Andy Warhol's former NYC townhouse lists as rental space

Upper East Side townhouse studio hosted portraits of Muhammad Ali and Marilyn Monroe, with paint splatters still on the floor.

A
ndy Warhol's historic Carnegie Hill townhouse is now available for rent at $22,550 per month. The property, which dates back to the 1880s, boasts grand proportions and was designed by renowned architect Henry J. Hardenbergh.

    Warhol lived in the home from 1960 until 1972, using the kitchen as his studio where he created iconic works like Campbell's soup can pieces and portraits of Muhammad Ali, Marilyn Monroe, and Elizabeth Taylor. The space still features splattered green paint on the floor, a nod to Warhol's creative era.

    The townhouse has been lovingly maintained with original details such as fireplaces and staircase banisters. Its current owners, a private family trust, have recently renovated the property to feature modern interiors while preserving its historic charm.

    Warhol's time in the home was not just about creating art; he also lived with his mother, who took care of him and even bought him iconic Campbell's soup cans from a nearby grocery store. The current listing broker notes that Warhol's creative juices flowed freely in this space, producing works that funded his lifestyle for years to come.

    The 19th-century building is part of the Hardenbergh/Rhinelander Historic District and offers endless possibilities due to its live/work zoning. With four bedrooms, five bathrooms, and over 3,000 square feet of living space, this property could be transformed into a single-family mansion, art gallery, or even a doctor's office.

    Additional features include laundry facilities on both the top floor and basement, as well as two entrances providing flexibility for its future use. The property is currently owned by a private family trust and is listed with Essential Real Estate New York LLC.
