Lawyerly Lairs: A Biglaw Partner’s $12 Million Home — With Amazing Central Park Views

This is quite the trophy property.

A gracious layout — and not how the apartment has always been, as Kathy Prounis told the Times:

The old layout “used to be one big square,” said Ms. Prounis, a professional designer who oversaw the home’s gut renovation, adding that “nothing was symmetrical — nothing really made sense.”

In the new design, she said, nearly every room flows from the gallery and can be closed off for privacy with pocket doors. Most rooms have glass transoms for added light and hidden-away flat-screen TVs, included in the purchase. The new design also features extra storage and built-ins. Fersa hardware was used in many of the rooms.

Othon Prounis said that he and his wife will miss being so close to Central Park: “We really got to enjoy the change of seasons, and we got great sunsets.”

But don’t feel too bad for the Prounises. Their next lawyerly lair might not be as lavish, but it will surely be quite nice.
