The New York City townhouse where Katharine Hepburn lived for more than 60 years has had its price reduced for the fourth time since hitting the market.<\/p>\n

The Turtle Bay property, on Manhattan\u2019s east side, is now asking US$6.195 million (approximately A$9.8 million), down from its original US$7.2 million (A$11.4 million) listing price in 2024.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Katharine reportedly owned the home from 1931 \u2013 just before her Hollywood breakthrough \u2013 until her death at age 96 in 2003.<\/p>\n

The actress holds the record for the most Academy Awards won by any performer, with four Best Actress wins across a career spanning five decades.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

According to Mansion Global<\/a>, her estate sold the property in 2004 for US$3.9 million (A$6.2 million). The current owner is now seeking a return after more than two decades of ownership.<\/p>\n

The 19-foot-wide townhouse spans approximately 4,600 square feet across multiple levels.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Features include a stone-tiled entrance foyer, an eat-in kitchen with custom cabinetry, a butler\u2019s pantry, and a dining room with the original marble wood-burning fireplace.<\/p>\n

The formal living room has a Juliet balcony, while the library features floor-to-ceiling windows.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The primary suite includes its own wood-burning fireplace, high ceilings, and a bathroom with a claw-foot soaking tub. <\/p>\n

Katharine\u2019s original mirrored vanity remains in place.<\/p>\n

Outside, the property has a bi-level flagstone patio and landscaped garden with mature trees, flowering bushes and a fountain.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A wooden gate provides direct access to Turtle Bay Gardens, a private park shared by residents of the surrounding 20 townhomes.<\/p>\n

The home is listed<\/a> with Lisa Larson of Sotheby\u2019s International Realty \u2013 East Side Manhattan Brokerage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Oscar winner’s home of six decades is now asking US$6.195 million (A$9.8 million), down from US$7.2 million…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":174180,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[75,84,83,9,24,63],"class_list":["post-174179","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-manhattan","tag-manhattan","tag-manhattan-headlines","tag-manhattan-news","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/174179","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=174179"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/174179\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/174180"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=174179"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=174179"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=174179"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
