Singing heartthrob Ricky Martin has purchased a unit at the 170 East End Avenue condominium development, the New York Post reported. Martin, who has twin sons through a surrogate mother, purchased the unit for $5.9 million, sources told the Post. The home, located between East 87th and 88th streets, has four bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms. It measures 3,150 square feet. The unit was last listed at $6.5 million.
It appears that Barbara Russo and Nick Russo of the Corcoran Group had the listing, which first hit the market this past February for $7.5 million before undergoing three price chops.
The home has 10-foot ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows and four en-suite bathrooms that have floor-to-ceiling marble and travertine stone finishes. [NYP, 1st item] — Zachary Kussin
