Gisele Bündchen’s exquisite former townhouse in Manhattan’s West Village is back on the market, priced at a remarkable $16.995 million. This 19th-century Italianate gem located on Barrow Street was once the home of the Brazilian supermodel, who owned the property around two decades ago.
Originally built in 1851, the four-story townhouse boasts an impressive width of 23 feet and includes 5,336 square feet of meticulously maintained living space. Bündchen acquired the property in 2005 for $5.8 million and later sold it in 2009 for $12.95 million, signifying a substantial return on her investment.
The current listing, managed by Compass agents Alex Daigh and Kellyn Goudie, notes that the townhouse is part of a series of six Italianate-style homes designed by architect Smith Woodruff, all contributing to the charm of the Greenwich Village Historic District. Highlighted features include meticulous architectural preservation combined with modern amenities, such as an elevator servicing each floor, including the finished basement.
The parlor level offers an inviting atmosphere with an elegant living room featuring built-in shelving and a fireplace, alongside a formal dining area and one of two kitchens. The lower garden floor is particularly versatile, with a cozy den, guest bedroom, and an eat-in kitchen that seamlessly connects to a private backyard—a rare find in bustling Manhattan.
The upper levels of the house comprise three additional bedrooms, including a luxurious third-floor suite with its own private terrace and a sprawling primary suite that spans the entire top level. The finished basement further enhances the home’s appeal, providing space for a gym and laundry facilities.
Bündchen’s old residence encapsulates her taste for understated luxury and sophisticated design, while its prime West Village location adds to its attractiveness—just steps away from charming cafés and the scenic Hudson River Park. For fans of Bündchen and potential luxury buyers, this listing represents not only a stunning piece of real estate but also a slice of supermodel history, evoking the glamour of a time when Gisele Bündchen made New York City her home.
