This $7M NYC penthouse’s terrace is bigger than your apartment

This West Village penthouse asking $6.99 million comes with a wrap terrace — bigger than a nine-room apartment in the city — that has hosted star-studded parties for guests including Hillary Clinton, Mike Bloomberg, Alicia Silverstone and writer Noa Tishby.

The seller is entrepreneur/investor Ari Ackerman, a partner and board member in the Derek Jeter-led group that bought the Miami Marlins in 2017. Ackerman bought the 11th-floor penthouse at 65 W. 13th St., for $2.7 million in 2004 — long before his 2016 marriage to Lauren Boxer. The family, we hear, is moving to bigger digs uptown.

Ackerman is the grandson of the late American-Israeli financier Meshulam Riklis, who was once married to Pia Zadora, was close to former Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and at one point had more than $1 billion in assets.

Ackerman’s late mother, Mona Riklis Ackerman, was a clinical psychologist who penned a column, “Dr. Mona Knows,” for the Huffington Post.

The three-bedroom, 2½-bath home at the Greenwich is 2,223 square feet and comes with a sprawling 2,737-square-foot terrace. Past residents of the building include comedian/TV personality Jon Stewart, who sold his penthouse to fashion designer Michael Kors.

The Ackerman home opens to a grand entrance gallery that leads to a main living/dining area with high ceilings, a fireplace, hardwood floors and stunning views from One World Trade to Hudson Yards. There’s also an open chef’s kitchen, a laundry room and a main bedroom with access to the terrace. The wood-paneled main bedroom comes with two walk-in closets and an ensuite bath. Design details include hardwood floors, custom built-ins, floor-to-ceiling windows and surround sound.

The Greenwich was built in 1906 and converted to condos in 2001. Ackerman was the founder and CEO of Bunk1, which parents use to communicate with their kids at summer camp. He sold it to Aquiline Capital Partners in 2017, the year he invested in the Marlins.

The listing brokers are Sabrina Kleier Morgenstern, Samantha Kleier Forbes and Michele Kleier of Kleier Residential.
