It was in a Soho apartment in 2013 that Rihanna fell in love. This famous person’s old home is now open for everyone to buy.
A business mogul born in Barbados used to live in a two-story apartment in New York City that has just been put up for sale for $12.9 million. The founder of Fenty Beauty rented out his expensive home to her from 2013 to 2017. The shooter Antoine Verglas is French. You can rent it for a crazy $45,000 a month if you only want to live there for four or five seconds like Rihanna.
The duplex apartment takes up the top two floors of 129 Lafayette Street, which is on the border between Soho and Nolita. The building was built in 1911 as a place to make light goods. After almost a hundred years, it was turned into a high-end residential building in 2004. The house is 7,000 square feet and has four bedrooms, three full bathrooms, and one half bathroom. In addition, there is a landscaped, all-around patio that is 2,400 square feet. This is your private outdoor sanctuary with a view of Manhattan.
It has everything you’d expect from a light and airy prewar flat. Large windows, custom concrete floors, and 13-foot ceilings can be found inside. You can take a key-locked lift to the top floor and go straight to the grand living room with a wood-burning fireplace. The living room opens up right into the ultra-modern chef’s kitchen, which has high-end tools and Val Cucine cabinets. From here, you can go straight to the rooftop patio.
All four rooms can be found on the eleventh floor, where the steel-and-wood floating stairwell starts. The main room is the most impressive because it is very large and has views of the Empire State Building and further away. It’s great that this room has its own bathroom, dressing room, and huge walk-in closet if your bedroom is anything like that of the singer-turned-fashion icon.
