Little Steven is taking a big leap of faith.<\/p>\n
Steven Van Zandt, the bandana-clad E Street Band<\/a> guitarist who played mob consigliere Silvio Dante on \u201cThe Sopranos,\u201d has listed his Greenwich Village penthouse inside a former church <\/a>for $18.995 million, The Post has learned. <\/p>\n The duplex sits at the top of Novare, a boutique condo at 135 W. Fourth St., a short stroll from Washington Square Park. The block lands where three downtown neighborhoods collide, with the West Village and SoHo both a few minutes away on foot. Mark D. Friedman and Richard Rosenthal of Brown Harris Stevens are handling the sale.<\/p>\n Steven Van Zandt is ready to give up his sanctuary in Greenwich Village.

MW Studio for Brown Harris Stevens<\/p>\n The E Street Band guitarist and \u201cSopranos\u201d alum has put his duplex penthouse at 135 W. Fourth St. on the market for $18.995 million. MW Studio for Brown Harris Stevens<\/p>\n It\u2019s the home\u2019s second go-round this year. The same apartment hit the market in June at $15 million with Philip Hordijk of Leven Real Estate, which makes the fresh ask a roughly 27% jump in less than four months.<\/p>\n Van Zandt, 75, and his wife, actress Maureen Van Zandt, paid $6 million for the pad in 2008 , not long after the HBO mob drama wrapped. The Post reported at the time that the couple had put in an offer. \u00a0At the new number, a sale would fetch more than triple what they spent.<\/p>\n The apartment first surfaced in June at $15 million, so the new ask is nearly $4 million higher.

MW Studio for Brown Harris Stevens<\/p>\n The building has a past as colorful as its owner. It went up in 1860 as the Washington Square Methodist Church, nicknamed the Peace Church. Developer Flank reworked the house of worship into eight apartments in 2006, preserving its stained glass and a 50-foot atrium.<\/p>\n Van Zandt\u2019s unit measures about 3,500 square feet, which pencils out to roughly $5,400 a foot. The top floor is the party deck, with ceilings that climb 20 feet, old wooden rafters, jewel-toned church windows and steel ductwork left in plain view. A kitchen with a checkerboard backsplash anchors the room, and a folding glass wall leads to a 500-square-foot terrace with its own outdoor cooking setup.<\/p>\n \u201cThis duplex has one of the most inspired outdoor spaces in the city,\u201d Friedman told The Post.<\/p>\n The spread covers about 3,500 square feet.

MW Studio for Brown Harris Stevens<\/p>\n \u201cThe sellers hope the next owner will enjoy this unique slice of NYC as much as they have over the last 18 years,\u201d Friedman told The Post. MW Studio for Brown Harris Stevens<\/p>\n The listing counts three bedrooms and three baths, though the third bedroom is currently a media den sandwiched between two suites downstairs. The salvaged church glass carries through to the lower floor, and the layout leaves room for a studio or an extra lounge.<\/p>\n It\u2019s a fitting crash pad for a guy with a resume this crowded. Van Zandt joined Bruce Springsteen\u2019s band in 1975, walked away in 1984 and came back for good in 1999. He landed the Silvio role with no acting experience, and HBO turned his life into the 2024 documentary \u201cStevie Van Zandt: Disciple.\u201d He also fronts his own outfit, the Disciples of Soul.<\/p>\n He isn\u2019t the first boldface name in the building. Jude Law once rented a different penthouse there, a unit that went on to seek $12.5 million in 2015.<\/p>\n From left, musicians Nils Lofgren, Bruce Springsteen and Stevie Van Zandt perform with Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band at the Los Angeles Sports Arena in Los Angeles on Tuesday, March 15, 2016.

Pink paid $21.5 million for a townhouse on West 11th Street this year, while Gracie Abrams picked up a second penthouse at 1 Fifth Avenue for $4.5 million.<\/p>\n \u201cThe sellers hope the next owner will enjoy this unique slice of NYC as much as they have over the last 18 years,\u201d Friedman said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Little Steven is taking a big leap of faith.
