Nicole Kidman's new home

Nicole Kidman and husband Keith Urban have reportedly splashed out $10m on a luxurious “drive-in” Manhattan apartment.

The couple’s new pad in Chelsea has access to the building’s “Sky Garage”, an automatic car lift, which will allow them to take their motor all the way up to their apartment.

The building, which has stunning views of the Hudson River, is the first in New York City to feature the unique facility.

The three-bedroom penthouse apartment reportedly measures 3,248sq-ft and comes with two terraces, a double-height Great Room, and a sprawling master suite.

The apartment was originally listed at $12.5m.

Kidman, 43, and Urban, 42, live most of the year in Nashville, Tennessee, but also have homes in Australia and Los Angeles.

Don't some buildings downtown have similar garage lifts?

Nicole Kidman and husband Keith Urban have splashed out $10million on a luxurious Manhattan penthouse apartment, into which they can drive their car.
Kidman and Urban's new pad in Chelsea comes with an 'en suite Sky Garage', a car elevator that will let them take their limo all the way up to the 6th floor, according to the New York Post.
The building, which has stunning Hudson River views, is the first in New York City to get the feature.

The building, which faces the Hudson River, has a 16-story tower, 82 ft x 42 ft in plan, sitting on a three-story plinth, 99 ft x 75 ft in plan.
The garage and car lift are 45 ft long and project 8 ft from the back east-facing wall.
Each typical duplex takes up half of either the north or south footprint.
Units are staggered vertically, with the kitchen and living space of one adjacent to bedroom space of another.

Quote:

The 350-sq-ft garage is assigned to the apartment with the kitchen on that level, according to Marc Pittsley, project manager for Selldorf Architects.
Every duplex has access to a common hallway at both levels, which contains fire stairs and garage access.
Drivers enter the site through a gate on the west side, drive to the back of the site, turn left into the car lift, ride to the appropriate floor and back out of the lift into the garage.
When leaving, the car moves forward into the car lift.
