Soho townhouse with celeb pedigree finds buyer with $13M ask

A Soho townhouse that once caught the eye of actress Kate Hudson is in contract.

The 25-foot-wide brick and steel home, at 40 Sullivan St., first went on the market for $12.95 million in 2018 and was last asking $12.49 million.

The townhouse is the last of three adjacent homes that had been owned by real estate and tech investor Arthur Becker, the ex-husband of designer Vera Wang.

Becker was an early investor in top architect Cary Tamarkin’s 10 Sullivan St., and had his stake of around $20 million transferred to the three adjacent townhouses — Nos. 30, 40 and 50 Sullivan St. All three of which homes were designed by Tamarkin and developed by Becker.

The 6,700-square-foot townhouse features five bedrooms, four bathrooms and three powder rooms.

Built in 2015, there’s also 1,600 square feet of outdoor space, including a backyard garden with an outdoor kitchen, and a landscaped, irrigated rooftop terrace with an additional outdoor kitchen/wet bar.

Inside, details include a media room, gym, high speed elevator, dumb waiter, laundry chute, 11-foot ceilings, radiant heat and oak floors.

The master suite takes up an entire floor and features a fireplace, custom closets, a spa-like bathroom and a 180-square-foot terrace.

The home is also smart-wired and comes with its own security system. The buyers are a New York-based family who have been looking for the past year, and it’s an all-cash deal, said their broker, Thomas Lee, of Compass.

“The townhouse market is hot. People are looking for privacy and space. They saw this property over the holidays and fell in love with it,” said Lee, who also repped the buyers of 50 Sullivan St., financial advisor Calvin Bruce Hayes and Dr. Rachael Winchester Hayes.

That townhouse sold for $12.25 million in 2019. No. 30 sold for $12.29 million in 2019. The listing broker of 40 Sullivan is Robert Dankner, of Prime Manhattan Residential.
