The Upper West Side residence combines two units, one of which was previously owned by McEnroe.
The seven-time Grand Slam champion sold his Upper West Side co-op back in 2013 for a cool $3,808,800, and since then, the apartment has been extensively renovated and expanded into a four-bed, four-bath combo unit.
Highlights include a cozy library with floor-to-ceiling bookshelves, a living room offering views of Central Park, and a state-of-the-art kitchen.
The apartment is also accessed via a semi-private elevator.
In terms of the bedroom configurations, the primary suite occupies its own wing and is complete with an en suite bathroom, while a second bedroom – also with en suite bath – overlooks the park.
Bedrooms three and four face a leafy section of West 82nd Street and are served by a generous hall bath.
For budding pianists, the living room walls have been soundproofed and the space features ‘cutting-edge noise-limiting’ windows, according to the listing.
Commenting on the property offering, realtor Daniel Douglas, of The Corcoran Group, who holds the listing with Eileen LaMorte, says it offers ‘grand but livable spaces’ and ‘any bigger would be too much.’

The New York apartment marks one of McEnroe’s many property acquisitions.
The Hall-of-Fame tennis player, who became well-known for his outbursts on the court, has also made his mark as a successful real estate mogul along with his wife, singer-songwriter Patty Smyth.
Together the couple have owned a collection of properties since they got married in 1997.
Most recently, the couple offloaded their longtime home in Malibu, California, for a whopping $29 million.
The estate was tucked within the guard-gated Malibu Colony community and was originally built in the 1930s.
Prior to that, the couple has a house in the Hamptons they sold in 2017.
