Remember that penthouse with the custom-built slide that we first spotted in March 2011 in Ben Shaoul's pool-topped A-Building?
How could you forget?!
Phil Galfond, a professional poker player, owned this place on East 13th Street between Avenue A and First Avenue and put it on the market.
We've lost track out this place... until Curbed noted the other day that the unit is back on the market — without the slide.
Per Curbed:
And evidently, slide removal increases a condo's value by $1.1 million because the unit just returned to market for $5.45 million. The one-time fun house sold to a software millionaire for $3.3 million in 2012...
No word on what the owner did with the slide.
So we never forget...
Or maybe we should...

Just your everyday penthouse combo connected by a stainless steel slide

I do not understand this sliding logic.....is it that rich folks don't like ANYthing that goes down?
This place is worthless without the slide!
$5.45 for a unit in a building famous for its flooding/mold issues, construction troubles, and money mismanagement. Is that why the unit flips every two years?
