OKCupid Co-Founder Picks Up a Greenpoint Townhouse for $2.12M

August 28, 2015

A co-founder of everybody’s favorite dating site OKCupid has just scooped up a sweet townhouse at 925 Lorimer Street in Greenpoint, according to property records just released. Christian Rudder—now a budding musician and father—was listed alongside his Bishop Allen bandmate Michael Tapper (also of We Are Scientists fame) on the sale. The home, which is described as “3,400 square feet of endless opportunities” is sure to offer the pair and their friends a “typical Friday night” that’s anything but typical.

The massive home is currently set up as a multi-family residence with three units, but the listing notes that it can easily be converted into a single- or two- family home. In addition to plenty of pre war details, there are soaring ceilings and ample windows that bathe the spaces in light. At the back of the home sits a private yard spanning 850 square feet with south and west exposures.

Rudder is one of four OKCupid founders, which include Chris Coyne, Sam Yagan, and Max Krohn. The foursome sold the dating site to Match.com back in 2011 for $50 million. In addition to loads of cash in the bank and this stunning home, Rudder is also married with a three-year-old girl named Plum.
