1) The most famous hot tub and hammock in the West Village is no more. Well, they still exist, but you can't have them (unless you pony up upwards of $7.9 million). After getting pricechopped to hell, Gisele Bundchen's West 11th Street triplex has been pulled off the market. Pour one out for this fallen homey. [Gimme Shelter/Braden Keil]
2) Bono traded his El Dorado apartment (home/not home to Moby) for a more fancy Upper West Side co-op, the San Remo, a few years back, and now he's finally cashing out on his old pad. The 2,322sqft three-bedroom apartment first hit the market in March 2006 for $5.95 million, and it recently sold for $4.9 million. [Manhattan Transfers/Max Abelson]
3) Nearly two years after he signed a contract to buy it, Sting has finally closed on his five-bedroom spread in the tower at 15 Central Park West (yes, we would've pegged him for a "house" guy, too). Gordon Sumner paid $26.5 million for it, and he still owns this beauty a little up the street. [The Real Estate/Lysandra Ohrstrom]
4) Is Village resident Liv Tyler the latest in a long list of Manhattan celebrities lost to the cozy breeding ground of Brooklyn? Word across the pond is she's checked out a townhouse at 140 Columbia Heights, but there may be holes in this story. [Brownstoner]
5) Think doodling in class gets you nowhere? The creator of Dora the Explorer just bought a condo at Extell's Ariel West for $4.395 million. The next time you buy your nephew a Diego toy, think about that sweet, sweet apartment. [The Real Estate/Max Abelson]
