The apartment that Carrie Bradshaw lived in as a single lady in Sex and the City has been sold to an unnamed buyer, the New York Observer reports.
The gorgeous brownstone, located at at 64 Perry Street in Manhattan's West Village, listed for $9.65m in early March and sold for $9.85m. The brownstone's façade (the interior scenes were shot elsewhere) served as the backdrop for countless lingering post-date moments and famous fight/make-up/break-up scenes with Aidan, Big and Burger. Like this one:
Real estate blog Curbed has pics of the five-bedroom brownstone, replete with its herringbone wood floors and six fireplaces. Carrie, who lived on a columnist's salary (yeah, right) and had a notorious addiction to Manolo Blahniks, could never have afforded such swank digs.
In the last year, several famous locales have gone to new owners. A couple of months ago, Truman Capote's 11-bedroom Brooklyn Heights home sold for an astonishing $12m. The sprawling acres of corn fields made famous in Field of Dreams also sold recently, to a company that plans to develop it into a commercial baseball field.
As Carrie might say, we "cannot help but wonder… " if famous properties are worth the astonishing prices they go for on the market. Would you want to live on a TV show set? Which pop-culture property is the home of your dreams? Or do you think the novelty of living somewhere like this Gossip Girl mansion would wear off? Toss your thoughts in the comments below.
