Jennifer Lopez Sells New York Penthouse for $25 Million
Jennifer Lopez, the multi-talented singer and actress, has bid farewell to her penthouse located in front of Madison Square Park in Manhattan. The luxurious duplex, situated at The Whitman at 21 E. 26th St., was sold for $25 million, though the final sales price and the identity of the buyer remain confidential.
Originally listed for $26.95 million in 2017, the property was bought by Lopez for $20.1 million three years prior. Despite fluctuations in the market, the sale price remained relatively stable, according to StreetEasy records.
The Whitman, a six-story Neo-Georgian mansion with only four units, has been home to notable figures such as Chelsea Clinton, her husband Marc Mezvinsky, and NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon.
Following the sale, Lopez and her partner Ben Affleck have been spotted exploring properties on the Upper East Side. The couple was recently seen enjoying brunch with Matt Damon and his wife, Luciana, at Sadelle’s in Soho as Lopez delves into new projects despite ticket sales for her current tour facing challenges.
The penthouse spans the top two floors of the boutique condominium, boasting four bedrooms, 6.5 bathrooms, and nearly 10,000 square feet of outdoor space across four terraces, including a croquet lawn and a garden terrace.
Equipped with state-of-the-art home automation technology, the residence features a spacious living room with a skylight and Palladian-style windows. French doors open to a terrace overlooking the park, accompanied by a well-appointed kitchen with a breakfast bar and two wine refrigerators.
The master suite on the upper level includes two spa-style bathrooms, a walk-in closet, and private terraces. Additional amenities include a media room and a dedicated doorman, lobby, and private storage.
The sale of Jennifer Lopez’s penthouse not only signals the end of an era in New York but also underscores her ongoing interest in the city’s luxury real estate market. Amidst the sale, Lopez’s relationship with Ben Affleck continues to flourish, with the singer recently releasing a documentary expressing their enduring love and compatibility.
