A gorgeous Manhattan home where the late actor James Gandolfini once rented a unit has taken another price cut — after being on and off the market since 2007.
The Greek Revival spread, at 179 Sullivan St. in Greenwich Village — where actress Mischa Barton once lived — is now asking $13.75 million, down from the $16.49 million it asked last year. (Riding a price rollercoaster, the property asked $17.5 million in 2016—a dramatic increase from its $10 million list price in 2007.)
Gandolfini rented the second floor as his study when he starred in God of Carnage on Broadway in 2009, Gimme Shelter previously reported. Gandolfini, best known as the star of “The Sopranos,” died in 2013 at the age of 51 while on vacation in Italy with his family.
“The building is a masterpiece. When you walk in and look at the entry, it’s stunning,” said listing broker Beatrice Caponetti of Brown Harris Stevens, adding that the home is now priced to sell.
Measuring 25 meters wide, the mansion was built in 1835 and was once owned by Gilded Age magnate Jay Gould. The current owner is artist and sculptor Leah Poller, and the Lupo family office, which bought the building — now carved into five rental units with plenty of outdoor space — in 2005 for $2.35 million. There is also a garden level medical office suite and a basement.
The seven-bedroom, seven-bathroom property is 8,049 square feet—it also offers more than 2,000 square feet of private outdoor space.
Details include an original curved staircase and 13m high ceilings. There are also arches, columns, cornices, floor-to-ceiling windows, skylights and decorative fireplaces – along with a 1,250 square foot roof space.
Above all, the building can be returned to single-family residential status, as all the units inside can be delivered empty.
