A guy can dream, can't he?
The Upper East Side mansion seized from former Penthouse magazine publisher Bob Guccione has been sold by his creditors for a very sexy price.
According to city transfer records, the 27-room townhouse on East 67th Street, between Fifth and Madison avenues, has just sold for $49 million to Wall Street financier Philip Falcone.
The sprawling 22,000-square- foot, double-wide vintage home has every possible amenity that Guccione could imagine, including a massive full-floor master bedroom with a study, solarium and private terrace, an indoor pool, a theater, wine cellar, "dance" room, garden with greenhouse, sauna, and servants' quarters.
Also featured are 11 bathrooms, four additional bedroom suites, large public rooms with high ceilings, eight fireplaces and an elevator.
Zounds -- 27 rooms and 22,000 square feet. but I'd probably just live in the kitchen, bathroom and one corner of the living room big enough for a computer and TV. The rest of the space seems about right to hold all the stuff I now have crammed into my 2,000-square-footer.

Somehow, it seems lacking in something.
I know! It needs a sign by the doorbell reading, "Si Non Oscillas, Noli Tintinnare"
When a reporter went to Ike & Tina Turner's new digs, the reporter remarked that she'd have never believed that you could decorate a place by spending $300,000 at Woolworth.
I guess a "double wide" on the Upper East Side is just a tad nicer than one here in Indiana, with more space to boot!
Leo.."all the stuff I now have crammed into my 2,000-square-footer."
How much space is devoted to your Penthouse Collection in that 2,000 square-footer?
Good for you Philip & Lisa! With your exquisite taste I'm sure it will be just as fabulous as the mansion you now live in, only twice the size. (One can never have too much living space!!)
