The fifth star of ‘Sex and the City sold for $9.85 million

The tales of ‘Sex and the City’ wouldn’t have been as fun and entertaining without Carrie Bradshaw’s home.  The sweet memories of Carrie Bradshaw tip toeing through her apartment in her Manolo Blahnik's will always stay fresh in our minds.

The well-known apartment at 64 Perry Street located in Manhattan’s West Village now has a new owner.  The apartment sold for $9.85 million  earlier this month to an anonymous buyer.  The New York Observer noted that in city records it is listed as MMKK Perry Street Realty LLC.

On SATC the apartment is shown to be a lot smaller than what it actually is.  Carrie lived in a one-bedroom apartment with a small kitchen and a decent sized living room.  In reality, the home is at about 4,104 square feet that includes five-bedrooms, a basement, a sun room, and a backyard!

Carrie played a freelance journalist with a never-ending addiction to expensive footwear.  There was no way she would’ve ever been able to afford such a luxurious pad!  In March, the property was listed for $9.65 million with Sotheby Realty.  The home was previously bought less than a year ago for $9 million.  How’s that for a nice profit?  I hope the new owners are ready for incessant tours and passersby.

The SATC fanatics will never forget the façade of Carrie’s old apartment.  The unforgettable scene of Carrie telling Mr. Big that she doesn’t live here anymore because she’s moving to Paris with her lover Alexander Petrovsky will forever stick in our minds.

 The original setting for many scenes on SATC (shown below) were shot at 64 Perry Street.  The show was actually supposed to be on the Upper East Side.  Producers then moved next door to 66 Perry Street.

According to a New York Times feature, the 1866 home isn’t just famous for SATC.  It was built by architect Robert Mook and it was also used for a six-decade romance between documentary filmmaker Wheaton Galentine architect Harold Eliot Leeds.
