Taylor Swift’s Iconic Cornelia Street Townhouse Hits the Market at $17.9 Million

Cornelia Street may have seen the last of Taylor Swift. While her $50 million TriBeCa apartment was being renovated in 2016, the pop singer leased a 5,500 square foot West Village carriage house at 23 Cornelia Street. It has now hit the market for an unbelievable $17.9 million.

Swift leased the townhouse in 2016 and 2017 for $38,000 per month, and it was there that she wrote the massively successful song “Cornelia Street,” which has been widely interpreted as a love ballad for her then-boyfriend Joe Alwyn. City records show that in 2019, it was sold for $11.5 million to an Italian investor from the Soho House CEO David Aldea. Last September, it was converted into a showroom for the Italian furniture manufacturer Zanotta and put up for rent for $45,000 per month (with an option to purchase still on the table).

The home features four bedrooms, five bathrooms, two powder rooms, an eat-in kitchen, and various terraces, one of which is a rooftop salon. It was originally constructed in 1870 to keep horse-drawn carriages. There’s a garage and an indoor lap pool, both of which are unusual in Manhattan. Beamed ceilings, blonde parquet Russian Ipe wood flooring, leaded-glass windows, and a wood-burning fireplace can all be found on the upper level’s second story. The listing is held by the Corcoran Group’s Laurence Carty, Irene Lo, and Jennifer Rahilly.

Swift, who is currently on the road for the duration of the summer for her Eras Tour, is still reportedly responsible for a real estate portfolio worth more than $150 million, including homes in TriBeCa, Beverly Hills, Nashville, and Rhode Island.
