Famous talk show host and interior decorator, Nate Berkus, has reportedly sold his Greenwich Village duplex apartment for $5 million. He marketed the place as a private listing and has now managed to sell it off for a slight profit.
Berkus purchased the home in 2011 for around $4.5 million. According to The New York Observer, Alexander Gilkes, founder of Paddle8 - the online auction house, is the buyer. He purchased the Greenwich Village co-op with his wife, Misha Nonoo.
The residence is a 3000 square feet co-op spread on two floors of a townhouse. The residence has three bedrooms on the upper floor while the lower level houses the living room, the dining area, the kitchen and a living room. The residence also has a 1000 square feet 'private deck space.'
The home was featured in the November 2012 issue of the Architectural Digest. Find the photos of the home in the link below.
An excerpt from the Digest reads:
"... after a period of renting a loftlike space in a mod Jean Nouvel-designed tower overlooking the Hudson River. "I always had this New York fantasy of living in a glass high-rise," he says, adding that he relocated from Chicago three years ago to film The Nate Berkus Show (no longer in production). It turns out panoramic views and sleek surfaces didn't suit him. "While I respect contemporary architecture a great deal, I was uncomfortable from the moment I moved in," he recalls. "I felt like I was living on a shelf."
His current address, discovered after several restless nights searching real-estate listings, was far from perfect when he found it, distinguished not by venerable millwork or original fixtures but by walls of whitewashed brick."
Berkus also recently sold his other one bedroom, one bathroom condo in Manhattan for $699,000. He had a Chicago condo up on the market that also managed to sell for $1.6 million in January.
Berkus has now moved to Los Angeles with his fiancé, Jeremiah Brent. They recently opened doors of their home to the Harper Bazaar magazine. Their new abode is a beautiful lair done in classic moody colors - black, brown, green, grey and white.

Berkus is gearing up for his NBC home renovation reality show "The American Dream Builders (see bottom)" that is slated to premiere this fall.
