City records indicated that it is the most expensive real estate sale of the week for $18.250 million. However, to celebrity owners-turned-sellers, Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick, it was actually sold at a significant loss.
The couple's prime Greenwich Village property had been in the market thrice since 2012, but it was only sold recently at a $1.7-million loss, the New York Times reported.
The Greek revival-style townhouse at 20 East 10th Street, between Fifth Avenue and University Place measures 25-feet wide and has five floors with an estimated at 6,800 square feet of space, the publication added.
Parker and Broderick bought the property in late 2011 for $24.99 million and added their own home alterations - including Sarah's ideal walk-in closets, seven fireplaces and almost each of the six bedrooms has a bath, according to real estate online news provider, Curbed.
The New York Times said that aside from having a good location at a primed tree-line street at the Village, Parker and Broderick really invested on the renovations, which included a garden meticulously landscaped and tiered in the back that can also be viewed from a Juliet balcony on the parlor floor. The best three rooms are on the top floor and even had a sitting area and library.
Parker and Broderick never really lived on the property, according to Curbed, and tried to sell the property back in 2012 for $25 million, but there were no takers. The property price was later on cut to $22 million, then for $19.95 million. In March this year, the recorded sale was at $18.25 million.
