Legend sells Village condo, moves to E. 4th St.

Grammy-winning singer-songwriter John Legend is in contract to sell his two-bedroom East Village condo for $1 million, trading it in for a 1,300-square-foot apartment in a new 15-story tower at 52 East 4th Street on the corner of the Bowery, which he purchased for $1.9 million. The Bowery spot, which has 14-foot ceilings and views to the north, south and west, isn’t “cookie-cutter,” according to Legend, and was listed for $2.3 million when he signed the contract in August. Legend was asking $1.2 million for the two-bedroom condo, for which Jason Walker of Prudential Douglas Elliman had the listing. [WSJ, 2nd item] and [Curbed]
