Union Square Coffee Shop Owner Chops Townhouse Price

New, 11 comments


The townhouse at 11 Gramercy Park South has been on the market since May of last year, when its owners, model-turned-Union Square Coffee Shop owner Carolyn Benitez and music producer Jellybean Benitez, listed it for $25 million. Unsurprisingly, that price was chopped to $22 million in October and has now been cut again, to $18 million. (There's a new broker on the listing, too.) The $25 million original ask might have been more rational if the place hadn't needed a lot of work to achieve single-family mansion glory?as "meticulously maintained" as the brokerbabble claims the 1856 house to be, it's actually three apartments, an owner's triplex and two upper-floor duplexes. (And one of those duplexes has a rent-controlled tenant.) Will it go for $18 million? Since Jellybean's owned the place since 1992, he'll probably be fine either way.
