The Midtown Manhattan home of the late renowned hairstylist John Barrett — known for creating the famed “Bergdorf Blonde” look — has hit the market for $1.99 million, sources tell Gimme Shelter.
The property snoops at Curbed first broke news of the listing.
Barrett’s celeb clientele included political, royal and Hollywood A-listers — from Princess Diana to Reese Witherspoon, Katie Holmes, Martha Stewart, “Sex and the City” author Candace Bushnell and Hillary Clinton, who reportedly spent $600 on a haircut during her 2016 presidential campaign.
Barrett’s salon was regally perched in Bergdorf Goodman’s penthouse, overlooking Central Park, from 1996 to 2019 before he launched his own salon nearby on East 57th Street. Both were within walking distance from this Parc Vendôme home at 333 W. 56th St.
The stunning 1,658-square-foot residence, where Barrett often entertained, was also featured in Architectural Digest. Barrett passed away last August at age 66 from blood cancer.
The 10th-floor prewar condo features two bedrooms and two baths. It’s a combo of a one-bedroom and a studio, currently configured as a large one-bedroom with a small guest suite.
The open floor plan features eight casement windows with a Midtown skyline view and plenty of wall room for art; Barrett was also known for his collection. There’s a large living and dining area with a table that can seat 10 people. A library “niche” has custom built-in bookcases, along with a music alcove with a grand piano that was once part of the original Tavern on the Green.
The guest bedroom features a built-in daybed and pocket doors that separate it from the living room. There’s also a chef’s kitchen that leads to a small terrace for al fresco dining. The main bedroom suite boasts a walk in closet and dressing area with custom cabinetry, and an ensuite bath.
The neo-Classical Parc Vendôme, with its mansard roof and four entrances, was built in 1931. Amenities include gardens, a common roof deck, a gym, a billiards room, a banquet room and a music room.
The listing brokers are John Caraccioli and Harlan Simon of Brown Harris Stevens.
