Penthouse of late novelist Tom Clancy lists in Baltimore at $12 million

A penthouse that was owned by the late novelist Tom Clancy is for sale in Baltimore at $12 million.

The 11,959-square-foot condominium was created by combining four units at the Ritz-Carlton Residences. Six terraces extend the living space outdoors. Views take in the cityscape and harbor area.

Five bedrooms, a gym and a home theater are among the mostly white-on-white interior spaces. The study is outfitted with built-in bookshelves.

There are three parking spots with the penthouse.

Building amenities include a doorman, concierge service and valet parking.

Clancy, who died two years ago at 66, was born in Baltimore and sold insurance before trying his hand at writing. Several of his techno-thrillers were made into films including his debut novel, “The Hunt for Red October.” He wrote 17 best-sellers and owned a minority share on the Baltimore Orioles.

Clancy and his wife, Alexandra, bought three units making up the penthouse in 2009 for $12.6 million and acquired three more in 2010. Two of those units were maintained as rentals and are not being offered for sale.

Shawn Breck, Tyler Garrison and Laura Bednash of TTR Sotheby’s International Realty are the listing agents.
