Formula One race car driver Lewis Hamilton is looking to sell his remarkable Tribeca penthouse, although he never really got to live there. In March 2019, he put it on the market for $57 million. Unfortunately, he didn’t succeed in finding a buyer.
Now, the six-time world champion is trying to sell it once again. But this time, for the much lower price of $52 million. According to records, Hamilton obtained the three-story home, which has a rooftop deck and plunge pool, for $44 million in 2017.
The breathtaking penthouse is situated in a star-studded building in Tribeca. It is also home to celebrities such as Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel, Bella Hadid and The Weeknd, as well as Harry Styles.
As the listing shows, Hamilton’s unit is the largest penthouse loft in the building. It measures in at 8,908 square feet and has an extra 3,426 square feet of alfresco space where this massive private rooftop terrace can be found. The area is so extensive that it even has a plunge pool and an outdoor kitchen!
The grand great room comes with 20-foot ceilings, and Christopher Peacock customized the chef’s kitchen. Once you go up through the floating wooden staircase, you’ll reach the second story, where the house’s five en suite bedrooms are found.
On the second floor is where the master’s bedroom is also located. It has its own gas-fueled fireplace and elegant windowed dressing area. As for the spa-style master bathroom, it has this big deep-soaking bathtub that’s placed against a patterned marble wall. There’s also the glass-enclosed steam shower and what appears to be a steam sauna.
As you move up the third floor, you’ll reach the terrace that holds the entertaining room, which is enclosed entirely in glass. Guests can also enjoy the wet bar and the powder room on the level of the house. Connecting all three floors is an in-house private elevator.
In terms of the building amenities, it includes all you’ll ever ask for from a 24-hour concierge to a Turkish vapor bath to a kid’s playroom. The penthouse unit also has two private parking spaces in the valet garage of the building. Hamilton also owns one more penthouse in the area, which he purchased for $40.7 million in 2019.
The 35-year-old Lewis Hamilton is known to hold the record of being the youngest ever formula one driver to bag the world championship. With his exceptional talent in racing, the star has dominated the racing sports world and continues to rake in a substantial sum of money. Since he’s now selling this property, who knows which one Hamilton will be eyeing to buy next!
