After months of speculation on floor plans and price, three vast Upper East Side homes belonging to reclusive heiress Huguette Clark–after her death last year at 104–are finally on the market. The apartments at 907 Fifth Avenue are asking $24 million, $19 million and $12 million. They will need work–the apartments haven’t been updated since Clark inherited them from her mother in 1963. She never lived in any of them; the apartments–totalling 17,000 square feet and 42 rooms–were used to store her beloved doll collection (CurbedNY). 907 Fifth Avenue is a lavish, Italian-Renassiance-palazzo-style apartment house built in 1915 that CityRealty editor Carter B. Horsley claims is "about as close to heaven as possible in New York."
After being exonerated in a tenant-landlord dispute, Courtney Love has decamped from her West Village apartment and signed a lease at 285 Lafayette Street, where Ian Schrager used to own a penthouse. More boldface names are involved: Bono wrote the widow Cobain a paragraph-long character reference to help seal the deal (NYDN).
Scottish actor Ewan McGregor was reportedly having a look at a four-bedroom, 4,464-square-foot penthouse triplex at 58 Reade Street in TriBeCa. The apartment, listed for $8.995 million, has 1,200 square feet of outdoor space and an upstairs open living area with 18-foot ceilings and terraces to the north and south (NYPost).
It-model Agyness Deyn has sold her funky, fused Williamsburg Mill Building condo apartment for $2.175 million. She bought the (formerly) two separate apartments in the building for $965k apiece back in 2008 (CurbedNY).
