It would be easy to hate Russian supermodel Natalia Vodianova if only she weren't by all accounts, such a nice person and one who did not have an easy upbringing before the charmed life she currently enjoys. Braden Keil of the NY Post reports that Vodianova and her husband Justin Portman have listed their three-bedroom apartment at 72 Reade Street in New York City. Portman bought the home as a bachelor pad for $2,291,500 in 1999. Now he and his model wife are decamping to London.

The home, which is probably getting cramped given that the couple is expecting their third child, has an indoor reflecting pool, media room, sauna, three separate terraces (northern, southern, and eastern) and an outdoor infinity-edge soaking pool off the master bedroom. The sixth floor penthouse is over 4100 square feet and has direct access through a private key locked elevator. It has all sorts of details that are Zen and quirky like a table with a parasol in the master suite and art sourced from around the world. You have to have a certain cool to make this place work. If you are into cozy this probably isn't your pad. This is a rock star home, the type that Lenny Kravitz or someone else with friends to entertain and babes to impress might easily enjoy. It's easy to suspect that this place was probably a feature in Portman's favor when he was pursuing young Miss Vodianova. It is listed at $11 million. After the jump, buy this and get your own supermodel.
