Halt the fundraisers. 

The penthouse unit at 72 E. First St. — aka The Minthorne House — at First Avenue with the Cape Cod-style cottage on its rooftop is in contract after a mere two weeks on the market.

Jennifer Gould at the Post reports the price is close to $10 million (it had a $9.75 million ask).

Per Gould: "The sources add that the forthcoming owners are a local family."

That narrows it down!

One of the most unique East Village homes sold in the summer of 2017 for $3.5 million. Until then, Gale Barrett Shrady was reportedly the owner. The cottage addition was the handiwork of her late husband, artist Henry Merwin Shrady III. She called the charming cottage a "magical little spot" that served as her son's bedroom through college.

    Damn, I was hoping they could wait until I checked my lottery numbers.

    Astonishing to see that much appreciation in 7 yrs. Let’s hope the new owners don’t decide to wreck it.

    Was this inspired by the cottage on top of Kiehl’s building?
