Apartment deals in NYC - Supermodel Gisele

Super-model / super-mom Gisele Bündchen has sold her New York City home for almost $14 million.

Gisele Bündchen has finally found a buyer for her 42 Barrow Street townhouse in West Village. The house has been on the market since September for $13.95 million; Gisele paid only $5.8 million for it in 2005.

Though we don't yet know the final sales price, at least Gisele's list-to-sale time is improving: it took her two years and a $6.5 million chop to find a buyer for the 347 West 11th Street triplex penthouse that finally sold last month.

The latest listing price of $4.5 million was less than half the original, September 2007 price tag.

Gisele bought the 1,700-square-foot condominium unit in 2002 for nearly $3 million, records show.

The two-bedroom, two-bath condo overlooks the Hudson River from each of its three floors and has among its special features a high-tech security system, a wood-burning fireplace and - perhaps not surprisingly, given Bündchen's Brazilian-birthplace - Brazilian-wood floors. The rooftop has a chef's grill and a party-sized hot tub.
