Inside Thierry Henry's $25m glass-and-garden penthouse in New York sky

Thierry Henry, the renowned French footballer, has put his New York penthouse up for sale, asking $25 million (Dh 91.81 million). The property was initially purchased by the football legend and his partner Andrea Rajacic for $15 million (Dh 55.08 million) in 2010. Henry, who currently has a net worth of $130 million (Dh 477.42 million), bought the nearly 6,000 square foot property after a day of house-hunting, playing for the New York Red Bulls at the time.

The 14,000 square foot duplex boasts a striking mix of glass, open space and greenery. Floor-to-ceiling windows display the New York skyline, while the minimalist furniture maintains an open, uncluttered ambiance. The extensive terraces, with verdant trees and plants, offer an oasis of tranquility amidst the urban landscape.

Henry's outdoor space, complete with a pergola, barbecue and lounge area, creates a unique indoor-outdoor connection. The rooftop garden provides panoramic views of the Brooklyn and Williamsburg bridges, offering a rare contrast to the city's typical concrete and steel architecture. The property also includes a bedroom, kitchen, and living area, all utilizing the height and glass walls to create a bright, airy setting.
