The Manhattan townhouse that was the studio and residence of Andy Warhol during the peak of his creative output has been listed for the first time in more than a decade for $6.95 million.
The New York Post reports the 19th century townhouse at 1342 Lexington Ave. was designed by the celebrated architect Henry Hardenbergh, who created two of the city’s most iconic buildings – the Plaza Hotel and the Dakota – and it encompasses 3,072 square feet with four bedrooms and four-and-a-half bathrooms. Warhol lived at the property from 1960 to 1972 and created some of his most celebrated works there, including the Campbell’s Soup Can series and his portraits of Marilyn Monroe.
The property last changed hands in 2013 for $5.5 million. The current owners never resided at the property, but instead leased it out – most recently, it was available as a $22,550-per-month rental last December.
