Bette Midler and her husband, Martin von Haselberg, are moving from their Upper East Side penthouse, which was listed for $50 million in September 2019.

Midler and her family have lived in the 14-bedroom home since the 1990s. Midler revealed that it was time to downsize after her daughter moved out. The 7,000-square-foot apartment is spread out over three floors in a famous Emery Roth designed building on Fifth Avenue. Besides the 14 bedrooms in the unit, there’s also a private elevator which opens to a large, spacious gallery.

The 70-foot entertaining space has high ceilings and features a dining area, living room, and renovated eat-in kitchen with custom wood cabinetry, marble countertops, and high-end appliances. The office and guest bathroom are also located on the main floor.

The bedrooms are located on the second level. Two of the bedrooms have views of Central Park and include large bathrooms and dressing areas. The master suite has oversized windows, a study, and a wood-burning fireplace. There are also three more bedrooms on this floor as well as a large family room and a laundry room.

The top floor features a deluxe library with 13-foot ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace, floor-to-ceiling bookcases, and oversized windows with views of Central Park and Reservoir. A full bathroom is also located on this floor.

There’s an additional 3,000 square feet of outdoor space with multiple terraces and a rooftop with a 900-square-foot garden and 360-degree views.

The home was remodeled by Frederick Fisher and Partners Architects, decorated with Fernando Santangelo, and landscaped by Sawyer.

As the #1 selling real estate broker in North America for an unprecedented eight times, Dolly Lenz is responsible for achievements such as the sale of the Setai development site at 400 Fifth Avenue for over $200 million. She set a record for the highest downtown condominium sale of the One Madison penthouse for $57,350,000, representing Rupert Murdoch in the purchase; and many more. Her numerous accolades continuously place her at the top of the real estate industry in New York and the United States.

Jenny Lenz joined her mother at Dolly Lenz Real Estate and has since become the company's Managing Partner. Her passion for the business started at an early age as she was exposed to some of the most breathtaking properties in the world, accompanying her mother on business trips to Europe and Asia. Today, she is looking to continue in Dolly’s pursuit of taking on and dominating the NY and international real estate market. She has also fulfilled numerous speaking engagements at real estate conferences throughout the U.S and Australia.

The webinar was hosted by Haute Living Senior Vice President April Donelson, who asked the mother/daughter combo questions that included several from the live webinar audience.

On the use of technology for showings, Jenny said, "We've used technology in the past. It gets better every year, but we don't see that replacing in-home tours. We have amazing drone footage, which is a new thing, but it's not a differentiator." Dolly added, "It is almost impossible to sell something off a virtual tour, but it can help. We find that photography is often much better than anything else in reflecting a property."

Donelson asked Dolly for her advice to the younger generation of real estate agents coming up. "Stay the course," she said. "Know your data. Really get into the details of information. The only way you can get credit with any buyer is if you know the details."

Jenny added, "We all have time now to learn every new development. Everything is online. If a client knows something you don't, that's bad."

They are optimistic about the near future of the real estate industry. "We are fortunate to be in this business that can come back on a short term basis," said Dolly.

The Woolworth Tower Residences, developed by Alchemy Properties, are 33 loft-like condominiums that encompass floors 29 to 58 of the iconic, landmarked Woolworth Building—originally designed by Cass Gilbert in 1913 as a commission from retail magnate F.W. Woolworth. The residences are reimagined with exquisite finishes designed by Thierry Despont, who is known for his work on the restoration of the Statue of Liberty and makeover of the Ritz Paris Hotel and Carlyle Hotel. Alchemy Properties has paid homage to Frank Woolworth by restoring original details to reflect the building's glory days, including a $22M restoration of the striking terracotta facade, while simultaneously updating residences with modern-day conveniences; including a coffered ceiling that was restored and relocated from Frank W. Woolworth's private office. Additional amenities include the Gilbert Lounge and entertaining area, a wine cellar and tasting room, modern fitness center and fifty-foot lap pool.

On Madison Square Park, just north of the iconic Flatiron Building, 212 Fifth Avenue was originally constructed as a textile manufacturing building in 1912. Today, the lavish condominium building features gracious layouts and oversized windows that flood the residences with light and offer exceptional views of the Manhattan skyline and Madison Square Park. Designers Pembrooke & Ives and David Helpern fused pre-war design and contemporary features into the residences, including marble entry foyers, gallery hallways, loft-like living rooms, open kitchens with custom ash mill-work, Calacatta marble counters and top-of-the-line Gaggenau appliances.

Sheindlin and her husband Jerry — also a real-life-turned-television judge — bought the unit three years for $6,750,000. Maintenance charges for the posh apartment are an astounding $17,411 per month, but that’s not entirely unfathomable for a building where the priciest apartment is currently listed for $95 million.
