The property Taylor Swift called home on Cornelia Street in New York City is up for sale, and it could be yours for $18-million US.
“Built in 1870 as a carriage house and transformed into a spectacular home with a modernist flair with a celebrity tested, drive-right-in garage and pool, nestled in the heart of the West Village,” the listing reads for the four bedroom, five-plus-two-bathroom townhouse.
Complete with three gas fireplaces, hardwood floors, a gym, a rooftop terrace with views of downtown and tons of space to entertain, it’s clear Swift loved the property enough to write her hit song “Cornelia Street” about it.
What else is inside?
The second floor of the property features a “spacious living room with beamed ceilings, blond parquet Russian Ipe wood floors, leaded glass windows and a wood-burning fireplace with a marble hearth,” while the kitchen features designer appliances, granite countertops and floor-to-ceiling casement windows that face the West Village.
Two bedrooms sweets are on the third floor, and each has their own private terrace. Down the hall is the main bedroom with a walk-in closet, a “dramatic marble bath,” skylights and a terrace that hosts an outdoor lounge and gas fireplace.
It’s a grand home, and one that cost $45,000 to rent per month last year — almost as high as the yearly property taxes for the home, which will cost the buyer $58,104 US per year.
Despite needing deep pockets, whoever buys the property will also likely need to have deep patience to deal with Swift’s biggest fans who flock to the property for photo-ops.
Swifties flock to Cornelia Street
In April, after she reportedly split with her long-term boyfriend, actor Joe Alwyn, Swifties made their way to the apartment to leave flowers by the door to mourn their relationship, as her song “Cornelia Street” is supposedly inspired by him.
At the time, Vulture reported some people were so distraught they threw up after learning of the split, while some locals said they were tired of kids from New Jersey coming to Cornelia Street with their parents to film videos outside Swift’s old apartment building.
“There’s always a group there. They’re crazy. They’re insane. They come in and they dance; it’s like a freak show. It’s so insipid and shallow,” one local resident said.
