The Tribeca penthouse that served as the primary residence of fictional hedge fund mogul Bobby Axelrod in Showtime's "Billions" has been listed on the market. Located in the Sky Lofts Condominium, the residence where Damian Lewis's character lived after his divorce in seasons three to five is being offered for $59.5 million. The property was originally designed by architect James Carpenter and later extensively renovated by PH Design, giving it its current form. This property is considered one of the most distinctive filming locations of the successful series.
With 7,493 square feet of living space and a 4,500 square foot wrap-around terrace, the apartment offers an exclusive living experience. High ceilings and generous glass surfaces characterise the interior, complemented by three wood-burning fireplaces, a double-height library and a state-of-the-art chef's kitchen. Adam Modlin of The Modlin Group is responsible for the marketing.
Features and Design
A private, key-secured lift opens directly into an impressive, double-height great room. Here, 18-foot ceilings and museum-quality, floor-to-ceiling glazing frame unobstructed views of One World Trade Centre. An imposing, two-storey fireplace crafted from stained oak and silver travertine forms a striking focal point, while large sliding glass walls connect almost every room to the expansive terrace, which overlooks the Hudson River and Lower Manhattan.
Adjoining the great room is a den, offering a more intimate seating area around a second travertine fireplace. Low-slung sofas and sculptural wooden chairs are grouped around a stone coffee table, with open passageways on both sides providing ample natural light. The formal dining room, located behind the den, houses a solid wood dining table surrounded by elegant black chairs. A large mixed-media installation serves as a partial room divider, and a wall of perforated brass panels adds another layer of texture.
The eat-in kitchen continues the home's warm colour palette, featuring stained oak cabinetry, sleek brass hardware, and Italian silver travertine as a backsplash. Stoneglass countertops form an L-shaped island with an extended breakfast bar, while professional Gaggenau appliances are seamlessly integrated into the surrounding cabinetry. On the main level, there are also two entertainment areas: a games room with a billiards table and a double-height library that also serves as a media room. A sculptural steel staircase with Starphire glass railings connects the levels, preserving the openness and city views.
Private Suites and Outdoor Areas
The sculptural staircase leads to the sleeping quarters, where the main suite occupies a glass-enclosed corner with views of the river and the surrounding skyline. Floor-to-ceiling windows surround the bedroom on two sides, positioning the bed directly against the city backdrop. Dark wood flooring extends beneath a low platform bed and a small seating area; a third fireplace is integrated into the room.
The en-suite bathroom is clad throughout in horizontally veined travertine, creating a continuous stone aesthetic. A floating vanity with integrated sinks and open storage extends beneath mirrors with slim brass frames. A glazed steam shower is integrated into a raised travertine platform. A freestanding Boffi bathtub is placed directly by the windows, offering views of the river and skyscrapers. A cedar sauna completes the private wellness area within the suite.
