eal Housewives of New York cast member Erin Dana Lichy has traded in her reality TV life for a grand Upper West Side townhouse. The five-story, 20-foot-wide home on West End Avenue boasts original 19th-century architectural details and a garden-level rental unit. Last listed for $8.25 million, the nearly 7,000-square-foot property features seven bedrooms, 7.5 bathrooms, and a private garden.

    Lichy, a real estate broker, designer, and mezcal entrepreneur, shared a glimpse of her new home on Instagram, calling it her "dream townhouse." The post sparked speculation about whether she plans to use the space as a filming location or a showcase for her family. Listing agent Michael Bushkanets confirmed that Lichy's husband was involved in the purchase, but declined to disclose details, citing a custom arrangement.

    The home, designed by Lamb & Rich, retains period details such as wood paneling and coffered ceilings. It also features a wide central staircase, three working fireplaces, and three laundry systems. The property is located on a landmarked block just minutes from Zabar's market, making it an ideal location for Lichy and her family.

    While the exact terms of the deal remain unclear, Bushkanets described it as "not a standard rental and not a standard sale." Public records show no recent sale, fueling speculation about whether Lichy and her husband purchased or leased the property.
