Bob Dylan’s former home in New York is on the market for $7.25 million
Bob Dylan’s former townhouse is ready to welcome its new owner.
The legendary singer’s former New York City home, located in Manhattan’s Turtle Bay Gardens enclave, is now on the market for $7.25 million and is listed by Lisa Larson and Angela Wu from Sotheby’s International Realty.
Originally built in 1899, the 5,395-square-foot home was owned by Ruth Gordon and her husband Garson Kanin, who would go on to rent it out to many famous people. Dylan became their longest-tenured tenant, eventually purchasing a home from the couple in 1990, according to Curbed.
He later sold the five-bedroom, five-and-a-half-bathroom home in 2005.
