British musician Sting and his wife, film producer Trudie Styler, are selling their New York penthouse and it's surprisingly subdued for the hefty price tag.
The couple has listed the home, which spans across the top two levels of Manhattan's 15 Central Park West building, for the rock-star price of $US56 million ($76 million).
Originally two separate apartments that they combined, the pricey pad only has three bedrooms and five bathrooms. However, it has a huge balcony overlooking Central Park.
The couple bought the home for $US27 million in 2008, meaning they're hoping to flip it for more than double what they paid.
It has 500 square metres of floor space but that's not enough for the couple who want a larger home to accommodate their growing family, according to the Wall Street Journal.
The penthouse has custom-designed interiors by Lee F. Mindel of Shelton, Mindel & Associates, who put in an all-white chef's catering kitchen with two fridges, four ovens and three dishwashers
Separating the living and dining rooms on the lower level is an ornate gas fireplace, and around the corner is a private library and a private sauna room.
Most of the second level is taken up by the master suite, which can be accessed by elevator or the grand foyer staircase.
The master bedroom boasts oversized windows and French doors overlooking New York's skyline, two large dressing rooms, as well as an enviable bath with stunning views.
Designed by "starchitect" Robert A. M. Stern, Central Park West is an an exclusive complex, that Judy Garland, John Lennon and Yoko Ono have all lived in.
Its residents have access to a full staff, landscaped motor court, fitness centre, lap pool, steam and sauna, screening room, private restaurant, wine rooms, a library, a children's playroom and more.
The couple also own a unit at nearby 220 Central Park South, also designed by Stern.
