revamped kitchen with stone counters and Siematic cabinetry. All told, the unit encompasses three beds and four baths atop the 1992 building. Lay 20 percent, and estimated mortgage payments would be a mere $6,000/month. · 75 14th St. NE UNIT 4830 [Zillow]
