Edward Albee’s Loft Tops a List of High-Profile Deals in October – The New York Times

Ms. Copeland’s Upper West Side co-op, at 88 Central Park West and 69th Street, a.k.a. the Brentmore, sold for nearly $5.9 million, which was around the asking price.

The apartment exudes prewar elegance — with its beamed and coffered ceilings, decorative moldings, hardwood floors and living room fireplace — and each room is well proportioned. There are three bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms, plus a formal dining room, and off the living room, a Juliet balcony with French doors and views of nearby Central Park.

Ms. Copeland had owned the unit for at least half a century, and reportedly helped care for her brother, Mr. Miller, there before his death in 2005.

During her long acting career, Ms. Copeland starred in several films, TV soap operas and Broadway plays, including “The American Clock,” written by Mr. Miller and for which she received critical acclaim.

The anonymous buyer purchased the apartment through the Brentmore 2014 Revocable Trust.

Moving on to the West Village, Mr. Cohen of Bravo picked up a duplex for $18.2 million at 299 West 12th Street, a prewar condominium near Hudson Street.

The penthouse has around 3,000 square feet. According to the listing’s floor plans, it’s currently configured with two bedrooms, one of which was used as a study, and two and a half bathrooms, plus a solarium off the living room. Alternate floor plans show two more bedrooms easily added to the space, among the proposed changes. There’s a lot, too, that can be done with the exterior space, which totals 1,950 square feet and consists of two landscaped terraces, one on each level, with panoramic views of the Hudson River and downtown skyline.
