While reruns of The Cosby Show have all but vanished from the airwaves in light of Bill Cosby's sexual assault conviction, one thing that cannot be so easily forgotten is the show's strong New York connection. 10 Stigwood Avenue is a fictional address, but actor Geoffrey Owens points out, "The house that they used for the show was actually in Greenwich Village, but we were supposed to live in Brooklyn Heights, but we filmed in Queens."
All exterior shots for the house on The Cosby Show were taken at 10 Saint Luke's Place in the heart of the West Village. It was the start of a trend that Friends and Sex and the City would later emulate--and one that would draw crowds of TV-loving tourists from all over the world to a once-quiet corner of New York City!

Offscreen, 10 Saint Luke's Place is a prewar rental building. All units are fully leased, but its neighbor at 11 Saint Luke's Place is on the market for $28.75 million. The townhouse dates back to 1852 and retains its timeless facade, but the interiors have been masterfully renovated into a six-bedroom, seven-bath single-family home by Gregory Sharp Architect
. Bespoke finishes, high-quality materials, and state-of-the-art appliances and infrastructure have transformed it into a modern dream mansion.
