Mary-Kate Olsen and Olivier Sarkozy Scoop Up Painter David Deutsch’s Turtle Bay Townhome for $13.5 Million
After nearly nine months on the market, painter David Deutsch‘s Turtle Bay Gardens townhouse has been sold. Property records filed today show that Mary-Kate Olsen and her beau, Olivier Sarkozy, are the lucky buyers to scoop up Deutsch’s beauty, paying $13.5 million for the home located at 226-228 East 49th Street.
Deutsch’s offer came in $3 million short of his $16.5 million ask, but it’s worth mentioning that he bought the townhouse for just $2.45 million in 1997.
The 8,000-square-foot digs comes with five bedrooms, seven fireplaces, a fifth-floor exercise pool, a grand ballroom, a double-height artist’s studio, a swanky elevator, and a hall of mirrors. But the pièce de résistance is certainly the ‘Medici fountain’ found in the garden — it was expertly modeled after the original in Rome.
This is the second time since 1961 that the property has changed hands.
