Strokes Guitarist Puts His NYC Apartment Back On The Market

Filed under: Estates, Celebrity Shopping

Cityfile reports that Albert Hammond Jr. the lead guitarist of The Strokes has put his apartment in New York City's East Village back on the market for a reduced price. Hammond first listed the two-bedroom pad at 141 East 3rd Street for $1.199 million last August. It went to contract but the buyer dropped out. It went back on the market for $999,000 then went back off the market. Now it's back with an even lower price. The two-bedroom apartment is in the Ageloff towers building and has high ceilings, a renovated kitchen and bath and large closets. The style is hipster casual and there are plenty of bookshelves in the main living space. It is now listed at $899,000.

15 Central Park West, Estate of the Day

NYC seems to be surviving the housing market's slow decline better than most cities. Case in point: This $80,000,000 condo at 15 Central Park West. Located on the 40th floor, the home, built in 2007, is 5,276 square feet and has unobstructed views over Central Park West and the Hudson River. Of the 9.5 rooms, there are 4 bedrooms and 5.5 baths, and the major rooms have 14-foot ceilings. There's a library and a fireplace (only one?). The ground floor suite is 1,222 square feet with private street access that would work for owner staff offices. There's also the usual building amenities: doorman, courtyard, health club, pool, and garage. As with most condos and with many homes in NYC, you pay way more than the purchase price. This home requires monthly maintenance/CC of $5,425 and monthly real estate tax of $2,081. Too bad the photos only show you the view -- I'd love to see the kitchen and bathrooms in a home like this!
