A 20,000-square-foot townhouse located in the heart of NYC has become the most expensive townhouse sold in the city, going for $80 million. The house is equipped with seven bedrooms, a cinema, library, recording studio, a 23-foot-long swimming pool as well as a sauna and a panic room in case of an emergency situation. The house is owned by billionaire New York native Vincent Viola, who also owns the NHL’s Florida Panthers. Once the house has been officially sold for $80 million, the current owner will make a $60 million profit from the $20 million price he paid for the townhouse in 2005.
