SBC in BPC; Laetitia casts an eye on the Chelsea Modern; Susan Sarandon gets the loft in one easy payment

Susan Sarandon will be living solo in style in her 7,000 square foot Chelsea loft at 147 West 15th Street. Word has it that—a year-and-a–half post-breakup—the Thelma and Louise star paid ex Tim Robbins only $3.2 million for the space they’d shared, which includes the whole eighth floor and part of the seventh in a building where a smaller, lower floor sold for over $5 mil about two years ago (NYObserver).

Sacha Baron Cohen, wife Isla Fisher and their two daughters, Olive and Elula, have been spotted enjoying the waterside views near the downtown Manhattan digs the family recently rented at Riverhouse at Battery Park City, where three-bedrooms range from $8,700 to $15,000 per month (NYPost).

French Supermodel Laetitia Casta was seen having a look at a just-under-$4-million penthouse at the Audrey Matlock-designed Chelsea Modern at 447 West 18th Street. The former face of L’Oreal, Dior and Chanel toured a three-bedroom, three-bathroom unit with a glass staircase that leads to a roof deck with Empire State Building and river views (NYPost).

Off the island: Former Mets team captain John Franco is still looking for a buyer for his Staten Island manse; the Cliffwood Avenue home in the borough’s Todt Hill area is on the market for $4.95 million—almost half the 2005 asking price. The 11,539-square-foot mansion holds eight bedrooms, 11 bathrooms and water views plus perks like an ice cream parlor, indoor basketball court, DJ booth, pool, cabana and wine cellar (NYPost).
