Take a look inside the $65 million SoHo loft that could be one of the most expensive apartments ever sold in downtown NYC

A rigorously renovated 8,000-square-foot loft in Manhattan's hip SoHo neighborhood, in the building where the actor Heath Ledger once lived before his death in 2008, is on the market for $65 million.

If sold at its asking price, the penthouse would break the record for the most expensive single residential sale in downtown Manhattan, according to The New York Times. The record is held by a penthouse in Chelsea that sold in May for $59.06 million, according to The Times.

The property, a co-listing from Corcoran and CORE Real Estate, was last sold in 2011 for $17 million, according to Curbed New York. The couple spent four years making gut renovations but ultimately decided it was too much space for them, Curbed reported.

"The penthouse at 421 Broome is truly incomparable," J. Eric Becker of Corcoran told Business Insider. "In all of my years in real estate, I have never seen such a stunning home, with incredible attention to detail and unmatched design sophistication."
