You can buy Newman’s Own lemonade, you can buy Newman’s Own salad dressings, and now you can buy Paul Newman’s very own Manhattan penthouse that he shared with his wife, legendary actress Joanne Woodward. Woodward, who lost her husband in 2008, and the duo’s children are now seeking $9,950,000 for the timeless unit.
The famously talented, and exuberant, Old Hollywood couple owned this Carnegie Hill co-op for many decades and this is the first time it has been on the market in more than 40 years. More of a pied-à-terre or couple’s retreat in size, it holds two bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and one half-bath. The Fifth Avenue pad overlooking Central Park and the Reservoir also boasts neutral-toned living areas ready for sophisticated entertaining. Of course, to really get a feel for high-end (and, high up) Upper East Side living, one should use the oversized glass doors to stroll out to 2,000-square-feet worth of terraces.
Their prewar penthouse is currently dressed with serene and fresh staging by Vesta Home, but if it is beckoning you to make it your own, Noble Black and Jennifer Kaufman Stillman of Douglas Elliman hold the listing.
Throughout their marriage, Newman and Woodward were also homeowners in other tony zip codes. In addition to New York City, they also lived in Beverly Hills and Westport, Connecticut at various points. Westport, where they raised their family, was long their primary residence and they were active patrons of the Westport Country Playhouse.
