Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward’s former New York City home is for sale.
The former Hollywood power couple’s penthouse in the upscale neighborhood of Carnegie Hill is on the market for $9.95 million, according to listings held by Noble Black and Jennifer Stillman of Douglas Elliman Real Estate. The home was listed by their children on behalf of Woodward, who was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease in 2007. Newman died a year later in September 2008.
“In terms of timing, the response has been absolutely incredible,” Black told FOX Business. “We’ve basically been camped out showing every day this week. Given the activity and offers received, we should have a deal by early next week.”
Originally built in 1925, The New York Times reports the couple purchased the penthouse in the early 1980s and would call it home during their trips to New York from their primary residence in Westport, Connecticut.
