Jackson reportedly rented the home, located at 4 E. 74th St. between Fifth and Madison Avenues, in the late 90s, according to luxury real estate agent Adam Modlin.

The six-story townhouse is more than 100 years years old and was designed in the Beaux-Arts style by architect Alexander Welch, according to a listing with the Modlin Group. The home features 12,745 square feet of space and a total of 16 different rooms. Seven of the rooms are bedrooms and eight are bathrooms, according to the listing.

The King Of Pop rented the home for nearly a year between August 1999 and February 2000, the New York Times reported in 2000. Nearly sixty years before Jackson shacked up in the townhouse, influential 20th century artist Marc Chagall lived in an apartment on the building's top floor, according to the report.
