Grammy Award-winning musician John Mayer sold his Manhattan apartment at 225 Lafayette Street for $3.91 million, according to public records filed with the city late last month.

The singer-songwriter put the two-bedroom, two-bathroom Soho unit up for sale in October, asking $3.89 million, listings website StreetEasy shows.

Susan Raanan of Brown Harris Stevens had the listing for the property. The identity of the buyer, who purchased the unit via an LLC, was not clear.

Raanan declined to comment, while a representative for Mayer could not immediately be reached.

Mayer purchased the 2,063-square-foot property for $2.17 million in 2005 under the name Homelife, LLC. “Home Life” is also the title of a song from Mayer’s 2003 album “Heavier Things.”
