Built in 2004 with 14 floors and 142 units, the building is located in the West Village, near boutique shopping and restaurants, amid well-preserved historic buildings.
The penthouse first hit the market seven years ago, listed for $25 million before a series of price cuts, and was successfully listed and sold with Laurie Lewis and Charlie Miller of Corcoran.
The Olsen twins, famous for their time on “Full House” before becoming fashion designers with their brand The Row, first sold the penthouse in 2010 for $7.7 million.
According to the New York Post, they originally paid $7.4 million for the unit while it was still being constructed, but never moved in.
