Journalist and author Katie Couric just found a buyer for the Carnegie Hill apartment she has owned since 1998. The famous news anchor first listed her longtime home in October 2017 for $8.25 million. After the price reduced to $7.995 million, the residence went into contract for an undisclosed amount.In addition to its prime Park Avenue location, just a few blocks from Sarabeth’s and the Guggenheim Museum, there are many perks that make it easy to see why Couric chose this 5-bedroom, 4.5-bath as her family’s home base. Light pours into the airy unit through large windows while soaring high ceilings add grandeur. Original parquet flooring has been beautifully preserved and antique-looking lighting fixtures in the living room and dining room nod to the circa-1915 era in which the building was constructed.An expansive, rustic-chic chef’s kitchen at the heart of the home is the perfect gathering place. As well as being fully outfitted with top-of-the-line appliances, it boasts a casual breakfast room and a spacious butler’s pantry.Alexa Lambert, Marc Achilles, and Julie Soffen of Stribling have the incredible listing, which 6sqft first reported is in contract.
