Bethenny Frankel chops nearly $1M off her Soho apartment

Bethenny Frankel, one of the original cast members of “The Real Housewives of New York City” and founder of Skinnygirl, has just relisted her Soho apartment for $4,375,000, a price chop from the 2017 asking price of $5,250,000 and an optimistic move after listing it as a $13,000/month rental (h/t New York Post). Despite the 17 percent price reduction, Frankel still stands to make a small profit on the unit, which she bought for $4.2 million in 2014. Located on a cobblestone block in the neighborhood’s historic cast-iron district, the residence at 22 Mercer Street is a roomy 2,392-square-foot two-bedroom outfitted with chic designer furnishings.

A long hallway leads you from the entrance to a 25-foot sunken living and dining room with 14-foot ceilings, three triple-paned arched windows, and a wood-burning fireplace. The apartment is the only one in the 16-unit building to have a balcony. Located of the living room, it overlooks Broadway.

A few steps up is the open kitchen, fully equipped with top-of-the-line appliances from SubZero, Gaggenau, and Miele. The countertops feature imported marble and you’ll also find a large pantry and two wine refrigerators.

The master bedroom suite features a custom walk-in closet and a luxurious marble bathroom with double vanity sinks, a deep soaking tub, and a glass-enclosed shower.

The second bedroom has its own en-suite bathroom and generous closet space. Though it’s not shown in the listing images, both bedrooms are illuminated by a wall of floor-to-ceiling glass windows from an internal atrium that provides views of a landscaped green wall.

Walnut floors run throughout, while a neutral palette keeps the space feeling large and chic. Additional amenities include sound-proofed windows, multi-zoned central heating and air-conditioning, a washer-dryer, a powder room, and a custom home Crestron system with Sonos and built-in speakers throughout.
