From magazine covers to the runway, supermodel Gisele Bündchen has an extensive modeling portfolio, but she has also had quite a real estate portfolio over the years. Three of the many properties the celeb has been connected to include a $9.1 million Florida estate she scooped up last year, a $17.25 million Flatiron apartment once shared with ex-husband Tom Brady, and this West Village townhouse she sold in 2009. The inviting Barrow Street home is now on the market, seeking $16,995,000.
Before switching hands to the current sellers, Bündchen (who resided here while she was dating Leonardo DiCaprio) renovated the circa-1851 residence. It has recently undergone other significant improvements, gaining new windows and a roof, a great sound system, lighting, and updates in the library.
The home’s brick facade is just a hint of the character and charm that awaits inside. With 5,300 square feet of interior living space and four floors, there is plenty of space to get cozy and unwind. Really, who could complain about seven fireplaces and a secondary kitchen? But, the best moments seem to be reserved for the owner of the house. The light-flooded primary bedroom fills the entirety of the top floor, featuring custom closets, a dressing area, and a bright bathroom centered by a huge bathtub.
The basement blends modern luxuries like an eat-in kitchen and heated stone floors with historical elements, such as exposed beam ceilings and brick walls. It opens to a fully landscaped, private garden: An urban oasis perfect for enjoying spring, summer, and fall in the city.
