Where's the listing for Walter De Maria's $25 million home-studio on East 6th Street?



The longtime home-studio of the late Walter De Maria hit the market this past Feb. 19. The asking price for the building: $25 million.

On Tuesday, we noticed that the listing was "no longer available" on Streeteasy



We wondered if someone, perhaps, has the property, which also includes the empty lot next door at 419 E. Sixth St., in contract. Or maybe there's a price chop in the works. Hard to say!

A rep for Cushman & Wakefield, who listed the address, did not respond to an email about the status of property.

The building was a Con Ed substation built in 1920. De Maria, who died last summer at age 77, bought it in 1980 to use as a home and studio.

I rode the Wild Mouse at the 1964-65 World's Fair, and my mom lost her glasses on one of those wicked curves!

I checked the listing a few weeks ago and they indicated bids were due by a date now past. I presume they've accepted an offer!
