Cynthia Nixon getting her 15 minutes of house fame with former Warhol residence?

This afternoon's Twitter rumor has SATC star Cynthia Nixon buying this East Sixth Street home between Second Avenue and First Avenue... home to Andy Warhol at one point...



We featured it back in June... It's going for $2.4 million. Per the listing:

Built originally as the historic St. Marks Lutheran Church, 321 East 6th Street is uniquely situated affording three exposures including oversized parlor floor windows. Many original details have been retained including the well-shaded high-stoop and second entrance below, wood-burning fireplaces, crown moldings, parquet and hardwood floors, and grandiose 13-foot ceilings. Use these two distinct and handsomely appointed floors as currently configured or join the two to create an expansive and gracious lower duplex. ... Of note, this property was once owned by Andy Warhol in the late 1960’s.

Warhol may possibly have owned it, but Paul Morrissey was the one who lived there until the 1980s.

And this building was not the St. Marks Lutheran church, either. The synagogue next door was once the St. Marks Lutheran Church, which sponsored the General Slocum ferry ride that ended in disaster in 1904.

Hmm.. I am grieving because EV Grieve actually used the acronym SATC instead of writing out the entire title (Sex and The City). Shame... so sad!!!
