DR. PENTHOUSE
Some apartments have wall-to-wall carpeting. This one almost has wall-to-wall balconies with views in all directions. No wonder it stayed on the market for just 10 weeks, a broker from Halstead Property, Michael Spodek, said. "When you're out on the balcony, you have an open view south, east and north," he said. This penthouse takes up an entire floor. The living and dining rooms open into a handsome library. "It's fantastic for entertaining," Mr. Spodek said. When the occupants aren't entertaining, they'll be able to retire to an entirely separate bedroom wing, with a master bedroom the size of two rooms. The buyer is a physician who has several children, and the seller is a middle-aged businessman.
