Celebrity Real Estate: James Rothschild and Nicky Hilton Shop for Village Pad

Nicky Hilton Rothschild tweeted Tuesday "Great minds think alike!" in response to photos of her and Dee Ocleppo (Tommy Hilfiger's wife), showing up in the same '60s-style powder blue Valentino statement gown earlier this week at an event in the Lincoln Center.

Since her wedding to British banker James Rothschild last summer at the Kensington Palace, Nicky Hilton Rothschild is now shopping along with her husband for a New York pad in the Greenwich Village.

According to the New York Post, Nicky and hubby James recently toured a "discounted" $22.5 million triplex penthouse at 12 E. 13th Street. The asking price of the unit was $30.5 million when it was first listed on the market last year.

The 5,704-square-feet lofty, glass pad has five bedrooms and six bathrooms. It also has a private outdoor space of 906 square feet. The Cetra-Ruddy-designed building has only eight residences and features great amenities that include a doorman, a gym and a bike storage.

The building was developed by Continental Properties and DHA Capital on the former site of a 45,000 square-foot parking garage.

Nicky Hilton officially became Mrs. Rothschild last summer at the Kensington Palace in London.

After celebrating their honeymoon in North Island in Seychelles, the 31-year-old socialite immediately went back to the States, as reported by the Daily Mail news.

Coming from a romantic getaway, the younger sister of Paris Hilton arrived at her apartment in New York City rolling a Louis Vuitton luggage and wearing brown Timbaland boots.

The blonde beauty accessorized her look with long tresses in a sleek ponytail as well as wore black sunglasses.

On her wedding day, the blushing bride wore a £50,000 Valentino couture dress suitable for a Hilton heir.

The wedding featured a host of guests that included her sisters, Paris Hilton and Chelsea Clinton, who watched Nicky exchange vows with James Rothschild. The couple had been dating ever since they met at Petra Ecclestone and James Stunt's wedding in Italy in 2011.
