Another chapter in the life of Jennifer Lopez has finally closed.
The star singer and actress, who appears to be splitting with Ben Affleck, has sold her Madison Square Park penthouse in New York City — seven years after she first put it on the market — for $23 million, according to city property data.
The magnificent duplex under the roof, at 21 E. 26th St., is a spacious 6,540 square feet. It comes with four bedrooms, 6 ½ bathrooms and almost 3,000 square feet of outdoor space over four terraces on two levels, including a croquet pitch, a landscaped roof deck and a putting green.
It first asked for $26.95 million in 2017, according to StreetEasy data, and bounced on and off the market in subsequent years under two separate brokerages.
The ritzy residence is one floor above the unit where Chelsea Clinton and her family live. The residence went into contract in April, as Gimme Shelter exclusively reported. The closing — recorded Monday — was first reported by The Real Deal.
The luxury penthouse first hit the market for $26.95 million in 2017, three years after Lopez paid $20.1 million for it, as Gimme Shelter exclusively reported at the time. It is in a six-storey neo-Georgian building containing only four units. Past and present residents of the boutique condo also include four-time NASCAR Cup Series champion Jeff Gordon and media mogul and television personality Dan Abrams.
The building, which dates to 1924, features design details like 12-foot-6-inch high ceilings and white oak floors.
The Lopez Residence opens from a private keyed elevator to a great room with a glass roof and a wall of Palladian windows.
French doors lead to a terrace overlooking the park. The footage also features the Flatiron Building and the MetLife Clock Tower.
The penthouse is also prepared for entertaining. The public floor features an open chef’s kitchen with a breakfast bar, two wine fridges holding more than 100 bottles and an additional dining and lounge area. This floor also comes with a guest wing of three bedrooms, with ensuite bathrooms.
Upstairs, there is a master bedroom suite with two ensuite bathrooms, a large dressing room with floor-to-ceiling wardrobes and two private terraces. The floor also has a media room that opens onto a terrace with multiple seating areas.
The listing agents were Chris Pomeroy and Richard Orenstein of Brown Harris Stevens.
