Rosie O’Donnell Offloads NYC Penthouse After Extended Market Time
After two years on the real estate market, comedian and talk show host Rosie O’Donnell has successfully sold her luxurious penthouse located in Midtown Manhattan’s Turtle Bay neighborhood.
Market Journey and Sale Price
Initially listed in spring 2023 for $8.3 million, the property underwent several price adjustments before finding a buyer. It was relisted at approximately $8 million, then temporarily removed from the market before being offered at a discounted price of $7.5 million in April 2024. The penthouse is now under contract for $6.9 million, representing a notable reduction of $1.1 million from the amount O’Donnell paid for the residence in 2017. Caroline Bass of Corcoran handled the listing.
About the Penthouse
The duplex, spanning roughly 3,600 square feet, occupies the top two floors of the 33-story Sterling Plaza Tower, a development established in the mid-1980s. The residence features four bedrooms and three bathrooms, with interiors enhanced by Russian wide-plank oak flooring, a striking Guggenheim-inspired staircase, and advanced smart-home technologies. A spacious rooftop terrace offers stunning views, including landmarks like the Chrysler Building, the Empire State Building, and the East River.
Interior Highlights
Among its luxurious features, the living area is graced with large windows and a honed black granite wood-burning fireplace. The adjoining dining room includes a wet bar and a cozy built-in window seat, leading to a state-of-the-art Boffi kitchen equipped with:
- Corian countertops
- An eat-in island
- A wine fridge capable of storing 70 bottles
- High-end appliances from Gaggenau and Miele
Master Suite and Amenities
The primary suite is particularly noteworthy, featuring six custom-designed closets, an additional walk-in closet, and a luxurious marble-finished bathroom. The bathroom is equipped with heated floors, dual vanities, a freestanding soaking tub, and a glass-encased steam shower. For relaxation, a two-person Swedish sauna adds to the suite’s appeal. Residents also benefit from 24-hour doorman and concierge services, alongside a monthly maintenance fee of $5,119.
O’Donnell’s Relocation
Recently, Rosie O’Donnell, originally from Long Island, has relocated to Ireland with her child, Clay, citing American politics as the primary motivation for the move. “Although I was never someone who thought I would move to another country, that’s what I decided would be best for myself and my 12-year-old child,” O’Donnell shared in a TikTok video earlier this month, discussing her recent life changes.
