A
Manhattan penthouse once owned by Hollywood legends Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward is now on the market for $9.95 million. Located in the prestigious 1120 Fifth Avenue co-op, this romantic hideaway offers breathtaking views of Central Park's Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir.

    The property has been off the market for four decades, with its last sale occurring before Newman's death in 2008. His daughters are handling the current sale on behalf of their mother, who lives a quiet life in Westport, Connecticut, due to Alzheimer's diagnosis in 2007.

    Purchased in the early 1980s, this nearly 3,000-square-foot apartment occupies half the top floor of the 15-story limestone building. With two bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and two expansive terraces totaling 2,300 square feet, it's an entertainer's dream come true.

    The couple would often spend weeks at a time in this pied-à-terre, attending theater performances, opera nights, or dinner parties with friends like Tom Cruise and Cher. The apartment features elegant proportions, built-in bookshelves, and prewar design elements such as 11-foot ceilings, herringbone wood floors, and a woodburning fireplace.

    Douglas Elliman broker Noble Black notes that the space still reflects the couple's style from the 1980s, with minimal updates since their purchase. However, there is flexibility for potential buyers to put their own stamp on the property.

    The penthouse boasts stunning cityscape views from its east-facing wraparound terrace and breathtaking Central Park vistas from its west-facing terrace. The primary bedroom suite features two large walk-in closets, a hand-painted tile bathroom, and a soaking tub.

    This Manhattan oasis holds decades of memories for Newman's daughters, who often joined their parents in the city for family dinners and New Year's Eve fireworks. While much of the couple's personal belongings have been removed or auctioned off, a few items remain as a testament to their legacy.
