While you’d think a stunning apartment where Diane Keaton once lived would have no trouble finding a buyer, especially when it is in one of the San Remo’s coveted towers, that doesn’t seem to be the case. The three-bedroom, three-bathroom gem that the actress picked up 30 years ago, as her first big real estate buy, listed in April 2018 for $17.5 million and failed to catch a buyer. The seller Gordon McLeod, former head of digital publications at Dow Jones, recently passed away, spurring the home to list once more, reports 6sqft. Now, the beautiful apartment has reemerged onto the market asking a discounted $14.5 million.As well as a change in price, the light-filled residence has upped its staging game to get a sale. Colorful pillows and artwork have bee swapped out for an all-neutral look, which comes off more contemporary and sleek. The kitchen thankfully kept its funky black and white tiles for a pop of personality that draws the eye. Original building details also remain in tact, preserving that circa-1930 San Remo charm buyers want to see.Of course, Central Park views are the main allure when buying in the illustrious south tower. From every room you can gaze down at the tree-covered park below and out at the city skyline.To live where Keaton once did, contact listing agent Dan Fishman of The Corcoran Group.
