A New York City penthouse that belonged to Cher and then Britney Spears has hit the market for $6.995 million, according to Top Ten Real Estate Deals.
For decades, the style-conscious have looked to Cher for her home choices in glamorous locations from New York City to California and Hawaii, her artistic vision and related upscale decorating talent rivals her singing and showmanship.
Cher was the Silk Building penthouse apartment’s first owner when she purchased it after the building’s transition to residences and lived there until 1990 when she sold it to Russell Simmons for $1.6 million.
Britney Spears later bought the apartment, it was where she wrote the Grammy-winning song “Toxic,” and she lived there for four years. Britney combined two units to make up the current apartment with 3,785 square feet and four bedrooms. Keith Richards also once lived in the building where he had two floors and a recording studio.
Some of the penthouse’s best features are the tall ceilings, 400-square-foot outdoor terrace, fully operational wood fireplaces, and the wet bar in the primary suite. A fifth bedroom could be added by repurposing the rooftop den with bath that opens to the large terrace with views over Greenwich Village and the Empire State Building. The kitchen is styled up-to-the minute and bathrooms are upgraded with book-matched marble. Cher would definitely approve.
