Greta Garbo’s longtime apartment is on the market for the first time since the Swedish star bought it in 1953.
The notoriously reclusive actress resided in the full-floor co-op at 450 East 52nd Street from 1954 until her death in 1990. Garbo left her entire estate, including this three-bedroom, three-bathroom abode, to her niece, Gray Reisfield, according to the New York Times.
Encompassing the entire fifth floor of the Campanile, a private elevator entrance opens in to the formal entry gallery, and the living room includes a working gas fireplace—apparently, Garbo displayed once displayed much of her extensive art collection on the wood-paneled walls, and some of her artwork and French antiques remain in the 2,855-square-foot apartment.
Asking $5,950,000
