According to real estate experts, the price, which they claimed is slightly low is because of its lower placement, especially with it being located on the second floor of the building.
20th century home
The listing of the home described the property as “ideal for a discerning client who will delight in owning the former home and sanctuary of one of the 20th century’s most significant and highly admired icons; an artist, designer, writer and true renaissance woman.”
Daily Mail UK reported that the price of the house does not include the R56 570 monthly maintenance fee that comes along with owning the home.
Two people, namely Ileen Schoenfeld and Aracely Moran of Brown Harris Stevens, are the people responsible for listing.
The magnificent property also has a newly completed fitness centre, bike storage and has easy access to the East River promenade
Cooper's late mother, Vanderbilt died on June 17, 2019, at the age of 95.
