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.

ReplyDeleteWell, at least send me a party invite!
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!
