It has been a decade since the death of David Bowie, and yet his impact on music \u2014 and on culture, full stop \u2014 is still being hotly debated. A new anthology, Blackstar Rising and the Purple Reign<\/a>, explores the posthumous legacies of both Bowie and Prince, and several<\/a> retrospectives<\/a> on Bowie\u2019s final album Blackstar appeared earlier this year. And now, a very different part of his legacy is available for someone with seven figures\u2019 worth of cash on hand: the condo on Central Park South that Bowie called home for 10 years.<\/p>\n

As Michelle Cohen reports<\/a> at 6sqft, the residence where Bowie and his wife Iman lived is now on the market. It\u2019s an apartment located within the J.W. Marriott Essex House<\/a>, a building known for its Art Deco architecture and its distinctive sign, which has been open to the public since 1931. This particular condo also features excellent views of Central Park, which is an excellent amenity in its own right.<\/p>\n

Bowie\u2019s former home has an asking price of $4.95 million. That\u2019s quite a bit less than it was listed at when it was previously on the market in 2017<\/a>. Then again, the buyer that year had one very enticing incentive: a piano previously owned by Bowie was also part of the sale. <\/p>\n

In a 2003 essay<\/a> for New York, Bowie wrote about his experience of living in New York City. \u201cI\u2019m here most of the year now,\u201d he wrote. \u201cI leave only if work demands it. (I\u2019ve read the rumors about how I have houses elsewhere, but this is it.) I am not a secretive guy, but I am quite private. I live as a citizen pure and simple.\u201d Looking at this apartment, it\u2019s easy to see how he did it.<\/p>\n
