Meredith Vieira — the original moderator of “The View” and former host of “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire” — is offering someone the chance to snap up a prime piece of real estate in the big city. The star is selling her New York penthouse — a fabulous residence which is located in an impressive neighborhood, found in a renowned building and described as “iconic” by TMZ.
While “Vieira and her late husband, Emmy-winning producer Richard Cohen, bought the place in 2014 for just under $9 million,” per TMZ, she has now put it on the market for $10.5 million.
The Incredible Home Boasts Plenty of Enviable Details
Offering owners three bedrooms and three and a half bathrooms as well as around 2,800 square feet of space, “this sun-filled penthouse … embodies timeless elegance and architectural integrity,” according to the Corcoran listing. “With gracious scale, exquisite moldings, and two beautifully landscaped terraces that embrace the home on three sides, every detail reflects both the craftsmanship of [architect] Emery Roth and the enduring comfort of a classic New York home.”
After “arriv[ing] by private elevator landing” and “step[ping] into an expansive living and dining area that immediately conveys warmth and proportion,” residents can appreciate the “elegant herringbone oak floors, soaring ceilings, and finely detailed moldings frame the room, while a two-sided decorative fireplace connects the formal dining area with the inviting living room creating a natural sense of flow.” Beyond that, “French doors open to the southern and western terrace, a serene setting for sunset dining or entertaining beneath open sky. Nearby, a custom built-in bar enhances the home’s ease of hospitality.”
Along with an eat-in kitchen that includes everything you might expect in an upscale yet homey penthouse, the listing notes that there is also a “pantry and laundry area” that “lead to a windowed office or fourth bedroom with an adjacent powder room perfect as a den, guest suite, or private retreat.”
“The primary suite offers a quiet sense of sanctuary with direct terrace access, custom built-in closets, and a windowed bath appointed with dual sinks, a walk-in shower, and refined finishes that echo the home’s Art Deco heritage,” the listing explains.
Additionally, the listing tells potential buyers that there are two other bedrooms in the “private wing,” “one with an en suite bath and the other served by a nearby full bath. … Each opens onto the northern terrace, where the beautifully planted setting and open views of the Central Park Reservoir create a tranquil connection to nature rarely found at this height.”
The Penthouse Is Found in The Eldorado
If you’re wondering just how high Vieira’s penthouse happens to be, the listing notes that it’s located on the 19th floor of “one of Central Park West’s most distinguished Art Deco landmarks,” The Eldorado.
“A true masterpiece by Emery Roth, The Eldorado was completed in 1931 and remains one of New York’s most beloved residential towers, a defining presence on Central Park West and an enduring symbol of Art Deco grace,” per the listing.
“Residents enjoy white-glove service, including a 24-hour doorman, concierge, fitness center with half basketball court, children’s playroom, and bike storage,” the listing points out. “Moments from the Central Park Reservoir and surrounded by the cultural richness of the Upper West Side, this home offers a rare balance of privacy, beauty, and connection to one of the city’s most iconic landscapes.”
