“Saturday Night Live” alumna Rachel Dratch bought a Gramercy Park co-op for $1.6 million based on the property records filed with the city Monday, The Real Deal reported.
The property is a co-op at 230 East 15th Street in Gramercy with a not so impressing decor and utilitarian vibe. It features two bedrooms that overlook the picturesque Stuyvesant Park, a separate office and two full bathrooms. The house has a decent amount of space for any family to use.
Aside from the bedrooms and separate office space, it has an open kitchen which features white quartz countertops. Meanwhile, the bathrooms have Carrara marble floors and Toto fixtures. One of the bathrooms can be accessed through an L-shaped hall that links to the main living space of the bedrooms. Said bathroom was renovated giving it hexagonal marble floor tiles as well as a walk-in shower with glass-front. The master's bedroom of the apartment can fit a king-sized bed and has a built-in large walk-in closet.
The bedrooms and bathrooms of the apartment has parquet-flooring which is "a sane if unimaginative combination of a one-bedroom and an alcove studio with bulgy monthly maintenance fees of $2,525 per listing details," Variety wrote. The home has an entrance hall and a rectilinear combination of living, dining, and kitchen space which is nearly 30-foot long that opens to a loggia at its northern end.
The dwelling is at the third-floor apartment of the 13-story Rutherford which has a 175-unit co-op building near Union Square. The location of the house is low-key unlike other areas where most celebrities rent or build a house.
The actress, comedian, producer and writer Rachel Dratch, surprisingly bought the "boring" real estate despite being noted as one of the least serious people in showbiz, 6sqft. noted.
Dratch is a longtime East Village resident who bought the apartment from seller Angela Klot under the listing of Sherri Polin of Corcoran Group. Dratch is well known as a cast member on “Saturday Night Live” since 1999 to 2006 and is currently starring in the play “Ripcord” at the Manhattan Theatre Club.
