For months the possibility of living with Richard Gere has been one of the quiet selling points for Palazzo Chupi, director Julian Schnabel's monument to his own Schnabeliciousness in New York's West Village. Now that dream is over, Gere's full-floor, four-bedroom apartment is listed with Sotheby's. Gere's apartment has some benefits over the over two apartments which are listed at $27 million and $32 million, mainly that it's a little less over-the-top and doesn't have that odd avocado-colored kitchen. Curbed states that Gere bought the apartment in September for $12 million and has listed at $17,995,000. Is New York ready for "Venice in Manhattan?" We'll have to wait and see how long these places stay on the market.

UPDATE: As of January 2009, Gere's home is listed at $15 million.

Beautiful,I love it.It looks like R.G.Don't understand someone owning this and wanting to get rid of it.I don't think this one will sit long.This is one of very,very few I've seen on Luxist that I would buy if able.It's almost as adorable as Gere himself.
