Two adjacent penthouses in Manhattan, formerly owned by musician John Legend and model Chrissy Teigen, are being offered for a total price of US$22.5 million. The residences are located on the upper floors of the Brewster Carriage House, a historic building in Nolita originally constructed in 1900 for Brewster & Co., one of America's leading manufacturers of luxury carriages.
The couple acquired the flats separately between 2018 and 2020 for a total of US$16.72 million. They initially planned to combine them into a single, multi-storey home before deciding to spend more time in Los Angeles. In 2022, they sold the units for US$16.75 million to the current owner, who has kept the flats separate and commissioned extensive interior design by renowned designer Augusta Hoffman.
Property Details and Features
The two penthouses together offer a living area of 6,164 square feet. They comprise a total of six bedrooms and six and a half bathrooms. Notable features include 12-foot ceilings, exposed brick walls, Corinthian cast-iron columns, and custom steel-framed windows. The use of travertine surfaces and the integration of a media lounge underscore the luxurious character of the property.

Detailed Description of the Units
Penthouse South spans approximately 2,600 square feet. Its main living spaces are arranged in a bright, open
Penthouse North, at approximately 3,500 square feet across two levels, is the larger of the two residences. Many of the building's original industrial design elements have been preserved here, including exposed brickwork, Corinthian cast-iron columns, and heavy timber beams. The upper floor houses a large room with built-in bookshelves and tall windows. A split staircase, surrounded by brick and wood panelling, leads to the lower area with a media lounge and a kitchen, as well as to the 1,500-square-foot roof terrace with panoramic views of the Manhattan skyline.
Together, the two penthouses offer a rare amount of space in the city, with over 3,300 square feet of private outdoor area. Although the current owner has kept the flats separate, Legend and Teigen's original vision of combining them into a single, multi-storey home with over 6,100 square feet of interior space remains possible for a future buyer. Such a combination could unite multiple entertainment areas, suites, and amenities under one roof. Alternatively, maintaining them as two independent flats offers the flexibility to accommodate extended families, guests, or separate living arrangements without compromising privacy. The penthouses represent an unusually large and versatile living opportunity in the heart of Downtown Manhattan.
