Superior Ink in the West Village- new home for Designer Marc Jacobs

Marc Jacobs and his boyfriend Lorenzo Martone just bought townhouse at Superior Ink in the West Village, for which they paid $10.4 million and got it as a "white box" of empty space.
The Bethune Street townhouse has nearly 4,400 square feet and comes with a private elevator,
rear terrace and yard and a roof terrace, and connects to the garage for ultimate privacy. While Marc’s new home undergoes a complete interior design installation by Thad Hayes (it should take about a year to complete) he will be spending the next year in former New York Ranger Scott Gomez’s apartment in Chelsea. Marc, who has been living in the Mercer Hotel for some time, will move into his temporary digs soon.

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.
