Grammy Award-winning singer John Legend has listed his East Village condominium, at 52 East 4th Street and Bowery, for $2.95 million, the New York Post reported. The two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment is in a 15-story building with 18 units, a landscaped roof deck, a swimming pool and interiors by Andres Escobar. The 1,359-square-foot condo has 14-foot ceilings, as well as a private elevator landing. Legend, who shared the apartment with long-term girlfriend Christine Teigen, is ready to upgrade, the Post said. He purchased the apartment for $1.9 million in 2009. Prudential Douglas Elliman broker Jason Walker has the listing. It seems Legend likes working with Walker; the Elliman broker also helped sell his previous East Village pad. [Post, 1st item]

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]
