It's a little underwhelming for a Morgan property. I wonder why Sonja decided to sell. She prizes all connections to that family.

She's been trying to sell the dump for years. no takers. This house is next to a parking garage...noise...
Also at the end of the street on 3rd ave is a brand new subway entrance. lots of foot traffic. There is also another subway station entrance on lexington ave. across the street, there is a public plaza with seating on 3rd ave where people hang out...i.e. homeless with their shopping carts.
I'm sure you can think of better ways to waste your millions...

I wouldn’t turn it down as a gift, but I’d be concerned about the cars entering & exiting the parking garage two steps from the front door. The interior seems roomy vs a typical NYC place. I’d definitely want the HVAC systems on the roof carefully examined. Sonja seems like the kind of person who would defer a lot of maintenance until the merde hits the oscillator. Those rooftop units are big bucks to repair or replace.

Sonja Morgan was having money problems, incl. bankruptcy for years. She got involved in a failed movie-making venture involving Travolta, got sued, $7 million judgment against her.
She should have sold this house long, long ago. She was living in it like it was Grey Gardens: broken elevator, no heat (bundled up inside the house), etc.
I do like the town house, though.

Yeah, the massive bathrooms were head-scratchers. You could probably turn them into more of a dressing room situation.
Also, the kitchen is facing the view, which is nice, but unusual for the NYC apartments in Tasteful Friends. Usually, the kitchens are in the backs of the apartments.

No garage. What do you do with your car? I guess it can go in the parking garage next door. And the dining room on the second floor? And the bedrooms stacked above? You'll spend your life in the elevator.

Pleasant enough place, with some nice furniture and fittings, but the rest looks as if it has been lifted from a McMansion. Its surprisingly underwhelming, especially the lounge in the first pic. Filled with period furnishings it would look so much better. I'd also extend the ground floor lounge into what is now marked as an office, so it would flow directly into the garden. Put the office in one of the bedrooms

R27, they may be "used to it", but in this case it means the bedroom curtains must be drawn pretty much all the time you're in there. There's not even one bedroom (that we saw) that doesn't have neighbors' windows a few feet away. It not just sex or changing clothes; who wants some stranger watching them while they sleep?

All I see out of the windows is other people’s windows. I get living in a city but there is usually one redeeming view, at least at this price point. Where is it here? The facade of the building behind it is charmless and depressing.

I think it's reasonably priced for a townhouse - that may be the COVID price.
She needs to dump that place - the taxes and maintenance alone were probably killing her.
She was insane to keep it so many years anyway - unless, she didn't have a choice? Wasn't the divorce a long, drawn-out process? She may not have been able to sell it until the divorce was final?

Sonja has had it on the market for years, but doesn't want to sell it. Per a interview with one of her old interns/assistants (who made $200 a week), Sonja would not clean before a showing, left the dogs out and generally did everything she could to sabotage it from going under contract.

Now...would you spend 8 million bucks to live there? lol.

The parking garage should be a huge negative - however, a couple of items that may make it less of a nightmare:
1) It doesn't appear to have doors - so there wouldn't be the constant opening and closing of a gate, which would be hard to sleep through
2) The parking garage looks to be part of the condo building next door. I wouldn't expect a lot of NY'ers to be using their cars that often and any overflow parking they have for non-residents would be in the daytime, most likely.
