Notable NYC Neighbors
APRIL 25, 2013
Neighborhoods that attract socialites (Libet Johnson), artists (Marina Abramovic
) and interior design stars (Nate Berkus) aren’t always predictable...except when they are.
Notable exes David Duchovny and Tea Leoni are still looking for a buyer for their Upper East Side maisonette at 170 East 78th Street for $8.5 million–down from its original $9.25 million list price back in January. The pair bought the five-bedroom triplex co-op with wood-burning fireplaces, a fully tricked-out kitchen and a garden back in 2008 for $6.25 million (NYPost).
Jesse Tyler Ferguson of Modern Family TV comedy fame is reportedly renting an apartment at the Lucida at 151 East 85th Street. The amenity-packed 122-unit condo offers a 24-hour doorman, a concierge, a spa with a skylit pool, a residents’ lounge with a catering kitchen and a Kidville-designed children’s playroom (NYPost).
Interior designer and Oprah pal Nate Berkus has listed his West Village one-bedroom at 32 Downing Street for $699,000. The recently-engaged Berkus also owns a 3-bedroom duplex at 19 West 9th Street, but the smaller co-op is newly renovated – a.k.a. officially blessed with the Berkus interior cachet – and was also featured in O at Home magazine (CurbedNY).
Socialite Libet Johnson has been attempting to trim her real estate holdings in recent years. The Johnson & Johnson heiress has had the Vanderbilt mansion on the market for $50 million for at least a year; more recently, she listed a 2-bedroom 30th-floor condo in the Trump International Hotel and Tower at 1 Central Park West for $4 million (NYObserver).
After selling her SoHo loft at 70 Grand Street for $3.2 million last year, performance artist Marina Abramovic recently acquired a $2.65 million apartment at the Philip Johnson-designed Urban Glass House at 330 Spring Street, also in SoHo. The 1,722 square-foot, 2-bedroom condo boasts floor-to-ceiling windows and Annabelle Selldorf-designed interiors (CurbedNY).
