Real Estate

Back in play

The Greenwich Village townhouse that Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick had under contract for more than a year, but walked away from, is back on the market with a $14.9 million asking price.

The townhouse at 16 E. 10th St. is about 8,500 square feet, with 14-foot ceilings, 11 marble fireplaces and a garden. The owner since the 1920s is the Pen & Brush, a literary, performing and visual arts group for women.

Parker, who was in contract on the 25-foot-wide residence for 14 months, got her deposit back and ended up buying a different 25-foot-wide townhouse just a couple doors down for $19 million. Parker didn’t buy 16 E. 10th St. after there were issues with the residence being delivered vacant. But worry not, potential buyers. Those issues have since been resolved, brokers say.

Prudential Douglas Elliman’s Patrick Gavin and Robert Haberman have the listing.

We hear . . .

That Ivan Hakimian of HPNY is quietly fielding offers around the $26 million asking price for the 9,700-square-foot townhouse at 134-136 E. 74th St. The townhouse, originally two homes, has 37-plus feet of frontage on Park Avenue and 22-foot ceilings . . . That the Real Deal had the premiere screening of its first documentary, about architect Costas Kondylis, at the Morgan Library & Museum last night. New brokerage Town Residential co-hosted the event. . . . That Frank Sinatra’s former Palm Springs estate, with its piano-shaped pool, is up for rent at a charitybuzz.com auction for the Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice & Human Rights.

Shot of Gin

Russian composer Igor Krutoy and his wife, Olga, already own one of Manhattan’s priciest trophy apartments, and now they’re making a splash in the Hamptons. Krutoy, who, as we previously reported, closed on a $48 million home at the Plaza (a record for a single NYC condo), has bought a mansion on Gin Lane in Southampton for $12.85 million.

While it’s not on the ocean side, it’s still a prestigious address. But the Krutoys, we’re told, are planning to tear down the existing house and build a new mansion.

The Krutoys’ Hamptons broker, the Corcoran Group’s Susan Breitenbach, did not return our calls.

Starting over

It appears that multimillion-dollar teardowns are the new East End trend.

David Walentas, the developer who created DUMBO, plans to tear down his $20 million-plus mansion on Meadow Lane in Southampton — although he plans to rent it first for around $400,000 this summer, sources say.

And billionaire hedge-funder David Tepper is demolishing a mansion on Gibson Lane in Sagaponack, which he bought for $43.5 million from Joanne Dougherty, former New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine’s ex-wife. That home was good enough for billionaire Henry Silverman, who paid $900,000 to live there for the summer with baby mama Karen Hader.

Lloyd looking

Is Goldman Sachs about to issue a buy rating on the Hamptons? CEO Lloyd Blankfein has been spotted checking out uber-expensive, flashy properties on the East End.

One property that he saw is in Wainscott and has a $38 million price tag. It’s a 14.6-acre waterfront farm, made up of two separate parcels that have been in the same family for generations. The property has two homes, a 21-stall horse barn and other buildings. We wonder what Blankfein or any future owner might want to tear down here.
