    Every Carrie Bradshaw Apartment, And What They’d Actually Cost You in 2025

    by

    For more than two decades, Sex and the City and its sequel And Just Like That… have treated viewers not just to the romances and sky-high Manolos of Carrie Bradshaw’s (Sarah Jessica Parker) world, but also to a dreamscape of New York City real estate. From a rent-controlled Upper East Side studio to a Fifth Avenue penthouse and, most recently, a four-bedroom pad in Gramercy Park, the newpaper columnist’s homes have always been as much a part of her character as her witty quips and signature curls. Here, we chart the evolution of her fictional property portfolio. (Please note that many of these are private residences; if visiting in person, be mindful not to disturb the occupants.) 

    Upper East Side Studio 

    Carrie Bradshaw’s stoop scenes were filmed at 64 and 66 Perry Street in the West Village.

    At the heart of Bradshaw’s New York story is her iconic one-bedroom brownstone apartment, a $700-a-month, rent-controlled gem located at 245 East 73rd Street that became synonymous with her character through six seasons, two films, and beyond. In reality, however, no such address exists. The apartment’s interiors were built on a soundstage at Silvercup Studios, while exterior scenes were not even filmed on the Upper East Side but, rather, downtown, on the stoops of 64 and 66 Perry Street in the West Village, which has become a popular pilgrimage site for fans worldwide.

    Her fictional $700 rent contrasts with today’s $4,000 studios at the same address.

    For the first three seasons, filming took place outside of 64 Perry Street before shifting next door to 66 Perry for the remainder of the series. Off-screen, 64 Perry (a.k.a. The George F. Coddington, Jr. House and where Project Runway host Tim Gunn once lived) last sold in November 2013 for $13.25 million, while the most recent listing at 66 Perry—a 490-square-foot studio apartment with a marble fireplace and a tiny but separate and windowed kitchen—was pulled from the market in October 2024 with a monthly rent of $4,000.

    Heaven on Fifth Penthouse 

    The exterior of Carrie and Big’s lavish penthouse was filmed at at 1010 Fifth Avenue.

    Google Earth

    Marriage to Mr. Big ushered in an opulent new chapter for Bradshaw—one marked by love, loss, and a seriously enviable address. The couple’s penthouse provided a backdrop of pre-war grandeur, sweeping park views, marble finishes, and a closet that was less walk-in and more museum. It also became the site of one of the most pivotal moments in And Just Like That: Big’s tragic heart attack after a workout session on his Peloton. 

    The interiors of the aerie were shot at the Academy Mansion on 2 East 63rd Street.

    Craig Blankenhorn/Max

    However, while the exterior of the building was filmed at 1010 Fifth Avenue, the interior of Bradshaw and Big’s penthouse was reportedly shot at the William Zeigler Mansion at 2 East 63rd Street, also known as the Academy Mansion. This historic residence, designed by architect Frederick Sterner, was originally built in 1921 for William Ziegler Jr., heir to the Royal Baking Powder Company fortune. Ziegler and his wife, Gladys, lived in the 75-foot-wide mansion for just one year before selling it in 1925.

    Later owned by Norman Bailey Woolworth in 1929, the mansion was donated to The New York Academy of Sciences in 1949. After the Academy sold the property in 2001, it was purchased in 2005 by billionaire financier Leonard Blavatnik for $31.25 million. Though Blavatnik never took up residence, the mansion has since served as a venue for special events and film productions, including Sex and the City.

    Temporary Tribeca Condo 

    Carrie’s sleek Tribeca loft was pure fiction—built entirely on a soundstage.

    Craig Blankenhorn/Max

    After Big’s sudden death in And Just Like That season one, Bradshaw copes the only way she knows how—by making a dramatic real estate move. In a grief-fueled bid for a fresh start, she snaps up a sleek, ultra-modern condo in Tribeca, a stark departure from her cozy Upper East Side brownstone. The glassy downtown loft, with sweeping Hudson River views and a persistent mystery beep, feels all wrong from day one. 

    Within 24 hours, Carrie puts the multi-million-dollar pad back on the market and retreats uptown—mail-order mattress, vintage lamp, and Big’s vinyl collection in tow. The fleeting move, driven more by emotion than logic, also spares her real estate agent, Seema Patel (Sarita Choudhury), from yet another apartment tour—and conveniently nets her a second commission. 

    The multi-million-dollar condo mirrors the real-life market where homes top $3 million.

    Craig Blankenhorn/Max

    The Tribeca condo may have charmed fans with its cinematic views and minimalist interiors, but it turns out the apartment never existed, according to the Max show’s companion podcast, And Just Like That… The Writers Room. Built on a soundstage, the fictional loft’s river views were conjured with green screens. Still, clues in the background suggest its imagined location: near Bethune and West Streets in the West Village, where average sales top $3 million, per Douglas Elliman. 

    Gramercy Park Townhouse 

    Carrie made a move to 3 Gramercy Park West in ‘And Just Like That…’ season two.

    James Devaney/GC Images

    At the conclusion of And Just Like That season two, Bradshaw makes one of her most momentous decisions yet: she sells her beloved East 73rd Street studio. (In season four of SATC, when her building converted to a co-op, Aidan purchased the studio for them as a couple, and after their breakup her best friend Charlotte famously offered her engagement ring to help Carrie buy the place on her own.)The decision to sell the apartment came after rekindling her relationship with Aidan (John Corbett)—who, haunted by the past, couldn’t even step foot inside her old place—and prompted the search for a fresh start. The result? A stunning Greek Revival townhouse at 3 Gramercy Park West. Built in 1840, Bradshaw’s newest home is dripping with historic charm. Red brick, cast iron lacework, and gracious proportions define the facade in real life, while television magic added a few more romantic flourishes, including ornate white doors and cascades of purple flowers, which you can peep in the season three trailer.  

    The Georgian-style townhouse last sold for $5 million in 2022.

    Craig Blankenhorn/Max

    In real life, the townhouse is divided into a handful of cooperative apartments. The most recent sale in the boutique building was in 2022 when the duplex penthouse sold for $5 million and there is currently a nicely updated but compact ground-floor studio listed for $900,000, a small price to pay for a private key to Gramercy Park and, Bradshaw might say, a fresh start.

      Inside Taylor Swift’s $150 Million Property Portfolio

      by

      When Taylor Swift isn’t lighting up stadiums or sparking headlines with her professional football-playing boyfriend Travis Kelce, she’s orchestrating a real estate empire that rivals even the most seasoned property moguls. The Grammy-winning songstress, who achieved billionaire status in 2023, largely thanks to the immense success of her blockbuster Eras tour, has crafted an impressive portfolio of residences valued at over $150 million, from the bustling streets of Manhattan to sun-soaked Beverly Hills. 

      Much like her music, Swift’s homes are eclectic, polished, and unmistakably her. There’s the storied Rhode Island mansion that’s played host to her legendary Fourth of July parties—star-studded affairs attended by the likes of Emma Stone, Blake Lively, and Gigi Hadid—a sleek Nashville penthouse nodding to her country roots, and plenty more in between. Though she’s not known to have acquired any homes in the U.S. in a number of years, the Cruel Summer singer reportedly scooped up a home in London recently and has proven she’s equally as adept at navigating the world of ultra-luxury real estate as she is at conquering the charts. Let’s take a closer look at all the homes that anchor Swift’s glamorous yet grounded lifestyle. 

      Hendersonville Hideaway 

      Long before she filled stadiums and dominated the charts, Swift’s real estate journey began in Hendersonville, Tennessee, where her family relocated in 2003 to support her budding music career. In March 2004, they purchased a 6,800-square-foot waterfront home for $790,000. Set on over an acre along the Cumberland River, the spacious abode features four bedrooms and five bathrooms, offering serene views and quiet privacy just outside Nashville. Still owned by Swift’s parents, the property remains a sentimental cornerstone of her early years. 

      Nashville Condo 

      In 2009, Taylor Swift bought her first home, a $1.99 million penthouse in Nashville.

      At just 20 years old, Swift made her first real estate move with the purchase of a luxury penthouse condo in Nashville’s upscale Adelicia building. Picked up in 2009 for $1.99 million, the 4,100-square-foot Music City crash pad features three bedrooms and four-and-a-half bathrooms, with soaring floor-to-ceiling windows offering panoramic views of Music Row. Swift personally designed the interiors in a whimsically girlie, shabby-chic-meets-Alice-in-Wonderland style. 

      Forest Hills Home 

      It was long before the crossover entertainer added another Southern gem to her real estate portfolio with the $2.5 million purchase of a stately Greek Revival estate in Nashville’s exclusive Forest Hills neighborhood in mid-2011. Set on six manicured acres, the 5,600-square-foot main residence includes four bedrooms and four and a half bathrooms, complemented by a 2,000-square-foot guesthouse. The elegant interiors feature vaulted ceilings, herringbone wood floors, and marble fireplaces. The grand estate, nicknamed Northumberland, is still owned by Swift and is where her mother Andrea resides. 

      Rhode Island Mansion

      Perched atop the highest point of Watch Hill, Swift’s sprawling Rhode Island estate is one of her most iconic purchases. Hoovered up in April 2013 for $17.75 million, the 11,700-square-foot mansion boasts seven bedrooms, nine bathrooms, eight fireplaces, and panoramic views of Block Island Sound and Montauk Point. The historic property was once home to eccentric heiress Rebekah Harkness, whom Swift immortalized in her 2020 track The Last Great American Dynasty. Known for hosting legendary Fourth of July parties at the estate, Swift is reportedly undertaking a $1.7 million expansion—a new bedroom suite, additional bathrooms, and a full kitchen renovation—solidifying the estate’s status as a coastal palace befitting pop royalty. 

      New York City Penthouses 

      Swift’s Tribeca holdings include two penthouses bought in 2014 for $19.95 million

      Google Earth

      Swift’s Tribeca takeover began in 2014, when she purchased two adjacent penthouses from Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson for a combined $19.95 million. The penthouses—one about 5,900 square feet with seven bedrooms and five baths, the other roughly 2,400 square feet with three bedrooms and three-and-a-half baths—were seamlessly combined into a sprawling 10-bedroom, 10-bathroom duplex complete with a billiards room and sweeping staircase. In November 2017, Swift expanded her domain, purchasing a 3,500-square-foot, three-bedroom loft on the building’s second floor for $9.75 million from financier Jeremy Phillips.

      Beverly Hills Estate 

      In 2015, Swift bought a historic Georgian Revival mansion in Beverly Hills for $25 million.

      Google Earth

      Having already owned a couple of homes in L.A., in September 2015, Swift set her sights on a storied slice of Hollywood history: an 11,000-square-foot Georgian Revival estate in Beverly Hills formerly owned by legendary film producer Samuel Goldwyn. The $25 million mansion, built in 1934, comprises seven bedrooms and six bathrooms. Swift successfully petitioned the Beverly Hills City Council in 2017 to designate the home as a historic city landmark. Of the three Los Angeles homes Swift has owned over the years, this pedigreed residence stands as the crown jewel.

      Tribeca Townhouse 

      In September 2017, Taylor Swift added a Tribeca trophy to her real estate portfolio, snapping up a historic townhouse for $18 million. The 5,148-square-foot, 27-foot-wide residence—once owned by disgraced French diplomat Dominique Strauss-Kahn—was purchased via Euro Tribeca LLC, a shell company tied to Swift’s longtime real estate attorney. Built in 1915 and masterfully renovated by architect Leopoldo Rosati, the three-story home features four bedrooms, four-and-a-half baths, a gym, a spa with a steam bath, radiant-heated limestone floors, and a paparazzi-proof garage. A Japanese glass wall frames the planted terrace, ensuring privacy and serenity in the heart of downtown Manhattan. 

      For So Long, London

      Rumor has it that in 2023, Swift quietly snapped up a £10 million (roughly $13 million) home in one of North London’s most exclusive enclaves. Swift is no stranger to U.K. real estate—she’s previously rented homes in the Cotswolds and famously shared a Primrose Hill townhouse with ex-boyfriend Joe Alwyn. But this time, numerous unconfirmed reports say she’s officially pulled the trigger, turning her long-running love affair with the British capital into something a little more permanent. The spread, reportedly once owned by an English politician, is undergoing significant renovations, with planning documents hinting at a private compound that includes a swimming pool and an orangery.

      A Gallerist’s Artfully Updated One-Bedroom Carriage House in N.Y.C. Lists for $20 Million

      by

      One of New York’s most prominent gallerists is hoping for a masterpiece of a deal in the heart of New York City’s Greenwich Village. Gordon VeneKlasen, co-owner of the prestigious Michael Werner Gallery, has listed his exquisitely reimagined four-story carriage house on MacDougal Alley for a speck under $20 million with Compass’s Tim Malone. 

      Tucked behind locked iron gates on one of the Village’s most storied carriageways, the one-bedroom, two-bathroom residence is a fusion of historic charm and modern refinement. Built in the mid-1800s as a horse stable for homeowners around Washington Square Park, the handsomely unassuming red-brick structure has evolved through the decades, once serving as the home of Jackson Pollock before VeneKlasen acquired it from billionaire hedge funder Daniel Loeb in 2009 for approximately $6 million. Fun fact: the following year, the art dealer sold his apartment in Gramercy Park to his former neighbor, late-night host Jimmy Fallon, for $1.35 million, Observer reported at the time.

      RELATED: Sarah Jessica Parker Used This $30 Million N.Y.C. Townhouse as a Closet. Now It Can Be Yours.

      The interior was renovated with the help of architect Annabelle Selldorf.

      VHT Studios/Alexander Thompson

      Working with acclaimed architect Annabelle Selldorf—his longtime friend and collaborator—VeneKlasen transformed the 4,000-square-foot abode into an intimate, museum-quality sanctuary. “Gordon is the most curious and voracious person I’ve ever met,” Selldorf told W Magazine of the renovation. “He wants it all.”

      An interior glass vestibule was added at the front door to create a small foyer, while the interiors unfold around a sculptural central staircase, leading to a private rooftop garden that crowns the home. The double-height living room, framed by soaring south-facing windows, bathes in natural light, while blackened metal railings and hand-selected finishes create an atmosphere of quiet sophistication.

      At the rear of the ground floor, the chef’s kitchen opens to a secluded garden patio, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor spaces. The library, tucked into the finished basement and fashioned from a former wine cellar, and a guest bath clad in 100-year-old patinated copper exemplify the home’s exquisite attention to detail. 

      There are soaring 10-foot-high windows in the double-height lounge on the second floor.

      VHT Studios/Alexander Thompson

      The entire second floor is devoted to a single reception space with two 10-foot-tall windows, while the home’s lone bedroom occupies the top floor with a walk-in closet and spacious bath. On top of it all is a planted roof terrace with a vine-laced pergola, and, adding to its rarity, there’s a private parking spot just outside the front door, nearly unheard of in this part of Manhattan.

      VeneKlasen’s purchase and painstaking renovation of the property reflect a deep appreciation for both art and architecture, and the collaboration with Selldorf, who also worked on the Michael Werner Gallery—it’s located in the Upper East Side townhouse that once housed the venerable Leo Castelli Gallery—resulted in a home that not only houses an eclectic collection of art and objects but also elevates everyday living to an art form itself.

      Inside Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco’s Growing Property Portfolio

      by

      While Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco are widely celebrated for their dominance in the entertainment industry, their foray into the world of real estate has been just as impressive. Gomez, an award-winning singer, actress, and the force behind the billion-dollar cosmetic line Rare Beauty, has managed to carve out a name for herself that transcends music and Hollywood, while Blanco, a Grammy-winning producer behind some of the biggest hits in recent memory, has similarly built a legacy with his unparalleled knack for chart-topping sound. Together, the pair has amassed decades of success, and recently put out their first collaborative album, ‘I Said I Love You First.’

      Their real estate portfolio has also caught the eye of industry insiders and fans alike. Their collection, which spans from California to New York City, reflects both their artistic sensibilities and their growing commitment to diversifying their wealth. And, after years of individual investments, Gomez and Blanco recently took a major step, purchasing their first home together following their engagement last year. But don’t just take our word for it—read on to explore Gomez and Blanco’s real estate journey. 

      Casa Blanco 

      In November 2019, Blanco snapped up an ivy-clad West Hollywood estate from Tinder co-founder Sean Rad for $9.2 million and transformed it with the help of BonVivant Interiors and designer Keefe Butler of Studio BAD. The result, which he showed off to Architectural Digest, is a dreamy, 5,600-square-foot oasis featuring an alfresco dining space surrounded by lush greenery, a Mariah Carey-inspired dressing room, and a guesthouse-turned-movie theater with velvet-tufted walls. The five-bed, six-bath property sports a formal dining and living room, spacious family room, all-white chef’s kitchen, and luxurious primary suite. French doors open to a landscaped lawn and a swimming pool. 

      Beverly Hills Love Nest 

      Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco own a Spanish-style estate in Beverly Hills.

      Google Earth

      In December of 2024, Gomez and Blanco quietly acquired a $35 million Spanish-style estate in Beverly Hills, previously owned by Joker director Todd Phillips. Originally designed in 1928 by renowned architect Wallace Neff, the meticulously restored and expanded 7,000-square-foot residence features seven bedrooms, 12 baths, and elegant period details. Two additional structures house a state-of-the-art studio, gym, and private theater. Nestled on over three-quarters of an acre, the lush grounds include a stone-encased pool and spa, a glass-walled greenhouse, and a dedicated fitness center. The off-market purchase ranked among 2024’s most expensive real estate deals. 

      Beverly Grove Spanish Bungalow 

      Blanco picked up this Spanish-Modern gem in Los Angeles back in January 2019 for $2.34 million, shortly after a full 2018 renovation gave the place a polished new identity. Tucked behind gates, the 2,000-square-foot home has three bedrooms and four bathrooms. The designer kitchen—complete with a quartz island, Bertazzoni range, and brass accents—opens onto vaulted living spaces with high-beamed ceilings and hardwood floors. The primary suite includes a skylit hallway, walk-in closet, and spa-like bath. Out back, there’s a sleek new pool and detached garage, primed for conversion. 

      Malibu Beach House 

      Before it was reduced to ashes in the Palisades Fire earlier this year, Blanco’s Malibu beach house—once owned by actor Edward Norton—was a rare slice of old-school coastal charm. Purchased in September 2018 for almost $4.4 million, the 1,000-square-foot cottage sat on Las Flores’s “Dog Beach,” with 38 feet of coveted ocean frontage and its own secret surf break. Split into two units, the home blended vintage Malibu with a laid-back, bohemian feel: exposed beams, bamboo floors, a mustard yellow wood stove, and a tiki hut perched above the sand. Norton had rented it out for $15,000 a month before ultimately selling it to Blanco, property records show.

      WeHo Mini-Compound 

      In April 2015, Blanco expanded his real estate portfolio with the purchase of a sleek, contemporary compound in the heart of West Hollywood. Acquired for $2.13 million, the 2,750-square-foot property features a spacious four-bedroom, three-bath main house and a private guesthouse. Internally, the home sports an open floor plan, a designer chef’s kitchen, and a primary suite with a grand walk-in closet and bath. The expansive yard comes complete with a swimming pool and deck. 

      New York City Condo  

      Benny Blanco sold his longtime New York City condo in April 2025 for $3.6 million.

      Kenneth Chen/Evan Joseph Studios

      Earlier this month, Blanco officially parted ways with his Manhattan bachelor pad after nearly a year on the market. Originally purchased in October 2011 for $3.45 million, the 2,200-square-foot, loft-style unit in Chelsea’s iconic Chelsea Mercantile building sold for $3.6 million in April 2025—slightly under his asking price but still a plus. The two-bedroom, three-bath home featured a combination of modern design and colorful artwork, with an expansive living area, an all-white kitchen with marble accents, and a secluded primary suite with a luxurious bath. The building offers full-service amenities, including a 24-hour doorman, gym, and landscaped rooftop. 

      Encino Estate 

      Gomez still owns a striking Encino estate once custom-built for Tom Petty and his wife, Jane Benyo, in 1989. Purchased in March 2020 for $4.9 million, the roughly 11,000-square-foot home has six bedrooms, 10 baths, and a host of luxe amenities, including a gym, massage room, wine cellar, and revamped recording studio. While extensively renovated, the estate retains its original charm. The lower level now features a creative workspace, vocal booth, and guest suite. Outside, lush canyon views frame a resort-style pool, spa, cabana, fire pit, and a cascading waterfall flowing into a tranquil stream. 

      Woodland Hills Home 

      The Only Murders in the Building star also holds the keys to a charming Woodland Hills home she purchased in 2017 for $1.8 million. Built in 1949, this private, gated estate spans half an acre and offers 3,500 square feet of living space with four bedrooms and four baths. Inside, the home features hardwood floors, a wood-burning fireplace, and an abundance of natural light. The chef’s kitchen is equipped with Wolf appliances and quartz countertops, while the family room showcases wood-beamed ceilings and a home theater. Elsewhere, the primary suite offers a walk-in closet, fireplace, and spa-inspired bath. Outdoors, enjoy a pool, fire pit, and outdoor kitchen. Gomez’s mother, Mandy, and stepfather, Brian Teefey, reside in the home.

      Courtney Love’s Former Manhattan Loft Is Up for Grabs at $9.5 Million

      by

      When an 1800s corset factory in New York’s Soho neighborhood was converted into a boutique condo in the early aughts, the seven-story building attracted a slew of famous folks.

      Among those who scrambled to pick up one of 30 Crosby Street’s 13 units was Lenny Kravitz, who doled out $8 million for a duplex penthouse that he once rented to Nicole Kidman before selling to Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz for $12.4 million. Courtney Love also shelled out $2.6 million in 2001 for a fourth-floor loft, which the lead singer and guitarist of Hole and widow of Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain offloaded in 2006 for $5 million after riling up neighbors with her famously precarious behavior. Now, almost 20 years later, that residence has popped back up for sale, this time with a $9.5 million asking price.

      A bookshelf-lined library sits in the center of the loft.

      Last sold in 2012 for a speck over $7 million to Stefan Sonnenfeld and Missy Papageorge, co-founders of the post-production house Company 3 that’s worked on everything from The White Lotus to Beyonce music videos, the seven-room flat has three bedrooms and four baths in roughly 4,100 square feet. The rustic-chic interiors are adorned throughout with hardwood floors, exposed-brick walls, high beamed ceilings supported by the original wood columns, and large industrial-style windows for plenty of natural light.

      A private elevator opens into a small foyer, which flows to an open-concept great room holding a kitchen outfitted with an eat-in island that seats four and top-tier appliances, including two Sub-Zero refrigerators, a double oven, a vented cooktop, and a wine cooler. An adjacent living and dining area comes with a black floating-hearth fireplace, as well as a hanging swing, mirror ball, and punching bag.

      One of the bedrooms has been transformed into a den with a pair of thrones.

      Sequestered off by themselves are the sleeping quarters, which include two bedrooms with western exposures and a shared bath, as well as a primary suite boasting a dressing room that leads to a spa-like bath equipped with dual vanities, a soaking tub, and a separate shower. There’s also a library sporting built-in bookshelves, plus an office nook and a lounge area that doubles as a gallery.

      Rounding out the listing, which is held by Holly Sose, Tim Cass, Katie Johnson, and Sabine Modeste of The Corcoran Group, is a $6,322 per month common charge that entitles the owner to a 24-hour doorman, concierge services, a lobby with an aromatherapy system, climate-controlled wine storage, and a fireside tasting/dining room.

      Supermodel Linda Evangelista’s Posh Manhattan Penthouse Lists for $8.2 Million

      by

      Linda Evangelista is officially strutting away from her New York City penthouse. The iconic Canadian supermodel—famously known for her ultra-short hairstyle nicknamed “The Linda” and the phrase, “We don’t wake up for less than $10,000 a day”—has hoisted her elegant pied-à-terre in Manhattan’s West Chelsea neighborhood up for sale at a speck under $8.2 million. Steve Gold of The Corcoran Group holds the listing.

      She previously put the property on the market in May 2024 for $9.5 million. That’s around $1.3 million more than its current asking price, which comes out to $2,051 per square foot—a “value buy at this point,” Gold told the New York Post, adding that he’s sold nearby condos for $5,000 a square foot.

      The sky-lit great room’s living and dining areas connect to a seated bar and an office nook.

      Perched atop the 1880s Spears Building, a six-story converted furniture showroom nestled between the High Line and Hudson River, the posh digs offer four bedrooms and two baths spread across roughly 4,000 square feet of largely original yet modernized interiors outfitted with exposed brick, polished concrete floors, and high ceilings dotted with skylights. There’s also an in-unit washer and dryer, plus a 2,500-square-foot rooftop terrace that’s ideal for alfresco lounging and entertaining.

      Other highlights include an elevator that opens into a lengthy entrance gallery lined with artwork. From there, the spacious great room boasts a wood-burning fireplace and large windows overlooking three exposures. A dining area is flanked by a seated bar and a small office, while the galley kitchen is equipped with butcher block countertops, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, and a windowed breakfast nook.

      The Manhattan residence is crowned by a private rooftop oasis spanning 2,500 square feet.

      Secluded off by itself is a corner primary suite, which hosts a model-ready dressing room featuring not one but six floor-to-ceiling custom closets, as well as a spa-inspired bath with a soaking tub and a glassy shower. Three additional bedrooms can be used for guests, offices, or creative spaces.

      The new owner will also be privy to plenty of amenities via a $5,669 monthly common charge, including a 24-hour doorman, a concierge, storage units, and a common rooftop deck. The pet-friendly building also contains several art galleries.

      Known for her work as one of the original supermodels of the ’80s and ’90s alongside the likes of Christy Turlington, Naomi Campbell, Claudia Schiffer, and Cindy Crawford, Ontario-born Evangelista, 59, appeared in multimillion-dollar campaigns for Revlon and Versace.

      Ellie Kemper’s Central Park-View Apartment in N.Y.C. Is Up for Grabs at $7.5 Million

      by

      After first hoisting her New York City apartment on the market in early March for just under $8 million, Ellie Kemper has now lowered the price of her Manhattan digs on Central Park West. The actress and comedian, best known for her roles on The Office and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, is asking a discounted $7.5 million for the combined two-unit spread. Unfortunately for her and her comedian and TV writer/producer husband Michael Koman, that’s $300,000 less than the $7.8 million they paid in late 2021.

      Found on the fourth floor of The Ardsley, a 22-story Art Deco apartment house built and designed in the early 1930s by Emery Roth, the four-bedroom, seven-bath residence offers 60 feet of Central Park frontage. Pre-war details throughout its 3,750 square feet include herringbone-patterned wood floors, beamed ceilings, and large casement windows.

      The park-view library and living room are connected via pocketing doors.

      A private elevator opens to a landing that flows to a duo of foyers leading to separate wings. The park-facing side includes a fireside living room with custom bookshelves and an adjacent library, plus a pair of sizable primary suite-eligible bedrooms outfitted with walk-in closets and updated baths.

      Other highlights include a dining room and a windowed eat-in kitchen sporting a multi-hued glass tile backsplash, a Wolf range, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, a Miele dishwasher, and a nearby nook holding another fridge and washer and dryer. Two additional bedrooms each have their own baths, as does a small office off the kitchen, while a TV room/den sits next to a wine room that can accommodate up to 1,000 bottles.

      The 3,750-square-foot apartment has a total of four en suite bedrooms.

      The unit’s $7,709 in monthly maintenance fees allow access to on-site services and amenities like a 24-hour doorman and concierge, a fitness center, a children’s playroom, a library, and even a dog bath.

      The listing is shared by Ann Cutbill Lenane and Gregory Williamson of Douglas Elliman.

      The residence has 60 feet of direct frontage on Central Park.

      Kemper sold a similarly updated but slightly smaller pre-war apartment in the same Upper West Side neighborhood nearly three years ago for $3.3 million, according to the New York Post. A two-time Emmy nominee for her lead role in Netflix’s Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, the actress has also appeared in The Office, as well as the films Bridesmaids, 21 Jump Street, Home Sweet Home Alone, and Happiness for Beginners. Most recently, she was tapped as “Kohl’s Mom” for the department store’s new marketing campaign.

      Benny Blanco Just Sold His Manhattan Bachelor Pad for $3.6 Million

      by

      Benny Blanco has been quite busy as of late. The influential songwriter and producer got engaged to Selena Gomez and has been touring with his singer/actor/beauty entrepreneur fiancée in support of their newly released joint album, I Said I Love You First. On the real estate front, he also partnered with Gomez on the $35 million off-market purchase of a historic Wallace Neff-designed home in a prime pocket of Beverly Hills that was once owned by Hollywood director Todd Phillips.

      But now Blanco can take at least one thing off his fully loaded plate! After nearly a year on the market, he’s finally managed to offload his longtime New York City bachelor pad in Manhattan’s Chelsea neighborhood, just minutes away from the highly popular, elevated High Line park.

      Originally offered for a speck under $4 million in May 2024 and later reduced to $3.75 million, the loft-style digs ultimately transferred to an unidentified buyer for $3.6 million, slightly less than he originally wanted but still $155,000 more than the $3.4 million he paid back in late 2011. The listing, which was first reported by Realtor.com, was shared by John Gomes, Jacqueline Wilde, and Fredrik Eklund of Douglas Elliman.

      One of the guest bedrooms with a Murphy bed has been transformed into an office.

      Found on the sixth floor of Seventh Avenue’s 19-story Chelsea Mercantile building, which was built in the early 1900s and served as a mail-order house for The National Cloak and Suit Company, the three-bedroom, three-bath unit features 2,200 square feet of renovated living space filled with colorful artwork and bold accessories.

      A lengthy entry gallery leads to a combined living and dining area, which rests beneath an 11-foot ceiling and provides picturesque southeastern views via large windows wrapping its corner locale. An adjacent all-white kitchen sports a veined marble backsplash and countertops, plus an eat-in peninsula and top-tier Wolf and Sub-Zero stainless appliances.

      The dramatic black primary bath is spotlighted by decorative bowl sinks and a walnut soaking tub.

      Tall white oak double doors open into the secluded primary suite, which is outfitted with a Poliform walk-in closet that flows to a black-tiled bath equipped with a dual-sink vanity, a walnut-clad soaking tub, and a shower. Two additional bedrooms include one that has its own bath and a workspace and another with a Murphy bed and built-in bookshelves that doubles as an office.

      The unit comes with a $1,819 monthly maintenance fee, which allows access to services and amenities like a 24-hour doorman and concierge, gym, landscaped rooftop deck, children’s playroom, conference area, garage parking, and a private storage unit.

      In addition to their new Beverly Hills home, Gomez still lays claim to a place in Encino that was previously owned by Tom Petty, while Blanco, who lost a beachfront home in Malibu earlier this year during the Palisades Fire, owns a Hollywood Hills estate that he bought in 2020 from Tinder founder Sean Rad for $9.9 million.
