Bundchen Agrees to Sell New York Penthouse

October 16th, 2009

Supermodel Gisele Bundchen has gone into contract on her penthouse in New York’s West Village. The latest listing price of $4.5 million was less than half the original, September 2007 price tag.
It couldn’t be learned who has agreed to buy, or at what price. The Brazilian first listed the two-bedroom triplex for $10.9 million, eventually took it off the market, changed brokers and relisted in September with Raphael De Niro of Prudential Douglas Elliman. Last month, New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady said he and Ms. Bundchen are expecting their first child.
Ms. Bündchen bought the 1,700-square-foot condominium unit in 2002 for nearly $3 million, records show. The two-bedroom, two-bath condo has a wraparound terrace, deck with a jacuzzi and views of the Hudson River. Ms. Bündchen’s nearby townhouse, also represented by Mr. De Niro, remains on the market for $13.95 million. Her manager declined to comment.
