Someone has bought the former Olivier Sarkozy, Mary-Kate Olsen 'love nest' on East 10th St.

Built in 1854, 123 E. 10th St. is one of the finer houses in the neighborhood... Of late, the James Renwick-inspired home was known, perhaps dubiously, as the so-called "love nest" (per the Post, natch) for Olivier Sarkozy and girlfriend Mary-Kate Olsen.

But! As we noted back in July, the home was back on the market for just less than $7 million. Property records show that Sarkozy paid $6.25 million for the space. We have no idea if the half-brother of the former French president and Olsen ever actually lived here.

The for sale sign out front was recently removed... and Streeteasy shows that the single-family Anglo-Italianate townhouse was in contract as of early September.



No. 123 was on the market for nearly four years before Sarkozy bought it.

Sarkozy-Olsen 'love nest' on the block

Last August, when reports surfaced that Olivier Sarkozy bought 123 E. 10th St., the Post described the historic 146-year-old home as a "love nest" he would share with girlfriend Mary-Kate Olsen.

Apparently there's a change in nesting, as the half-brother of the former French president has listed the single-family Anglo-Italianate townhouse for just less than $7 million. (The townhouse is one half of a 146-year-old set of homes. No. 125 is apparently not on the market.) Property records show that Sarkozy paid $6.25 million for the space.

Douglas Elliman has the listing. Here's a bit about the space:

Erected in 1854 by James Renwick, one of the most famous American Architects of his time, amongst Grace Church, St. Patricks Cathedral and other internationally acclaimed projects, 123 East 10th stands out as one of the most exquisite Row Houses built. This house remains to be as attractive and architecturally significant today as it was almost two centuries ago.

The home boasts at least five bedrooms and currently only four bathrooms but can easily accommodate more of each. An old world layout with a double parlor greets one with a lovely grand entrance and can accommodate multiple sitting rooms. A Garden Level which could be most appropriately used for a kitchen and casual dining area that leads out to a lovely garden with either an open plan for a casual entertaining room or a small room suitable for guest or staff.

No. 123 was on the market for nearly four years before Sarkozy bought it.

Welcome to the neighborhood, Mr. Sarkozy

Oh, we were enjoying a leisurely walk one recent evening and we spotted Olivier Sarkozy, half-brother of the former French president and beau of Mary-Kate Olsen, standing on the sidewalk outside the lovely James Renwick-designed home at 123 E. 10th St. that he reportedly purchased last summer.



While reports said that he bought No. 123, we thought we also saw him enter the adjacent property at No. 125 (both were on the market) with the movers, who were carrying various boxes marked "Sarkozy," like the one in the back of the van marked "Bridgehampton Dishes."



We did not spot any marked, say, "Mary-Kate's pots & pans."
