Manhattan’s luxury market had a banner week with 29 contracts signed for homes asking at least $4 million, the most since June.
The most expensive home to go into contract, according to Olshan Realty’s weekly report, was unit PH15W at 135 East 79th Street. The penthouse was asking $20 million, down from $22.5 million when it was first listed in November. The seller bought the unit in 2014 from the condominium’s developer, the Brodsky Organization, for $23.4 million.
The 5,000-square-foot duplex has five bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms, along with two terraces that add 770 square feet of outdoor space. Off one terrace is a living room with a fireplace and a dining room. Off the other is a kitchen, den and fifth bedroom.
Amenities at the building include a doorman, fitness and yoga rooms, bike room and a lounge with a catering kitchen.

The 960-square-foot corner living room has windows on three sides and the primary bedroom comes with two large walk-in closets. A parking spot was included in the sale. Amenities in the condominium include a 24-hour attended lobby and fitness room.
