Hitmakers and Oscar-winners turn success into NYC real estate: Keith Richards buys on Fifth; Oliver Stone sells in the West Village.

Rocker Keith Richards and wife Patti Hansen just closed the deal on a penthouse at 1 Fifth Avenue (pictured). The Stones’ guitarist paid $10.5 million for the four-bedroom duplex co-op with three terraces, custom millwork and built-in Sonos sound, down $4.5 million from its December 2012 ask of $15 million (TRD).

In a more modern rock-and-real-estate combo, Aaron Comess, drummer for ‘90s hitmakers Spin Doctors, is selling his East Village duplex for $3.995 million. The 2,796-square-foot condominium at 124 East 13th Street comes with keyed elevator access, a 300-square-foot terrace with an outdoor shower, hot tub and gas line for grilling and a recording studio on the commercial-zoned first floor (NYPost).

Oliver Stone recently listed his two-bedroom 1 Morton Square condo for $2.99 million. The West Village apartment has 11-foot ceilings and Hudson River views and the full-service building offers a gym, a childrens’ playroom and a garage. The Oscar-winning director/screenwriter/producer purchased the condominium as a pied-a-terre in 2010 for $2.2 million. Stone’s primary residence is in Los Angeles, but he’s also reportedly on the hunt for a more spacious–over 2,000 square feet–NYC apartment (WSJ).

Academy Award-winning producer (Tootsie) Dirk Richards recently put his apartment in the iconic Sherry Netherland Hotel at 781 Fifth Avenue on the market for $3.49 million. The furnished apartment has Central Park and Fifth Avenue views and a marble gallery. Residents get hotel amenities like maid service and room service from Cipriani's and rights to share in the co-op’s residential “rental pool.” (NYPost).

Former Major League Baseball COO and president Robert Dupuy and his wife recently sold their four-bedroom duplex in the Milan House at 115 East 67th Street on the Upper East Side. The 1930-vintage, John D. Rockefeller-built co-op is known for its magnificent central garden and for a fanciful decorative facade bearing stone sculptures of woodland creatures. The apartment, which features southern exposures and a wood-burning fireplace, sold for $5.77 million, falling short of its $6.75 million ask (NYO).
