Artist Chuck Close and his wife Leslie have paid $5.95 million for a ninth-floor apartment at 48 Bond Street, the 11-story Noho building designed by Deborah Berke. The three-bedroom, full-floor pad features an eat-in kitchen, walnut floors, library, and 800-square-foot terrace. (Close also owns a 2,500-square foot apartment at 20 Bond.)
