A New York City townhouse owned by disgraced comedian Bill Cosby has been listed for $7 million, even though the property is at the center of a foreclosure fight.
The New York Post reports Cosby put the four-story, 5,000-square-foot property on the market four months after he was accused by CitiMortgage of defaulting on a $4.2 million loan. CitiMortgage alleged Cosby and his wife owe $3.7 million in principal on the loan, along with interest and fees. Another lender, First Foundation Bank, accused Cosby of defaulting on a $17.5 million loan for a second New York City townhouse that he owns.
Cosby acquired the newly listed property in 1980 for $1.2 million. The listing does not identify Cosby’s ownership, noting that it was a “distinguished 19th-century townhouse, a true architectural gem located in the heart of Lenox Hill’s iconic Treadwell Farm Historic District. Offering a generous 20-foot-wide footprint and spanning 5, 000 square feet, this six-bedroom, six-bath residence defines timeless urban sophistication.”
