Bobby Abreu in NYC, Estate of the Day
Baseball player Bobby Abreu has had his apartment in One Beacon Court in New York City listed since last March but since it seems like Abreu might be soon leaving New York for the West Coast (both the Dodgers and the As have expressed interest) we thought it might be time to give him a little sales help. One Beacon Court has seen big baseball sales before, Johnny Damon had an apartment here, selling a 2,410 square foot apartment for around $8 million. But that was in 2007. Abreu's apartment is a two bedroom with a large living room and dining room and a master bath with a soaking tub. You'd be buying this one for the views more than anything else although all the finishes are as luxurious as you would expect. Abreu has had this place on the market for $7.9 million without a price cut. Back in March, Big Time Listings reported that Abreu paid $3.5 million for the property in 2005, so it seems he could lop a bit off the price and still make a profit. It seems like it's time to do so.
UPDATE: This home is listed at $5.9 million.

I love NYC and I love the lofts.

I cannot imagine paying even the sale price of 7.9 million for this "room with a view." I have 2,400 sq. ft.with all the amenities on a half-acre wooded lot in an "association" residential area, all for a mere $350,000.

The views are spectacular! The galley kitchen for a NYC apartment looks state of the art to me! Of course, warming it up a bit and making feel more "homey" with a little more texture and color, might make the asking price feel more inviting.
