Former home of Billie Holiday hits market at $14M

Posted On September 09th, 2022.

There’s been a jazzy addition to the New York City housing market.

The former Upper West Side home of Billie Holiday has been listed for $14 million.

While living in the home, Holiday released one of her most famous albums, “Lady in Satin,” in 1958. She lived in the brownstone until her death the next year at age 44.

The 20-foot wide townhouse is six levels and 6,300 square feet. Kelly Killoren Bensimon of Douglas Elliman has the listing.

The residence has seven bedrooms, six bathrooms and two powder rooms along with a curated backyard garden. It is steps from Central Park and the reservoir.

The townhouse has undergone some changes since Holiday resided there. It was purchased for $9.475 million in 2017 and underwent a renovation designed by architect Amie Sachs, formerly of Annabelle Selldorf Architects, with interior design by Fawn Galli.
