Music legend and founder of the Beatles, John Lennon, is now selling his Manhattan Penthouse, ‘lost weekend’ with an asking price of $5.5 million. Lennon lived in the home in the 70s with his then mistress May Pang, for about 18 months.
The three-story apartment is located at 434 East 52nd Street, Sutton Place. It’s where Lennon had some of his iconic Photos taken, wearing his ‘New York City’ T-shirts in 1974.
Since the shining days of the Beatles, the home has been renovated from the pre-war architecture to a more contemporary design.
It comes with three floors, four bathrooms, five bedrooms, and four fireplaces. The entry-level features a lavish living room with inlaid wood floors and high ceilings, and a vast chef’s kitchen with a ‘French Vibe’. There’s also a corner library and dining that could fit about 20 people.
The second level features two master bathrooms, the master suite with 14-foot ceilings, a fireplace, and a smaller bedroom. A two-level dressing room with rotating cloth racks is also present on this level.
The lowest floor features a ‘self-contained’ one-bedroom apartment with its own private entrance, a kitchen, and a living room. The new homeowners will be happy to find that the building is pet-friendly. It also comes with a full-time doorman, landscaped gardens at the end of the cul-de-sac.
The highlight of the home is a wrap-around terrace with multiple access points from each room at the main level. It also offers amazing views of the East River, New York City, and the amazing nighttime lights.
While John Lennon eventually moved out of the home and moved back with his wife, the home still bears with it a lot of rock history. It’s now up for sale at $5.5 million.
The listing agents are Lauren Cangiano and Alisha Lloyd-Hudson of Brow Harris Stevens, New York.
