Meg Ryan’s moody, ‘Megan-ized’ Mercer Street loft sells for $9.9M
Meg Ryan’s 4,100-square-foot apartment at 84 Mercer Street in Soho has been officially scooped up for $9.9M, LLNYC reveals. 6sqft previously reported that the actress had listed the full-floor home–which she bought from fellow actor Hank Azaria for $8 million in 2014–for $10.9 million back in February of this year. After a designer gut renovation and a spread in Architectural Digest, the three-bedroom home didn’t stay on the market long—it went into contract just three months after Ryan listed it.
Ryan hired architect Joel Barkley and designer Monique Gibson to work their renovation magic after she purchased the pad–her ninth renovation. Creating her dream space–son Jack has nicknamed the process the Megan-ize effect–is “a chance for me to bring my vision into the world,” because, “as an actor you are so rarely in control.” She is reportedly on the lookout for a new renovation project.
As far as this large and luxurious loft, a key-lock elevator provides very private access to the entry foyer; the door opens onto a 40-foot gallery illuminated by large west-facing windows.
The spacious living room is accented with floor-to-ceiling French doors, 12-foot ceilings, and glossy ebonized wood flooring. A luxurious formal dining room gets to keep a decorative fireplace, but the furniture and art, sadly, were not included in the sale.
A bountiful eat-in kitchen gets tons of light from three huge windows and has endless custom cabinetry, white subway tile and marble shelving and countertops, with a double Viking Professional six-burner range, two stainless steel refrigerators and a Bosch dishwasher doing the heavy lifting so the chef can create.
The sunny and tranquil master bedroom gets back to loft roots with an exposed brick wall, plus custom closets and an en-suite bath with crisp black-and-white accents, a free-standing tub, dual vanities, marble counters and a stall shower.
More recently, the actress snagged a $9.4M spread at the ultra-luxe celeb crash pad, 443 Greenwich Street.
We look forward to seeing what she has planned for her new home.
