Take a look inside the world's tallest residence.

The world's tallest, most expensive residence is no longer a record-holder in the price department after a hefty cut, but one thing's for sure: It's definitely still the tallest home in the world.

We're talking about the penthouse, aptly nicknamed The One Above All Else, in New York City's Central Park Tower, a luxury skyscraper on Billionaires' Row.

The triplex first hit the market in September 2022, listing for $250 million. If it sold at that price, it would've become the priciest home sale in US history, overtaking Citadel CEO Ken Griffin's purchase of a $238 million penthouse at Central Park South, also in New York, in 2019.

But after a year on the market without any bites, the penthouse in Central Park Tower saw its price slashed to $195 million, and it could no longer claim the record if it sold at that price.

Its height, of course, remains unchanged: At 1,416 feet above the city, it's the world's tallest residence, occupying floors 129 to 131.

On the 129th floor, you'll find a 1,500-square-foot grand salon (pictured here), library, media room, guest and staff bedrooms, observatory, and private reception gallery.

On the middle floor are most of the bedrooms, as well as a gaming lounge and multiple dressing rooms.

The 131th floor has a massive private ballroom of nearly 2,000 square feet, in addition to a study, storage spaces, private gym, catering kitchen, and the terrace. This the highest ballroom and highest terrace in the world. Link to Source
