Another piece of real estate tied to Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward, the longtime lovebirds and icons of Hollywood’s Golden Age, has come to market. Over the summer, the pair’s Manhattan penthouse sold for $14 million after a bidding war. A newly listed unit, which the actors used as a private office and guest apartment, is located on the ground floor of the same Carnegie Hill building and asks $1.695 million. Newman, who died in 2008, and Woodward, who is 95, bought both units in the 1980s.
It’s the first time that the two-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bathroom maisonette has been available in more than four decades. Fans of the Long, Hot Summer stars will be thrilled to learn that the space is still decorated with the Oscar-winning couple’s own furnishings, as reported by the New York Post. Elegant four-poster beds grace the bedrooms, while country-style wooden dining tables and chairs are found in the green-tiled kitchen and in the open-plan living and dining room.
The dwelling’s entrance opens into a spacious foyer set up as a study, furnished with a stately wooden desk and a leather armchair. The adjacent living and dining room is lined with butter yellow walls and wood wainscoting, with built-in bookshelves interspersed between windows peeking out at the park. One bedroom has a peach-pink color scheme, while the smaller of the two is a crisp white, furnished with a red four-poster and a wicker armchair.
This is a more modest unit by comparison to Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward's two-bedroom penthouse in the same building, which featured sprawling terraces and formal rooms for entertaining. The co-op building on Fifth Avenue was designed by J.E.R. Carpenter in 1925 and boasts a 24-hour doorman, a fitness center, and views of Central Park. Last year, a Beverly Hills home that the stars rented in the 1960s listed for $45,000 a month.
