Vanderbilt’s beautiful Beekman Place apartment was listed for sale in July 2021 for $1.12 million US. It is no surprise that this apartment has received many offers over asking price. However, the listing is not closed, and the final sale amount has not been revealed. Vanderbilt also owned a two-bedroom apartment in the same building (ground floor) that she used as her studio, which will also be for sale soon. 

The apartment building was built in 1931 and designed by George F. Pelham, who was a popular architect in New York City. Its original details still remain standing from the pre-war era in which it was built. It is a 10-storey building with 38 units and has a 24-hour doorman, a newly designed fitness centre and access to the River Walk. It is also close to many shops, restaurants and many other recreational activities. The building is located in one of the most exclusive areas in Manhattan, which is where many celebrities have lived, such as Joan Crawford, Tom Jones and many others. It is also often mentioned in pop culture, such as Billy Joel’s song Close to the Borderline. 

With three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a library, a kitchen, a beautifully designed fireplace and intricate details all around the apartment, Vanderbilt’s home is designed like no other. Her energy lives on within the apartment as her unique eye for art and design is represented through her living space. Vanderbilt made her apartment come to life and leaves guests with an incredible experience, as there are a variety of fun features that are mesmerizing.
