The "Sex and the City" cast and crew have something common to share in real life, may be bit of real estate news.
The show’s lead actress Sarah Jessica Parker recently listed her Village townhouse for $25 million.
Now, it’s the creator of the iconic characters of the "Sex and the City," Candace Bushnell. The writer, whose column was turned into a television series and later into two films, has listed her Manhattan pad for a reported $2.8 million.
According to the Daily Mail, the apartment was a wreck when Bushnell and her dancer husband Charles Askegard moved in in 2005. But she transformed it into a glossy Plaza look-a-like, marble-filled home, which she “thinks of with enormous pleasure.”
But after splitting from her husband of nine years due to his alleged affair with a co-star, Bushnell seems to want to get rid of old memories.
The apartment is located in East 9th street Manhattan and in a building dating back to the 1920s. The pad has two bedrooms and one and a half bathrooms. It also has a working fireplace.
On moving into the pad, Bushnell wrote in Elle Decor, “I'm the kind of person who would have liked to have lived at the Plaza. I love crystal chandeliers and gold leaf, velvets and mirrors, Oriental rugs and marble. I love things that are old and glittery, that come with layers of glamour and past lives. So the moment my husband and I walked into our apartment for the first time…, we knew that this was it.”
According to Bushnell, the pad was considered to have all the latest amenities back in the 20s. “There were servants’ quarters on the top floor, and, in the basement, extensive kitchens from which young men could order dinner which was sent up in a dumbwaiter. It was all very Jeeves & Wooster, reeking of late-night parties and illicit affairs, bathtub gin and jazz,” the Daily Mail reported.
However, once the sale is finalized, Bushnell will not only bidding adieu to her luxury pad, but also to her neighbor Chris North, Mr Big in the Sex and the City.
