New York City apartments, because of their miniscule sizes, are often nicknamed "glorified shoeboxes". There's usually barely enough space to live comfortably in one—unless you decide to shell out $49 million, of course. If you've got that kind of cash on hand, you'll want to jump at this opportunity—a three-story luxury condo designed by the late legendary architect Zaha Hadid (inside and out) has just hit the market in the Big Apple, and it'll definitely make it to the top of your dream homes list.

With seven bedrooms and nine and a half bathrooms, this New York City condo will have you living like royalty. The apartment (if you can even call it that) is made up of two combined penthouses for a total of 11,121 square feet.

The middle level of the penthouse includes a 1,900-square foot double-corner Great Room with walls of glass (that allow incredible views), private balcony and fireplace, in addition to a separate library, media room, dual windowed eat-in kitchens, and four en-suite bedrooms. Below, the family level includes a luxurious master suite with another private balcony, dressing rooms, ample closet space, two more bedrooms, and even a wet bar. Talk about a dream!

The penthouse itself is located in a boutique private building that comes with a wellness level with a 75-foot sky lit swimming pool, fitness center, reservable private spa suite with sauna, steam room, whirlpool, cold plunge, waterfall showers and massage beds. There's even the city's first private IMAX theater and automated robotic parking.

The roof level of the penthouse includes a 3,892-square foot terrace that wraps around an interior lounge and pavilion—it's perfect for a cocktail party with 100 people, or a quiet night of relaxation. Since there's so much outdoor space on the roof level, there's even potential to install a pool or a hot tub—which, to whoever buys this insane property, you definitely should do.
