The off-market sale saw the duplex trade for $19.5 million, according to city records. Leibovitz is best known for her iconic portraits of household names, from John Lennon and Yoko Ono to Queen Elizabeth.<\/p>\n
The 76-year-old purchased the industrial-style penthouse at 495 West St. just last May from artist Helen Marden. The similarly off-market deal totaled $16.5 million.<\/p>\n

The home\u2019s newest owner, identified as Monochromatic LLC and addressed to the property, is an unknown entity.<\/p>\n
The duplex in question spans roughly 4,700 square feet in the boutique building, the Wall Street Journal previously reported<\/a>. The condominium hosts just nine loft-style units across 11 stories, with large rows of windows and Hudson River views. It\u2019s unclear whether Leibovitz ever resided in the penthouse or opted to rent it out.<\/p>\n In addition to her celebrated career filled with celebrity portraits and front-cover photoshoots, Leibovitz is prolific in the world of real estate.<\/p>\n She racked up significant sales throughout 2024, including a $10.62 million apartment<\/a> on the Upper West Side and a $8.45 million Bay Area horse farm<\/a>. Leibovitz reportedly still maintains a massive estate in upstate Rhinebeck.<\/p>\n Leibovitz notably sold a Civil War-era West Village compound in 2014 to David and Lauren Bush. The $28.5 million transaction followed a now-settled dispute<\/a> over a loan on the property.<\/p>\n This isn\u2019t even Leibovitz\u2019s first transaction inside 495 West. She previously owned a full-floor unit spanning 3,200 square feet that functioned as a live-work artist\u2019s studio. She purchased the\u00a0space<\/a> in 2022 for $6.5 million, only to sell it two years later<\/a> for $8 million. <\/p>\n That brings her total returns at the riverside building to an impressive $4.5 million.<\/p>\n Leibovitz could not be reached for comment by press time. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Legendary portrait photographer Annie Leibovitz has sold her Manhattan penthouse for a $3 million profit after less than…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":153081,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[63693,1022,9,24,63,122,124,123,1491,3006,2380],"class_list":{"0":"post-153080","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-queens","8":"tag-annie-leibovitz","9":"tag-celebrity-real-estate","10":"tag-new-york","11":"tag-new-york-city","12":"tag-nyc","13":"tag-queens","14":"tag-queens-headlines","15":"tag-queens-news","16":"tag-real-estate","17":"tag-residential-real-estate","18":"tag-west-village"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/153080","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=153080"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/153080\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/153081"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=153080"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=153080"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=153080"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"A](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/495-west-st-new-york-122758767.jpg\")
