Heather Randall, a nonprofit theatre executive and widow of actor Tony Randall, has listed her Upper West Side condominium for US$9.5 million (A$15.1 million).
The four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bathroom residence spans approximately 3,200 square feet at the Grand Millennium, a 32-storey tower at Broadway and West 66th Street developed by Millennium Partners in 1996.
Heather purchased the property in 2008 for US$6.7 million (A$10.6 million) from former Democratic US Senator George Mitchell and his wife Heather Mitchell, a World Wrestling Entertainment executive.
Interiors were designed by celebrated architect Robert A.M. Stern during the Mitchells’ ownership, including converting a hallway into an expansive walk-in closet in the primary suite.
According to Crain’s, Heather has since reconfigured the layout, replacing the Mitchells’ kitchen with a den and converting George’s library into her kitchen.
The residence features a 30-foot living room with three exposures and floor-to-ceiling windows, opening onto a 200-square-foot private terrace – a rarity in Manhattan.
The chef’s kitchen includes a six-burner Viking range, dual Miele ovens, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, and a centre island with an eat-in counter.
Additional features include 10-foot ceilings, solid wood flooring, motorised window treatments, and in-residence laundry.
“Newer condos in the neighbourhood have prices that are through the roof,” said Maria Pashby of Brown Harris Stevens, who is marketing the property with her daughter Joanna.
“They also don’t have the same level of closets.”
Heather relocated to the Grand Millennium from the Beresford, a prewar co-op on Central Park West, where she and Tony had owned a four-bedroom park-facing unit.
She sold that property for US$17.9 million (A$28.4 million) in 2007, three years after Tony’s death.
A former Broadway actor, Heather later became president of the board of the New York Theatre Workshop, the downtown nonprofit that helped launch the careers of playwright Tony Kushner and “Rent” creator Jonathan Larson.
She also presides over a nonprofit established by Tony Randall in the early 1980s to support small regional theatres.
Tony Randall starred in the 1970s award-winning television comedy “The Odd Couple.” He and Heather married in 1995, with then-Mayor Rudy Giuliani officiating. Tony died in 2004 at age 84.
