The famous and impressive penthouse that once belonged to Britney Spears and Cher is for sale! The property, which is located in New York and is almost a historical monument in the city, was once a silk factory before being repurposed as a residence.
The apartment, which has been visited by countless celebrities, is being sold for nothing more than 6.995 million dollars.
The history of the apartment
Built during the Italian Renaissance in 1908, the place was only transformed into an incredible penthouse in the 1980s. The building, called the Silk Building, has 12 floors and is located in Manhattan, in the Noho neighborhood. In fact, the place is so big that it occupies an entire block.
Furthermore, it occupies important streets there, such as Lafayette and Broadway, which are constantly present in American films.
Cher’s apartment
For more than 10 years, Cher was sought after to add luxury to the residence. After all, the singer chose the best and most luxurious residences in New York, California and even Hawaii.
Furthermore, the artistic vision and luxurious decorative potential that she incorporated into her residences was perfect to rival her charisma and singing. Therefore, Cher was officially the first owner of this Silk Building penthouse.
Cher lived there from 1980 until 1990, when she sold it to music producer Russell Simmons for just $1.6 million.
Britney Spears stopped by the penthouse at the Silk Building
A few years after Russell’s departure, Britney Spears moved into the penthouse. For the singer’s fans, the place is even more exciting because it was there that Britney composed one of her biggest hits and a Grammy winner: Toxic.
However, the stay was short-lived, four years later the singer would have already moved away. On the other hand, she also made important changes regarding the structure and decoration of the apartment.
She purchased two units and integrated them. As a result, the apartment currently has four very well accommodated bedrooms on 351 square meters.
After Britney left, Keith Richards also passed by the building. There, he bought two entire floors for himself and built a recording studio.
Apartment features
Certainly the features that draw the most attention to this residence are the high ceilings and the outdoor terrace. In addition, the apartment also has an operational wooden fireplace and a bar in the main suite.
However, anyone looking for a place with five bedrooms has nothing to worry about. After all, the penthouse bathroom and living room can be reused and transformed into an incredible suite.
And for those who love luxury coverings, you will definitely like the combination of marble between the kitchen and bathroom. Chef would definitely love it!

The building is part of a neighborhood developed by John Jacob Astor many years ago, which originally housed several companies and clothing factories.
