Goldie Hawn likes West 57th Street. The actress already has a high-floor apartment on the street and she recently took a look at another one.
Hawn paid a visit to a four-bedroom, four-bathroom, 54th-floor condo at the Sheffield building at 322 W. 57th St. The 3,417-square-foot residence includes a library, a formal dining room and a family room. And it’s just down the block from Hawn’s condo at the Central Park Place building.
The Sheffield is the condo conversion that famously gave developer Kent Swig quite the headache. One of Swig’s business partners on the project, Yair Levy, was arrested in 2008 after attacking Swig with an ice bucket. In 2009, Swig lost control of the building to creditor Fortress.
Live-work space
Celebrity criminal-defense lawyer Mark Geragos has big plans for the 12,960-square-foot commercial building at 256 Fifth Ave., which he recently bought for $8 million. Geragos intends to build a triplex residential penthouse on top, and his office will also be in the 1893 building, which can be can be expanded to nearly 25,000 square feet and also comes with a whopping 11,700 square feet of air rights.
Crown Design’s Anthony Milano is renovating the building. The proposed residential penthouse addition will be 3,600 square feet and set to the rear of the building, so it is out of sight. The hope is that not making it visible from the street will make it easier to obtain landmark status, sources say.
There are also plans to restore a balcony and the building’s storefront space.
Geragos’ clients have included Michael Jackson, Winona Ryder, Diddy and Chris Brown.
Park peek
Model Kendra Spears is the latest pretty face to check out apartments at One Brooklyn Bridge Park. Spears recently visited a three-bedroom, 2 1/2-bathroom condo listed for $1.8 million.
One Brooklyn Bridge Park is already home to supermodel Shalom Harlow, who bought a 1,385-square- foot unit for $1.275 million in 2010. Other residents include actor/comedian JB Smoove and former New York Jet John Dockery.
MNS, the exclusive sales firm for the building, did not return calls.
Sutton impact
Legal eagle Alan Dershowitz is spreading his wings to a Sutton Place co-op.
The prominent lawyer/author has purchased a three-bedroom, 2 1/2-bathroom corner apartment at 45 Sutton Place South. The co-op was listed for $1.895 million.
The 1,800-square-foot unit, which was designed by John Saladino and has East River views, was once owned by catalog queen Lillian Vernon.
Listing broker Lawrence Rich of Prudential Douglas Elliman declined to comment.
Sound the trumpet
Chart-topping jazz trumpeter Chris Botti is hunting for a deluxe bachelor pad. He recently paid a visit, with his pal Carole Radziwill of Bravo’s “The Real Housewives of New York City” in tow, to a two-bedroom, 2 1/2-bathroom, 2,024-square-foot condo at 111 Mercer St. that’s on the market for $4.25 million.
Our spies say that the pair did not appear affectionate but that Botti was definitely interested in Radziwill’s opinion.
The four units in the newly renovated SoHo development have been on the market for less than two weeks, and there are already contracts out for two apartments.
Listing brokers John Gomes and Fredrik Eklund of Prudential Douglas Elliman declined to comment.
