Alan B. Slifka #3

The listing held by Warburg Realty’s Bonnie Chajet for the five-bedroom, 4,000 square-foot co-op is curiously reticent, seemingly making the bold—albeit quiet—suggestion that the property needs little in the way of introduction. Fully-renovated, with gleaming tile and stainless steel in the eat-in kitchen, the apartment is spare and serene, with clean lines and high ceilings, crossed with broad white beams. There are herringbone floors and light walls, built-ins in the living room, which is graced by a fireplace, and exposures to the south and east. Big Apple Circus is headquartered—surprise!—in Brooklyn these days, at Metrotech Center, and beginning in September, they’ll be taking their talents even further south, to Dulles, Virginia. But if they can only wait until next fall, buyers David Rogers and Elizabeth Dexter might walk across the Park, to Lincoln Center, where the group will pitch their proverbial tent for a three month run. The couple will, of course, have Mr. Slifka to thank for the evening.
