A historic Manhattan townhouse once owned by iconic artist Andy Warhol has hit the market for sale.
Located at 1342 Lexington Avenue on the Upper East Side, the four-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom home was both Warhol’s residence and studio from 1960 to 1972; a period during which he produced iconic works such as the Campbell’s Soup Cans and portraits of Marilyn Monroe and Muhammad Ali.
Designed by renowned architect Henry J. Hardenbergh, (whose credits include the Plaza Hotel and the Dakota), the 285sqm townhouse retains unique features from Warhol’s time, including green paint streaks on the kitchen floor and a door handle fashioned from one of his walking sticks.
“This is where he got his creative juices flowing and made art that funded the lifestyle he had for the rest of his life,” Merav Shalhon of Essential New York Real Estate told the New York Post.
The property, now owned by a private family trust, has not been occupied by the current owners but has been used as a rental investment.
The townhouse blends historic charm with modern updates, featuring original fireplaces, high ceilings, a wood-panelled library, and a bright, windowed breakfast kitchen.
Zoned for live/work use, the property could also function as an art gallery or office.
Warhol left the home in 1972. After a brief vacancy, it was rented, and later purchased, by his longtime business manager Frederick Hughes.
Today, the home stands as a cultural landmark in New York’s prestigious Carnegie Hill, just steps from Central Park and Museum Mile.
