Where else would suit a rocker like Bon Jovi than this stunning SoHo, New York, penthouse with panoramic views, wall-to-wall windows and modern features?
At the top of the New Museum Building in New York City, is the famous abode of rock star, Jon Bon Jovi. The musician first bought the 7,452-square-feet duplex penthouse with 11-feet-high ceilings, in 2007 for $24 million. Soon after, Bon Jovi renovated the property into an ultra-modern condo.
When it was first listed in March 2013, the residence received lukewarm reception due to the steep asking price of $42 million -- almost double of what he spent -- and it was immediately taken off the market. In April 2013, the home was listed for a second time, dropping the price to $39 million, but failed to sell once again.
The two-level home features two master bedroom suites, two chef’s kitchen, six bedrooms and six baths and three terraces. The Wanted Dead or Alive singer has now changed real estate agents and lowered the amount to a listed price of $37.5 million, furnished.
Is third time the lucky charm in selling this rocker penthouse? Check the listing and details here.

Family room
This suite may have a masculine feel, but decor accessories like the black-framed mirror above the wood-burning fireplace, and pop of art give a contemporary feel and splash of colour back to the room.

Chef's kitchen
One of two -- yes two! -- chef's kitchens, equipped with dark cabinetry and a built-in wine cooler, high-end appliances and deep sink. The chocolate brown cabinets provide a great contrast against the neutral walls, while an oversized window brightens up this first floor kitchen.

Lavish ensuite
Can we say marble? From floor tiles to the double vanity and walk-in shower, everything is marble in this all white master bathroom. Also, tilt vanity mirrors and sconces, with exposed piping, turns this bathroom from ordinary to modern-industrial.

Children's bedroom
Here's a children's bedroom that can also act as a kid's playroom. Following its own scheme, it's by far the most colourful space in the house. With small tables for crafts or homework, a built-in shelf for books, the fully carpeted room also has extra storage thanks to the tall corner cabinet.
