ob Dylan's former residence at 242 E. 49th St. in New York City is on the market for $7.25 million. This five-story townhouse, built in the 1920s as part of Turtle Bay Gardens, boasts a rich history of celebrity tenants, including Hollywood stars and Broadway legends.

    The property features private access to the shared gardens between 48th and 49th streets, and Second and Third avenues. The home was originally built in 1899 and has seven fireplaces. Its current owner, who purchased it from Dylan in 2005, has maintained its charm while modernizing certain elements.

    Dylan lived in the house with his family in the 1970s before buying it outright in 1990. He kept a low profile during this time, using an unassuming car to avoid paparazzi and living like a hermit for several years. The property has also hosted other creative minds, including director Mike Nichols, who added the intercom system, and actress Mary Tyler Moore, who converted a room into a dance studio.

    The townhouse features five bedrooms, 5.5 bathrooms, and a private walled yard with two terraces and an elevator. Its parlor-level living area opens onto a 19-foot-wide terrace overlooking the gardens, a unique feature in Turtle Bay. Original details like arched doorways and wood floors remain intact, complemented by modern updates.

    The listing price may raise eyebrows, as Stephen Sondheim's former home just two doors down sold for $7 million earlier this year. Lisa Larson and Angela Wu of Sotheby's International Realty hold the listing.
