Born as Nora Lum in Queens, New York, she has come a far way from the small railroad apartment in Brooklyn following her catapult into the limelight. The actress, comedian, and internet personality was once “scared” to invest in a larger space, but eventually moved to West Hollywood in 2019 where she purchased a $2.27 million townhome. Nearly two years later, she is now bidding farewell to her former residence listing it on the market for a slightly heightened price of $2.4 million. The presumed reason as to why she is selling her former home is that she recently purchased a stylish Bel-Air mansion for $3.5 million.

Awkwafina’s former West Hollywood home is a contemporary townhome spanning 3,500 square feet. The residence includes three bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms. The loft-style living space offers three levels, a roof deck with spa, and dazzling views of the cityscape. The space opens to a living and dining area with a fireplace and glass doors leading to a balcony. The white, modern kitchen equipped with two-tone cabinets and stainless-steel appliances sits adjacent to the dining space with cathedral ceilings and a bright light fixture. Upstairs, the master suite features a spacious walk-in closet and luxurious bathroom with dual vanities and glassed-in shower. The modern space also offers two other ensuite bedrooms, large bonus room, kitchenette, and office with separate entrance. Other perks of the home consist of four balconies, a two-car garage, sound system with built-in speakers, and easy access to a plethora of restaurants and shops on the nearby Melrose Avenue.

Danny Brown with Compass holds the listing for this property.

The luxurious Manhattan abode was once home to John Stewart, comedian and former “Daily Show” host who sold the property in 2014 for $17.5 million to financier Parag Pande and filmmaker Ritu Singh Pande. Seven years later, Shawn Levy and his wife, Serena, purchased the home on April 1 for a price of $13 million via a trust. However, in the short two months following, Levy “has recently committed to filming on the West Coast and Europe for the foreseeable future—and the family will not be able to spend time in New York City after all,” according to the listing team led by Danny Davis at The Corcoran Group. This has led the Levy’s to list their former Manhattan abode on the market for $15 million.

As the largest and last penthouse to sell at 40 Bleecker in New York City’s NoHo neighborhood, this condominium is the highest priced property in the newly constructed building. The penthouse consists of the top two floors of the 1900s commercial building, which was converted into loft-style condominiums in 2004. The ultramodern interiors were designed by Ryan Korban although the Levy’s did undergo some minor renovations during their short stay such as painting over some wallpapers. The lavish space spans 6,280 square feet with five bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms. The home includes two living rooms, a large family room, multiple entertaining areas, office, and two outdoor terraces. According to the listing, “the apartment feels like a house in a doorman condo.”
