Clocktower Penthouse Is Brooklyn's Most Expensive Home

Brooklyns $25 Million Clocktower Penthouse

This triplex penthouse apartment in Brooklyn could become the borough's most expensive residential sale ever (by more than double) if it goes for its asking price of $25 million. The draw is its position in a clock tower.

Fourteen-foot tall clock faces on each of the main floor's walls provide unparalleled views of new York City.

Of course, floor-to-ceiling windows unobstructed by ticking clock hands also offer views of five bridges and the Manhattan skyline.

The penthouse consists of three floors, connected by a winding staircase and a glass elevator. The first is 3,000-square-feet, the second is 2,300-square-feet and the third floor loft is 988-square-feet.

Behind the old-fashioned clock faces are ultra-modern furnishings and bathroom fixtures.

Each ascending floor toward the top of the clock tower becomes narrower.

The building is officially called One Main Street, or the ClockTower Building, but no one would get lost if you told them, "I live in the clock tower."
