The Most Expensive Condo in RI
Tuesday, May 11, 2010
If a view of the ocean, no lawn maintenance and a $92,000 monthly mortgage payment are on your "must have" condo shopping list, you are in luck.
The most expensive condo currently listed on the Rhode Island MLS is a 4-bedroom, 5.5-bathroom luxury penthouse located on 1 Carnegie Harbor Drive in Portsmouth. With a rooftop hot tub, gorgeous views of Narragansett Bay and a stable for your horse, this is certainly a one-of-a-kind condominium. Horse not included, the asking price is currently $14,500,000.
The penthouse is at the top of the 22-story Carnegie Abbey Tower, which opened in June 2009. The tower, which was built on the site of the abandoned Kaiser Aluminum factory, has a total of 79 condominiums.
The two-story 6,735 sq.ft. penthouse for sale has breathtaking 360-degree views of Narragansett Bay and Aquidneck Island.
The outdoor living associated with the penthouse is equally stunning. Coming home to a 1,700 sq. ft. of outdoor space, four private balconies, an enclosed rooftop observatory, two outdoor terraces, a rooftop garden and a 10-person jacuzzi makes this not only the priciest condo in Rhode Island, but the most unique.
State-of-the-art media and electronics, fireplaces, Brazilian Cherry hardwood floors, French limestone kitchen floors and natural stone throughout the master baths are just a few of the seemingly endless list of appointments included in this property.
If this condo is in your price range, it certainly would not require you to vacation anywhere else. At ground level are the Carnegie Abbey Club with a Scottish Links-style 18-hole waterfront golf course, a yacht club with 41 slips for boats up to 75 feet, swimming pools, tennis, a European spa, an equestrian center, concierge and certified master chef. Club membership is included in the $14,500,00 asking price.
Who would ever want to leave this home?
