Live in Rolling Stones Guitarist Keith Richards’ Washington Square Penthouse for $12M

March 17, 2016

Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards and his wife, model Patti Hansen, bought the penthouse at 1 Fifth Avenue for $10.5 million back in 2014. Putting meaning to “You Can’t Always Get What You Want,” the legendary musician has now listed his Greenwich Village digs just two years later for $12.23 million, reports Curbed.

The four-bedroom duplex is the result of a 2011 overhaul by architect Joe Serrins, who combined three units in the Gold Coast building to create the super-contemporary spread. It boasts three setback terraces flanking a 46-foot-long entertainment space, leather-wrapped bronze stair handrails, two bedroom wings, and a sliding wall to keep the library private or open.

1 Fifth Avenue was one of the first Art Deco towers in the city, designed in 1929 by Harvey Wiley Corbett. Located just north of the Washington Square arch, the full-service co-op offers a full-time doorman, laundry, and storage, and allows pied-à-terres and pets.

Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards unloads Washington Square penthouse at a loss

By Annie Doge

It was only four years ago that Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards and his wife, model Patti Hansen, bought the penthouse at celeb-filled 1 Fifth Avenue for $10.5 million. Two years later, after an overhaul by architect Joe Serrins, the rock legend listed the Greenwich Village spread for $12.23 million. But as it goes, "You Can't Always Get What You Want," and in October 2017 he dropped the price to $12 million even and brought it celebrity stager Cheryl Eisen. The price continued to decline, dropping to $11 million this past November, and most recently $9.95 million. Now, the Observer reports that it's gone into contract, meaning he more than likely took a loss.
