Andy Cohen Lists His West Village Residence for $14 Million
In a move echoing his vibrant presence in the world of reality television, Andy Cohen is parting ways with his long-time residence in New York City, a property that has become synonymous with his success. According to The New York Times, the host of Watch What Happens Live has placed his expansive 3,500-square-foot home on the market, priced at $14 million. He has enlisted the help of real estate mogul Ryan Serhant, known for his appearances on Bravo’s Million Dollar Listing and currently featured on Netflix’s Owning Manhattan.
Cohen’s property is nestled within a historic prewar building designed by the architectural firm Bing & Bing. Over the years, Cohen has transformed the residence into a unique living space by merging four separate units he acquired since 2003. Architectural modifications by Gordon Kahn introduced a striking glass, walnut, and steel staircase, connecting the two floors of the duplex. The home boasts three bedrooms, an office, a den, and a suite for a nanny, in addition to features like wood-burning fireplaces and a steam room.
During the pandemic, Cohen and Serhant established a close friendship, as their families created a communal pod. This connection likely contributed to Serhant’s enthusiasm for the listing, with him recalling, “The first time I ever walked into Andy’s apartment, I said, ‘Whenever you are willing to part with this, even if I have to pull it from your grip, please let me know because it’s a one of one.’”
So, why is Cohen moving on from a home he has meticulously tailored to his tastes? Reports indicate that Cohen is seeking outdoor space, a luxury that has become particularly appealing for city dwellers. It appears he has already secured his next abode: a lavish $18 million duplex penthouse in the West Village purchased in 2022. This expansive residence offers an impressive 2,000-square-foot terrace that complements its interior space of 3,000 square feet, providing the outdoor environment he desires.
When asked about the possibility of Cohen appearing on Netflix’s Owning Manhattan for an episode centered on the sale, Serhant remained noncommittal. “Bravo and Netflix might have an issue with that,” he remarked. “But it would be like Deadpool and Wolverine, real estate style. That’s basically the two of us.”
