Jennifer Lawrence, star of The Hunger Games and X-Men, once owned a stunning New York penthouse.
In 2016, she purchased this property for $15.6 million, aiming to create a luxurious retreat in the heart of Manhattan.
Despite her successful career, this penthouse ultimately led to a substantial financial loss.
Luxurious Amenities
The penthouse spans an impressive 4,073 square feet, featuring three bedrooms and five bathrooms, plus one half bath. Highlighted by 12-foot ceilings, the residence offers a spacious layout with a seamless flow between the luxurious living room, dining area, and family room.
Tall walls of windows provide breathtaking 360-degree views of New York City, including the East River and downtown Manhattan.
Gourmet Kitchen and Dining
A top-of-the-line chef’s kitchen showcases custom Poggenpohl white lacquer cabinetry and white honed Carrera marble countertops.
High-end appliances include a Gaggenau dishwasher, stainless convection and steam ovens, a vented electric induction stove, a gas cooktop, a SubZero wine cooler, and a glass-door SubZero professional refrigerator.
The adjoining corner dining room allows for casual meals while soaking in stunning views.
Elegant Bedrooms
Separated by a wide hallway, the bedroom wing consists of two bright bedrooms with en-suite baths and a powder room.
The master suite, previously the fourth bedroom, features a dressing room and provides direct access to the outdoor space, showcasing dazzling river and city views.
Featuring an oversized soaking tub, a glass walk-in shower, and a double trough sink with a vanity backlit TV display, the master bathroom exudes luxury.
Exceptional Outdoor Amenities
Boasting over 3,000 square feet of landscaped outdoor space across two levels, the penthouse’s terrace includes a kitchen with a built-in grill, a sink, and a refrigerator.
An outdoor living room with a gas fireplace and a built-in ping pong table adds to the allure, making it an ideal setting for entertaining.
Building Amenities
Residents of The Laurel Condominium enjoy a full suite of amenities, including a two-story fitness center, a 50-foot lap pool, a sauna, a steam room, and a double-height lounge.
Convenient access to the garage and lobby elevators ensures comfort, while a full-time doorman and concierge cater to every need.
This penthouse combines luxury living with extraordinary outdoor spaces, making it a true urban oasis.
The Unexpected Loss
Despite its beauty, the property’s annual costs of $100,000 made it a challenge to keep.
After listing it for as much as $15.5 million, Lawrence ultimately sold the penthouse for nearly $9.9 million—taking a $5.7 million loss.
The buyer was Marwan Kheireddine, chairman of AM Bank.
