Courtney Love’s historic loft combines rockstar luxury with the raw essence of New York — and it’s on the market for nearly $9.5 million.
The lofts of New York City are rich in history, from real estate heritage to the personal stories of those who lived in them. A prime example: Courtney Love, who lived in a pre-war apartment building in SoHo in the early 2000s (now owned by Stefan Sonnenfeld and Missy Papageorge, co-founders of Company 3). That very unit is now for sale, and it’s easy to see why it was a perfect fit for the rock star.
Listed at $9,495,000, the 370-square-meter property features exposed brick walls, original wooden columns, a gas fireplace, and soaring ceilings — serving as the perfect backdrop for an eclectic interior design.
With three bedrooms and three bathrooms, the loft is luxurious not only in its generous space (especially for Manhattan) but also in its preservation of natural architectural elements.
The hallway immediately captures attention, decorated with massive golden and silver disco ball sculptures adorning the wooden floor and ceiling. A large portrait of David Bowie hangs on the wall, emphasizing the creative soul of the home.
The living room is both a cozy retreat and a visual gallery, filled with intriguing elements. An improvised gallery wall rises above the fireplace, while a grand piano anchors the room. A white sofa serves as a solid base for bold patterns and textures like leather and animal prints featured on the furniture and rugs.
We love multifunctional spaces, and when they are well designed, they are unbeatable. A partial wall separates the kitchen from the office, perfectly delineating the living, dining, and working areas. The monochrome color palette in this part of the loft adds a charmingly modern touch, contrasting beautifully with the wooden floors.
A mini-library is another highlight of the apartment, offering ample space for books and décor with a mix of open and closed shelving.
The primary bedroom continues the theme with exposed brick walls, wooden window frames, and the same wooden floors that run throughout the home, creating a rustic yet contemporary feel.
The sitting area invites vintage exploration, with a leather armchair and a Victorian-era chair serving as both décor and functional furniture.
Finally, the loft features a unique twist on a home gym, with a punching bag installed right in the hallway.
