Screen legend Greta Garbo’s House is on the market!
After her death in 1990, the apartment — which is located in Manhattan’s Sutton Place neighborhood — stayed in the Garbo family until 2017 when it was sold for $8.5 million, according toCompass, which holds the listing alongside Corcoran.
Now, the three-bedroom property overlooking the East River is for sale once again, this time for $7.25 million.
Though the kitchen and dining room have been renovated, the apartment still has an Old Hollywood feel. According to the listing, the walls and headboard of the primary bedroom are “adorned with Garbo’s favorite rose-hued Fortuni silk.”

The listing also states Garbo was “drawn” to the home, where she lived from 1954 until her death, because her view of the passing boats in the East River below reminded her of “her beloved, native Stockholm.”

The home also includes a formal dining room off of the renovated kitchen that is complete with high-end appliances.
In addition to the silk-covered primary bedroom there are two additional bedroom that also feature river views and an en-suite bathroom. One is currently set up as an office.
The home wasfeatured in an episode ofOpen Housein 2017. It was listed for $5.95 at the time and realtor Brian Lewis led a tour, calling out the knotty pine finishes as a another Scandinavian touch and a “secret bar” that’s been in place since Garbo’s residency.
