Gwyneth Paltrow nearly doubled her money when she and hubby Chris Martin sold their TriBeCa townhouse apartment for nearly $14 million. The New York Post’s Braden Keil reports the couple contracted to sell the 8,000-square-foot condo on Harrison Street that they purchased in May 2005 for $7.95 million. Paltrow and Martin closed last month on a penthouse for $5.1 million at the new River Lofts condo complex on Washington Street, about five blocks away from their Harrison Street unit.
After an April 10 fire destroyed the house once owned by Johnny Cash and his wife, June Carter Cash, former Bee Gee Barry Gibb said he plans to build a new home near the site. Gibb bought the home a year ago in Hendersonville, a suburb about 20 miles northeast of Nashville. “The original foundations shall be kept intact and preserved for the people of Hendersonville and the people of Nashville,” Gibb said in a statement.
Former tennis star Yannick Noah paid $500,000 for a studio unit adjacent to his duplex apartment at 230 Central Park South, according to the New York Post. Noah, 45, now a pop musician, bought the duplex after marrying his second wife, Victoria’s Secret model Heather Stewart-Whyte in 1995. The two divorced in 1999.
The Sutton Place apartment once owned by the late Patricia Kennedy Lawford, sister of President John F. Kennedy, was sold for close to its $12.7 million asking price. The New York Post reported Lawford bought the 11-room prewar co-op after divorcing her husband, the late Rat Pack actor Peter Lawford, in 1966. She died last September at age 82. The unit features river views from many rooms and includes five bedrooms, 5 1/2 baths, a large eat-in kitchen and a 31-foot living room with a wood-burning fireplace.
