These wild AirBnbs will have you wishing for a vacation

High above Lower Manhattan , a Tribeca penthouse that swaps elevators for a far more playful ride is searching for its next owner. The sprawling residence atop the landmarked building at 150 Nassau St.

has hit the market for $20 million, according to an eye-catching StreetEasy update, and its most attention-grabbing feature isn’t the sweeping skyline views or the size of the apartment.The home is drawing attention for its most unusual feature: a four-story stainless-steel spiral slide that runs through the apartment.Instead, it’s a gleaming four-story stainless-steel slide that spirals through the center of the home, offering a quick descent between floors. A $30M mint-condition NYC residence lists for the first time ever — complete with 'His' and 'Hers' living roomsNick Gavin, who hold the listing with Compass, says a ride down is all but mandatory for when visitors arrive. The unusual residence occupies the copper-clad crown of the historic building and spans roughly 6,400 square feet, with four bedrooms arranged across multiple levels. Dramatic windows and terraces frame panoramic views of Lower Manhattan, including sightlines toward the nearby Woolworth Building.It was transformed from a raw space after its owners, tech executives Craig and Kirsten Nevill-Manning, purchased it for about $6.45 million in 2007.The property, sometimes referred to as “Sky House,” was created after tech entrepreneur Craig Nevill-Manning and his wife, Kirsten Nevill-Manning, purchased the raw space for about $6.45 million in 2007, according to the Journal. What they initially acquired was essentially an unfinished shell within the top of the building. Over time, they transformed it into a highly customized residence designed to blur the lines between architecture, art and play. To bring the vision to life, the couple hired architect David Hotson and interior designer Ghislaine Viñas, who developed a design that takes advantage of the building’s dramatic vertical volume. Rather than divide the home into traditional stacked floors, the team created a layered interior connected by staircases, glass bridges and open spaces that allow light to travel throughout the apartment. “It’s not often that you have a client that is leading with such a dazzling idea,” Hotson told the Journal. “It was pretty irresistible.”Designed by architect David Hotson with interiors by Ghislaine Viñas, the multi-level residence blends playful elements, like the slide, a rope swing, rock-climbing column and hidden ladders.While the quirky layout may not suit every buyer, the listing agent hopes it will appeal to someone who sees the property as a livable work of art rather than a typical luxury apartment.The polished metal slide became the centerpiece of the design. Positioned in the middle of the home, it winds down through multiple levels like a sculptural installation while also serving as a functional shortcut. The playful element quickly became the defining feature of the property, offering a whimsical contrast to the sleek modern architecture surrounding it. Other unconventional touches were incorporated throughout the apartment. The owners added features such as climbing elements and ladders that connect levels in unexpected ways, reinforcing the home’s sense of movement and exploration. The result is a residence that feels almost like a vertical playground tucked inside a luxury penthouse.The upper portion of the apartment includes expansive living and entertaining areas positioned beneath the copper dome. Large windows and terraces bring in natural light and provide sweeping views across the city skyline. The home’s dramatic layout also allows for striking vantage points within the interior. Walkways and balconies overlook lower levels, creating a sense of openness rarely found in Manhattan apartments. The vertical design highlights the height of the space and emphasizes the architectural structure of the building itself. Because of its bold and unconventional design, the penthouse may appeal to buyers looking for something beyond the typical luxury condominium. “We’re looking for someone who really looks at the apartment as a work of art,” Gavin said. “I think someone who is a collector would have a real appreciation for it.”Trump warns US will strike Iran with ‘force that has never been seen before’ if regime carries out ‘devastating’ attack A $30M mint-condition NYC residence lists for the first time ever -- complete with 'His' and 'Hers' living rooms‘The Bride!’ review: Jessie Buckley’s latest is one of the worst movies I’ve seen in this jobMike Brown's Knicks Starting To Jell Just In Time | Back Page BanterThe home is drawing attention for its most unusual feature: a four-story stainless-steel spiral slide that runs through the apartment.It was transformed from a raw space after its owners, tech executives Craig and Kirsten Nevill-Manning, purchased it for about $6.45 million in 2007.Designed by architect David Hotson with interiors by Ghislaine Viñas, the multi-level residence blends playful elements, like the slide, a rope swing, rock-climbing column and hidden ladders.While the quirky layout may not suit every buyer, the listing agent hopes it will appeal to someone who sees the property as a livable work of art rather than a typical luxury apartment.
