Inside the $7.45 million Gilded Age unit.
Jessica Chastain is making some major real-estate moves this summer. Fresh off the heels of receiving her honorary doctorate from The Juilliard School, the Academy Award-winning actress is offloading her Manhattan apartment to the tune of $7.45 million. Located in the Osborne Apartments, a legacy apartment complex south of Central Park, the three-bedroom, one-bathroom unit is a design lover's dream. According to Cathy Taub and Ellen Kapit of Sotheby’s International Realty, who are representing the listing, this unit is the "crown jewel of the legendary Osborne Apartments."
Built in 1885, the unit boasts a handful of intricate design details that harken back to the Gilded Age. Rich mahogany paneling? Plaster crown molding? Fourteen-foot-high ceilings? All of the above, and then some. In fact, the unit features Tiffany glass was created by Louis Comfort Tiffany, which is thought to be Tiffany's first decorating job. The home was reportedly renovated by New York-based design firm Carrier & Co., bringing a modern touch to the space without comprising its rich historical details. If $7.45 million is slightly outside your budget, we're offering an up-close-and-personal look at the star-studded residence.
Think of the Osborne Apartments as a New York icon—and for good reason. Not only was this building one of the first luxury apartment complexes in the metropolis, but it was also rumored that famed composer Leonard Bernstein has a unit here. Oh, and did we mention it's a New York City landmark?
Between the whimsical wallpaper and the intricate millwork, this apartment building oozes an old-school charm from the moment you step inside.
Mosey onto the living area, which is the epitome of Gilded Age elegance. In this sunny, sage green space, restored mahogany paneling and elaborately carved doorways and windows beautifully juxtapose a bay window with Tiffany Studio-created leaded glass transoms. The result? A common area that commands attention.
Business meets pleasure in this parlor, which could definitely double as a home office. Decked out with a dramatically tiled fireplace, we certainly wouldn't mind burning the midnight oil here!
Since the apartment has nine rooms in total, this apartment unit has plenty of space for bonus areas. As far as we're concerned, this red room could double as an excellent home theater. We even know the perfect producer-slash-actor to get some movie recommendations from...
Lacquered wainscoted walls, built-in window seats, and a roaring fireplace—let's face it: Chastain's formal dining room is dinner party-ready. Just imagine who the Molly Game's actress would invite to a star-studded supper.
The eat-in kitchen appeals to all of the senses, thanks to the high ceilings, colorful island, and a rolling ladder that's a fun-meets-functional addition. Bon appetite!
They say Manhattan is the city that never sleeps, but the upholstered canopy and assortment of vintage-looking furniture makes this bedroom downright dreamy. Simply kick back, relax, and lull yourself into a stylish slumber.
This primary bathroom might be small, but with a light-drenched vanity and stone detailing throughout, it's certainly built for someone with serious star power.
