Nearly 10 months to the date that Grammy-winner John Legend listed his condo at 52E4 — the 15 stories of condo on the Bowery and East Fourth Street — it entered into contract last week, according to Streeteasy.
Last September, the price started at $2.95 million — but two markdowns (5 percent total!) brought it to $2.795 million.
Despite the celebrity connection and model-in-panties-photoshoot cachet, the place seemed to be on the market a good long time. We always wondered if something was keeping away buyers ... like the 7-Eleven on the ground floor or fear of the French hotel coming (probably) some day to the corner of East Third Street ...
Or not. There aren't any current listings for the building...

Please make it a weekly feature to umm feature a John Legend story. I still don't know who he is, but any chance to link to the photo shoot will make me happy. Thank you for your consideration.
Of all celebrities to have in our hood, John Legend and Chrissy Teigen are not so bad. I like his music (sue me, I say he's like a modern-day Garland Jeffreys) and Chrissy is funny and down-to-earth and she was a Delia's catalog model! They should get a cat, then they would be totally above reproach.
Not that Garland Jeffreys is un-modern, at all. GJ is totally righteous. Maybe I should have said Legend is "a neo Garland Jeffreys." bleh, I left my SPIN-to-English dictionary at home. Anyhoodle, they're both cool cats.
Chrissy is apparently quite a popular food blogger, btw
