Sarah Jessica Parker is still on the prowl for a new nest in the city.
She recently toured the $20 million triplex penthouse at 419 Broome St., the 19th century cast-iron building where Heath Ledger died in his rental apartment.
Since then, the SoHo building has been converted into condos. Three residences and a commercial duplex (with a combined asking price of $19.8 million) have gone into contract. Only the penthouse is still on the market.
It’s 7,634 square feet inside, with two bedrooms and 3½ bathrooms, and comes with 3,445 square feet of terrace space (including a hot tub, an outdoor shower and dining areas).
The apartment’s great room features 24-foot ceilings, and the unit also has two kitchens, two home offices and, for the fashion-minded, a master-bedroom suite with two dressing areas. Parking is also available for purchase, with a driveway entrance from Crosby Street.
Corcoran Group listing brokers Darren Kearns and Jim Farah declined to comment.
Suite Jesus
Now that model/Madonna boy toy Jesus Luz has broken up with the Material Mom, he’s out of her fabulous Georgian mansion on the Upper East Side and is looking for his own — more modest but still luxurious — digs.
Our spies spotted Luz at the new Beatrice rental building, on 29th Street and Sixth Avenue, with luxury apartments directly above the Eventi hotel. The rental apartments, which begin on the 26th floor, start at around $3,000 per month for a studio. Three-bedroom penthouses are around $20,000.
Going for the record
A wealthy couple is quietly asking an astonishing — and what would be record-breaking — $2.5 million in annual rent for their Gold Coast mansion. The six-story limestone residence in the East 80s is 17,676 square feet. It sold in 1995 for just $6 million — $339 per square foot. The mansion was commissioned by Frank Woolworth and built by C.P.H. Gilbert nearly 100 years ago.
The owners, who do not wish to be named, will leave priceless antiques and furniture in the rental. At least two brokers have shown the mansion so far — including Warburg’s Richard Steinberg, the latest star of HGTV’s “Selling New York.” Steinberg declined to comment.
We hear . . .
That Louise Sunshine, the grande dame of luxury-condo marketing, took the children of Corcoran Group CEO Pam Liebman on a shopping spree at Calypso in South Beach over the holidays . . . That developer Joe Farrell has already received multiple bids to barter a Manhattan apartment for one of his custom-built Hamptons homes in the $3 million to $6 million range. But he hasn’t accepted any offers yet — he’s looking for an Upper East Side pied-a-terre for his family.
Hayes bows out
It was dramatic enough for a TV/Broadway star, and now Sean Hayes’ former Theater District penthouse rental is back on the market for $8,000 a month. Hayes, best known for “Will & Grace,” is back on the West Coast now that “Promises, Promises” has closed.
The furnished two-bedroom, two-bathroom penthouse is on the 60th floor of the Orion on West 42nd Street. We’re told that Hayes enjoyed the 1,200-square-foot apartment’s great city and river views from the 10-foot-high floor-to-ceiling windows. The doorman building includes an on-site garage and an 8,200-square-foot La Palestra fitness center.
Corcoran Group listing broker Debra Kavaler would not comment on the listing.
