T
he San Remo, a pre‑war co‑op on Central Park West, has long been a coveted Upper West Side address. Its eighth‑floor unit, once home to the late Metropolitan Opera chief James Levine, is now on the market for $10 million.

    Levine, who helmed the Met for four decades before being dismissed amid a 2017 investigation that uncovered credible evidence of sexual abuse toward young artists, died in 2021 at age 77. His widow, former oboist Suzanne E. Thomson—who married him a year before his death—has listed the property. Thomson, who cared for Levine after his firing, could not be reached for comment.

    The 4,700‑square‑foot residence boasts more than 65 feet of Central Park West frontage. Its layout includes a spacious entrance gallery, three south‑facing bedrooms with ensuite baths, and a corner living room, library, and formal dining room that all overlook the park. A large chef’s kitchen with dual pantry areas and a staff room or fourth bedroom complete the space. High ceilings, hardwood herringbone floors, original steel cabinets, and custom built‑ins add architectural character.

    The San Remo’s twin towers, erected in 1930 on the former site of the 1891 San Remo Hotel, have attracted a roster of high‑profile residents: Steve Jobs, Bono, Stephen Sondheim, Demi Moore, Mary Tyler Moore, and Diane Arbus, among others. The building’s storied past and prime location make it a sought‑after address.

    Levine’s legacy is marred by allegations that began in the 1960s, with several young men reporting abuse that started when they were teenagers. After the investigation, Levine sued for defamation and settled out of court for an estimated $3.5 million.

    The listing is handled by Catherine Harding of Compass, who did not respond to a request for comment.
