The sprawling pad was home to Anne Hendricks Bass for almost four decades, the Wall Street Journal reports. Bass, who died in 2020 at the age of 78, was an art collector, philanthropist, filmmaker, investor, and the former wife of oil tycoon Sid Bass; the two married in 1965 and divorced in 1988. The home was sold by her estate.

The home comes with eight bedrooms, seven-and-a-half bathrooms, two staff rooms, and multiple entertaining areas and offices.

Views of Central Park can be had from the living room, dining room, library and one of the primary bedrooms. The living room, which measures 36 x 28 feet, also comes with five wood-burning fireplaces.

Also known as 3 East 77th Street, the building was designed by Rosario Candela and completed in 1928. The exclusive building is one of the few in NYC with its own restaurant. Additional amenities include a rooftop garden, health club and doorman.
