Meryl Streep's Former West Village Home Sells For $17 Million

WEST VILLAGE, NY — The legendary actress Meryl Streep lived at 19 West 12th Street for a decade from 1995 to 2005, before selling the townhouse for $9.1 million to an heiress. The West Village home has changed hands a couple of times in the years since, but the home just sold for $17.25 million to a limited liability company, according to property records.

While it is still an incredibly steep price tag, it actually is just half of what frozen food mogul Elisabeth de Kergorlay originally listed the property for in 2016, reported The Real Deal.

Streep, the three-time Oscar winner, bought the property for $2.1 million in 1995. Kergorlay purchased the West Village townhouse in 2008 for $13.5 million in 2008, according to The Real Deal.

The five-story home first built in 1845 has five bedrooms, six fireplaces, floor-to-ceiling windows, a planted roof garden, a 25-foot skylight, and many other luxurious elements.

Here's how an old listing on Realtor.com describes the property.

"A meticulously restored 1845 Greek Revival elevator townhouse on one of the best blocks of Greenwich Village's landmark-protected Gold Coast. At 25' wide on a 106' lot, the 5 story house measures 6,750 sf with a 1,250 sf basement and 2,750 sf of beautifully landscaped gardens and terraces. With a rich architectural, social and cultural history, 19 West 12th Street has been home to luminaries in the fields of law, the performing arts and philanthropy. The light-flooded Parlor floor includes a gracious Entry, a well-proportioned Living Room, and a Dining Room that overlooks a Terrace through a wall of French doors. A Wet-Bar and Powder Room complete this floor. Upstairs are 3 large bedrooms, each with an en-suite travertine Bathroom and ample closets, a Library/Media Room, a Study, and a Powder Room. The Fifth floor boasts a dramatic sky-lit Master Bedroom Suite with ceilings rising to 15', an adjacent sky-lit Dressing Room, and an oversized Master Bathroom finished in fine Calacatta marble. A Roof Garden enjoys expansive views of the southern city skyline."
