SJP reject back on the market; Hirschfeld’s home changes hands; Matt Dillon to restaurant: Get off my lawn!

After all the fuss and money down on the 16 East 10th Street townhouse, it’s back on the market for $14.9 mil. Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick bought a place just down the street for $19 million though the townhouse was in contract for 14 months (NYPost).

The late cartoonist Al Hirschfeld’s Carnegie Hill co-op at 122 East 95th Street has just sold to a theater and arts foundation CFO and his wife for $5.31 million (CurbedNY). The home’s colorful interior, Hirschfeld-painted fireplace tiles and caricature wallpaper undoubtedly helped to sell the 4,160 square-foot pink townhouse for just above its asking price.

Matt Dillon doesn’t like the revelry level in his neighborhood in Manhattan’s Community Board 7 district. The actor showed up at a CB7 meeting to complain about the “night club vibe” at Calle Ocho restaurant which has plans to move to a new location next door to Dillon’s building at 81st Street and Central Park West (NYPost).

Designing life: The mystery buyer who just purchased one of six Robert A.M. Stern-designed townhouses (a five-bedroom Neo-Georgian) at 60 Bethune Street (behind the Superior Ink tower) for $10.5 million will have designer Marc Jacobs, who bought 68 Bethune for $10.5 mil in 2009, for a neighbor. Only two more of the townhouses remain on the market (New York Observer). Derek Lam has acquired a loft to call home at 92 Greene Street. The Soho fashion designer paid $4.65 million for the 2,177-square-foot fifth-floor duplex-turned triplex (New York Observer).

Further signs of celebrity (East) river-hopping: Sports Illustrated swimsuit cover model Yamila Díaz-Rahi has just sold her two-bedroom penthouse co-op at 133 West 28th Street in Chelsea to move into a historic 3,223-square-foot home at 364 Washington Avenue in the brownstone enclave of Clinton Hill (New York Observer).
