Bon Jovi purchases NYC condo for $18.9M

Musician Jon Bon Jovi is no longer “Livin’ on a Prayer.” The rock legend is firmly ensconced in a luxe condo in New York City.

The best-selling singer and songwriter recently purchased a four-bedroom, four-bath Greenwich Lane condo in the West Village for a cool $18,940,564, reported the Real Deal.

The high-floor corner residence hits a high note. The apartment is one of 199 units built in 2013, and includes views of downtown Manhattan and the Hudson River. There are also views of New Jersey, in case the musician is feeling homesick for his home state.

The pad includes direct elevator access, a private south-facing balcony, and luxury finishes and details, according to the listing description.

The interior space includes floor-to-ceiling windows, rich oak hardwood floors, “exceptional” custom millwork, and 6-inch baseboards throughout.

The private elevator opens into a spacious gallery that leads into a 40-foot living room and Juliet balconies. The separate chef’s kitchen features high-end appliances and walnut-paneled cabinetry, and includes a family room and dining area that leads to the private 44-square-foot balcony. The corner master suite features floor-to-ceiling windows, and a spacious, windowed master bath.

If Manhattan isn’t enough of a playground, the building offers all kinds of diversions: With the condo comes 24-hour concierge and maintenance services, access to the private valet parking garage, plus a state-of-the-art fitness center with a pool, whirlpool, steam rooms, golf simulator, and treatment rooms. Bon Jovi can also access a central garden and reflecting pool, residents’ lounge, dining room with chef’s kitchen, a 21-seat screening room, playroom, and bicycle and cold storage.

Not only does the 55-year-old appear to have a keen eye for real estate, he also seems to have mastered the art of the deal. The high-end apartment was last listed in June for $19.5 million, so the rocker managed to score a price reduction as well.
