The Penthouse unit that you speak of used to belong to Frank Perdue the chicken farmer. When he died several years ago his wife was trying to sell it, it came with a luxury mini van to transport his guests around town. Do you happen to know if it sold, and for how much?
It truly was amazing. I'm glad we had a chance to see it in person before it sold. There was nothing anywhere in Ocean City like it (and I'll bet there still isn't).
Interesting fact, originally there was suppose to be multiple Pyramid buildings of various heights all connected by a massive concrete deck on the oceanside, like a village- somewhere online there is an artists rendering of the initial concept, pretty wild looking. The Penthouse that Perdue bought was originally built/designed/sold to a Baltimore real estate brokerage owner, Marybell Grempler, who founded Grempler Realty. Many Baltimore Realtors from back in the 70s and 80s still talk of the extravagant parties held in that unit especially when the annual Maryland Real Estate convention was in town at the convention center!
That's a fact I didn't know.... multiple buildings!? Now I'm going to spend the day looking for that picture! :) Now that you mention it, I think I have an old photo of my father and a bunch of other Agents at one of those MRE gatherings in the penthouse foyer. I'll have to go look to see if I can find it!

Kevin, yes you are correct. And Mitzi did sell the condo in 2008 for $1.8+M. It was one of the coolest condo's I'd been in anywhere in OC.
There is a video on TH-cam that Mrs. Purdue showed about their penthouse when she was trying to sell it. It is amazing inside.
