Commonly referred to as one of the most influential musical figures of the 20^th century, Bowie was widely recognized as a glamorous star with dramatic makeup, remarkable style, and unmatched stage presence. Although the English singer-songwriter unfortunately passed in 2016 due to cancer, his lasting legacy is still apparent in the touches he left behind including his longtime Manhattan apartment.

The New York City property was purchased by Bowie in 1999 for a price of $3.81 million. Located in the Nolita neighborhood, the area offers a charming and chic essence perfectly synonymous with his lively image. Records indicate that this property is currently owned by a trust linked to his estate. Recently though, the superstar’s former residence was placed on the market at an asking price of $16.8 million. Less than a month after its listing, the property has secured a buyer and the home is currently in contract.

Bowie's former longtime residence spans over 5,000 square feet of living space and includes four bedrooms. The stylish apartment sits in a mid-rise Manhattan building that dates back to the late 1800s when the property was utilized as a chocolate factory. The vibrant unit offers direct elevator access and opens to a marvelous 56-foot-long great room. The primary bedroom suite offers more than 1,000 square feet and is equipped with a cozy fireplace and spacious dressing room. Other appealing amenities of the superstar home include a library and three outdoor terraces.

The listing for this property is held by Stuart Moss of the Corcoran Group.

The stylish property functions as a simultaneous home and workspace, previously hosting renowned stars David Bowie, Tina Turner, and of course, Tim Burton who wrote his 2019 rendition of “Dumbo” in the east wing. While the space emulates the whimsy of Burton’s films, it is no longer in his use. In 2018, it was listed on the market for $29.4 million and last year, was once more briefly available for purchase. Now, the property is listed at $27.8 million with a rental option of $20.9 thousand per week.

Inspired by Paris’ Maison de Verre, Eglon House was built from scratch over six years before its completion in 2016. The property serves as a stylistic resident and workspace spanning two buildings and 13,000 square feet in the heart of central London. With its exposed structure, glass block shape, and open layout, the east wing resembles a glowing lantern. It features a grand salon, professional kitchen, fine dining room, orangery, and bedroom suite equipped with a distinctive copper bath. The west wing of the property is Art Deco inspired with a tall living room, kitchen, and open courtyard. Its two upper levels include three bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a study. Further into the property is a pool with a waterproof screen and mechanical floor allowing the space to double as a cinema.

“There is a prescience in the design of Eglon House in how it meets the demands of the world now,” said Howard Kayman of luxury real estate agency Aston Chase. “It combines lateral studio spaces with intimate residential parts and successfully blurs the boundary between the two. A space like this is a rarity.”
