Matt Lauer’s Manhattan pad sells at top dollar

Matt Lauer is the worst of my fellows to drop from the #metoo movement. But he still has gorg real estate to sell.

At more than 28-feet-long with dark, coffee-colored hardwood floors and chunky coved ceiling moldings, the graciously proportioned living room highlights a delicate, carved stone antique fireplace opposite a trio of deeply set sash windows. Perfectly aligned double doors open one end of the room to a carpeted library and the other to a formal dining room snazzily wrapped in snappy, teal-colored Chinoiserie-style wall covering while the service areas incorporate a sleekly equipped up-to-date if not especially spacious kitchen, an adjoining breakfast room, and a laundry room/home office. Two ample guest bedrooms have private, windowed bathrooms while the sprawling master suite comprises a gentleman’s study easily converted to a third en suite guest bedroom, a bedroom lined entirely in butterscotch velvet wall panels, two bedroom-sized dressing rooms, and two lavishly outfitted if perfectly average-sized marble bathrooms.

Location: New York City, N.Y.
Price: above $7.35 million
Size: (approx.) 3,500 square feet, 3-4 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms
