Prolific American artist Andy Warhol certainly needs no introduction. The Pop Art artist has created some of the most recognizable pieces, from the Campbell’s Soup series to the silkscreen prints of Marilyn Monroe to the Dollar Bill series.

The place he called home from 1959 to 1974—undeniably the most important years of his as an artist—has hit the market for $7 million, and is listed by Loy Carlos of Nest Seekers. The four-story townhouse in Carnegie Hill on New York’s Upper East Side was designed in 1899 by renowned architect Henry J. Hardenberg, who is responsible for The Plaza Hotel and The Dakota, among other iconic buildings. The home served as both Warhol’s residence and studio and is where he created aforementioned groundbreaking works, including the Campbell’s Soup and Dollar Bill series. Not only does it represent a huge art legacy, but the townhome has been redesigned for modern buyers.

Several original architectural details remain, like original hardwood flooring, five fireplaces, and oversized windows and doors. The home spans 3,072 square feet and has four bedrooms, four baths, and a powder room filtered throughout four stories. There’s also a cellar that houses the mechanical room, laundry, and storage. The garden floor features a light-filled kitchen and a breakfast area. The kitchen has new custom lacquered cabinetry, state-of-the-art appliances, a small wine fridge, and oversized window. The open-plan room also has a small den/office area and connects to a charming private outdoor garden area, perfect for al fresco dining.

The parlor floor just above the garden level is the heart of the home with a grand living room with high ceilings that have original architectural features, a fireplace, and bright windows that flood the room with natural light. There’s also a library, which can double as a formal dining room, on the opposite end of the living space. The second and third floor are dedicated to the four en suite bedrooms, and the primary suite is found on the second floor. Nearly all bedrooms have a working fireplace, except the primary suite, and feature original hardwood floors, high ceilings, and large windows. Perfect for avid art collectors, the stark-white walls are ideal for hanging a prized art collection. The home is a canvas for creativity, and there’s even a grand staircase—painted white—that connects from the basement to the top floor.
