Nestled atop 1120 Fifth Avenue in Carnegie Hill, this two-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom residence served as the couple’s romantic retreat for decades.
The sale is being handled by the couple’s children on behalf of Woodward, 94, who was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease in 2007.
Newman and Woodward were married for 50 years before his passing in 2008 at the age of 83.
Designed by J.E.R. Carpenter in 1925, the penthouse epitomises the sophistication of pre-war Manhattan architecture.
