Meryl Streep's Former Greenwich Village Townhouse Just Hit The Market
Walk past a charming, unassuming red brick building in New York City's Greenwich Village, and you may just guess it's another lovely home in the neighborhood - not the former home of an A-list celebrity.
That is, until you walk inside.
The five-story townhouse at 19 West 12th Street was built in the Late Greek Revival style in 1845, and boasts 6,585 square feet, 15 rooms and a lovely sun-filled garden level (a rarity in Manhattan). That's when you know this is the type of home that belonged to the likes of someone special - in this case, Meryl Streep.
Three-time Academy Award winner Streep owned the home from 2004, when she bought it for $9 million, until she sold it ten years later for $9.1 million, according to Luxury Listings NYC. Around that time, Streep purchased a penthouse in Tribeca for $9 million.
Now, her former Greenwich Village home is back on the market, but for a higher asking price this time - $28.5 million, to be exact. The home features snazzy little things like six fireplaces, a spacious dressing room with skylight, a basement that can be used as a wine cellar and a tremendous kitchen outfitted for a professional chef.
Speaking of the kitchen, just take a look at its neon pizzaz:
It's not the only room that makes a statement in the townhouse, though. The master bathroom is essentially 450 square feet of Italian Calacatta marble, complete with its own fireplace (how cozy), iron cast bathtub and freestanding shower.
That shower looks like an awfully good place to belt out the lyrics to "Mamma Mia!" if you ask us.
