It’s a luxe triplex penthouse with its own roof terrace — and despite its cinematic history, you don’t need superpowers to own it.

This one-bedroom spread in Tudor City, which is up for sale for $1.99 million, features 15-foot-high casement windows and appeared in all three “Spider-Man” films as the home of the Green Goblin, Spider-Man’s sworn nemesis.

Multi-award-winning actor Willem Dafoe played the villain in the movies, with Tobey Maguire starring as Spider-Man. And the penthouse, too, had a starring role in the flicks, which hit silver screens between 2002 and 2007.

Beyond those 15-foot windows, the great room has 18-foot ceilings and looks out to views of the Midtown skyline. There’s also an oversized fireplace that dates to the 1920s and recently refinished herringbone floors.

A wrap staircase with hand-painted cast-iron rails connects the levels. The penthouse’s second floor has a renovated kitchen and a dining space that overlooks the great room, as well as the bedroom, which has two walk-in closets. The third floor is home to the nearly 300-square-foot private terrace, with space for tables and seating.

Even though this unit alone served as Willem Dafoe's home in his role as the Green Goblin, the building overall has appeared in several other films.

More than just this unit, the 5 Tudor City Pl. building overall — which is also known as Windsor Tower — has made several other on-screen appearances. Jason Bourne, played by Matt Damon, jumped off the building’s roof into the East River in the final scene of “The Bourne Ultimatum.” “Scarface” was shot just outside of the lobby and, in “The Godfather: Part III,” Michael Corleone ate breakfast on the terrace of an adjacent penthouse unit.
