This past November, Stacy London opened her Carroll Gardens two-bedroom to the public for a ticketed estate sale. Her Kusama glass pumpkins and framed art, a gazillion statement earrings and rings, a bedazzled “V.I.P” cap and racks and racks of clothes — all for the taking. “I am sort of blowing up my life,” the former What Not to Wear host told People at the time. Now, she’s saying “bye” to the apartment, too.
London’s co-op at 57 3rd Street went on the market on Thursday, with Compass broker Beth Gittleman listing the property for a buck shy of $2 million. When the future QVC designer moved into the place in 2006, she apparently knocked down all the walls to make it, in London’s telling, “a duplex loft with no doors.” (Soho’s influence on London clearly went beyond fashion.)
The two-bedroom, two-bath’s layout is what you might expect from London. The lower level (which does, in fact, have doors) comes with two walk-in closets, a shoe closet with racks up to the ceiling, and a custom dressing room with a vanity and teal-green paint job on the hardwood floors. Also on the first floor: one of the apartment’s two bathrooms and a massive bedroom. (“Nobody needs to worry about how they’re storing the stuff,” Gittleman says of the many, many closets.) Upstairs, it’s lofted ceilings and a working marble fireplace, the living-dining areas, and a home office. (The second bed might be a matter of losing the dining area or ditching the office.) There are other nice perks, including private outdoor space that doubles as parking and central A/C in a prewar building.
Gittleman declined to share the reason behind London’s move, but 20 years is a long time to live in one place, at least among the semi-famous in New York. London is 56 now and reunited with her What Not to Wear co-host, Clinton Kelly, for a new show on Prime Video, so maybe she’s just ready for change. And if your budget is a little more Rent the Runway than major mortgage, the apartment can apparently be leased, too — for $9,500 a month.
London’s dressing room, as seen in this photo, is very Stacy London.
