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.

The kitchen, living and great rooms are situated on the second level, while the bedroom suites, den and laundry occupy the private lower level.

The home’s expansive great room, complete with a double-sided, marble-wrapped gas fireplace, opens onto a wraparound terrace with elegant steel-framed French doors that offer a spectacular view of the building’s signature landmarked turrets.

Located in the heart of the coveted Upper West Side, 555 West End Avenue offers residents access to world-class dining and cultural attractions as well as the peaceful respite of a quiet, tree-lined street.

The boutique condominium is moments from two of the City’s most desirable green spaces, Riverside Park and Central Park, and places residents in close proximity to the Henry Hudson Parkway, creating an easy getaway to upstate New York and Connecticut. An established and exclusive neighborhood, the surrounding area is home to some of the city’s most prestigious secondary schools, in addition to Columbia University and Fordham University, and directly across town from the Upper East Side’s most acclaimed schools.

With its combination of original architectural details and spacious floorplans that feel like private homes, 555 West End Avenue has become one of New York City’s most sought-after residential addresses. There are only five homes remaining and the development is available for immediate occupancy.

A quick elevator ride away, residents will have access not only to the tower's amenities, but also to the Rockwell Group-designed Waterline Club, which has more than 100,000 square feet of best-in-class sports, leisure and lifestyle spaces like an indoor tennis court, half pipe skate park, basketball court, music room, two pools, children's rooms, pet spaces and more. A porte-cochere arrival provides the perfect entrance, and a nearly three-acre park designed by Mathews Nielsen Landscape Architects is located just outside. Cipriani's first-ever food market is located on the ground floor of the building, and Alex Stupak's Empellon will be just steps away at Three Waterline Square.

Waterline Square plays a critical role in completing the original Riverside Master Plan, which was designed to transform 77 acres of prime waterfront land along Manhattan’s Hudson River into a premier residential neighborhood. The five-acre, three-tower mega-development represents one of the last remaining waterfront development sites to be completed on Manhattan's Upper West Side.
