With 13 Emmys under its belt already and currently in its fourth and final season on Showmax, tragicomedy Succession remains one of HBO's most successful series – just check its IMDb rating.
Inspired by the Murdoch family, per CNN, Succession follows the lives of the Roy family, heirs to a global media and entertainment conglomerate known as Waystar Royco, as they squabble for dominance in the wake of their father's declining health.
The critically acclaimed series is filmed mostly in New York, where the rival factions of the lead family live in opulent penthouses on either side of Central Park. Therefore, the show uses some of the world's most spectacular homes to depict the residences of its mega-rich characters.
Kendall Roy (played by Jeremy Strong) is Logan's second-oldest son and a prime to lead Waystar when Logan retires. However, he has yet to gain the full trust of his father. He lives in a three-level penthouse at the top of the tallest tower north of 72nd Street.
And guess what? The five-bedroom, 5 500-square-foot abode has just been listed for sale at $29 million (R544 million).
According to Top Ten Real Estate Deals, the apartment overlooks Central Park and features a luxe but minimalist contemporary aesthetic, with bright white walls, lots of glass, and gold trim.
A stunning spiral staircase connects the three levels, which feature soaring 13-inch ceilings. A private, glass-walled elevator offering views of Central Park provides another option for traversing the unique and beautiful space.
A total of 3 500 additional square feet of outdoor space includes a fabulous rooftop terrace with a gas fireplace, outdoor seating, spectacular city and park views, plus multiple smaller terraces.
Carefully chosen design elements include gilded chandeliers and natural brass fixtures.
The building was developed and designed by Joe McMillan's DDG in 2019. It provides additional amenities, including a fitness studio, basketball court, soccer pitch, playroom, game room, and lounge with a catering kitchen and large dining area, plus a concierge and doorman.
The primary suite features its own loggia terrace, a gas fireplace, and a luxurious bathroom with a rain shower, heated tile floors, marble counters, and a spacious dressing room.
A spectacular set-up for entertaining, the home features an open floor plan that connects a living room, dining room and great room with a gas fireplace, surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows and access to dramatic set-back terraces.
A second living room offers a wet bar, while the custom-designed Molteni & C Dada kitchen features a massive island, marble countertops, and a full suite of top-of-the-line Gaggenau appliances. A den offers additional lounging space or room for a home office.
The estate is located on Manhattan's Upper East Side in the Carnegie Hill neighbourhood. Named for Andrew Carnegie's Fifth Avenue mansion that is now the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum, the region comprises upscale residential space and several prominent museums, including the world-famous Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Guggenheim Museum.
Prized for its "neighbourhood feel" and good schools, including some of the most coveted public schools in New York City, it borders Central Park and is only a quick subway or taxi ride from everything Manhattan has to offer.
Celebrities who have called the area home include Bette Midler, Katie Couric and Woody Allen.
