Taylor Swift’s former home sitting on the market after being priced at $18 million

• Located on 23 Cornelia Street, the 5,500-square-foot, five bedroom carriage house was built in 1870, but in the century since has undergone several facelifts
• In 2016, the townhouse – last sold for $11.5million – was occupied by a then-27-year-old Swift, who rented it as her other Big Apple home was being renovated
• For the next few months, Swift resided there – an experience she alluded to in the ninth song of her seventh studio album, Cornelia Street 

Taylor Swift’s former NYC apartment where she fell in love with Joe Alwyn is on the market for an eye-watering $18 million – $6 million more than it previously sold for. 

In 2016, the idyllic townhouse on Cornelia Street – which last sold for $11.5million in 2019 – was occupied by Swift, then 27, who temporarily rented the apartment while her $50million loft a few blocks away was undergoing renovations.

Swift only lived there for several months but it clearly made a lasting impression, with the street becoming the title for her 2019 song on her seventh studio album, Lover. 

The song features lyrics that speak to the early days of a relationship with a man many believe to be Joe Alwyn – who split from in March – who she starting dating around the time she lived at the swanky West Village building.

Now the stunning 5,500-square-foot, five-bed abode which was built in 1870 to store horse-drawn carriages, is up for grabs – but fans will need $18 million to bag it. 

‘I rent a place on Cornelia Street,’ Swift sings in the first verse of the 2019 song, in which she recalled words shared with a mystery man in the back of a car after a night drinking.

The love ballad goes on to tell the story of a new, budding relationship between Swift and the unnamed man – who many have since assumed to be Alwyn – and the pop star being scared for its potential end, which would then make it too difficult for her to ever return to the apartment. 

‘I hope I never lose you, hope it never ends/I’d never walk Cornelia Street again/That’s the kind of heartbreak time could never mend/I’d never walk Cornelia Street again,’ the song goes.

Back in March, that prophecy came true, when it was revealed that Swift and her beau of more than six years had broken up.

Roughly a month after that was first reported, realtors at the Corcoran Group posted a listing indicating the apartment on 23 Cornelia Street was up for sale, for a price well beyond that of other homes in the neighborhood – by several millions of dollars.

Speaking to Curbed Friday, staffers at the Madison Avenue based real estate firm explained how they are confident that the home’s rich history – as well as its number of unusual features – will help command the hefty price tag. 

‘I am the biggest fan of unique properties,’ said Sydney Blumstein of the renovated 19th-century relic, which comes complete with a slew of fireplaces and well-situated terraces.

‘You can’t comp out a private swimming pool on a quiet street like Cornelia,’ Blumstein, a native of nearby Greenwich Village, went on to add.

Moreover, the home is thought to be a draw for a certain caliber of buyer who are seeking a centrally located  locale with all the bustle of NYC’s lively downtown, as well as a posh digs that also allows tenants peace and privacy.

Helping to achieve this air of seclusion is the fact that Cornelia is a lesser known side street – and the added detail that there’s a garage where more high-profile buyers can get enter and exit their vehicles without fear of being detected by paparazzi.

Corcoran Assistant Broker David Kornmeier remarked: ‘Some people like having a pool and some don’t, but everyone likes a garage.’

Aside from the garage and aforementioned air of privacy, the home also features several sizable windows, four full bathrooms, two half bathrooms, and a tiled lounge area on the bottom floor near the pool.

It also boats dramatic double heights ceilings, thee gas fireplaces, and beautiful hardwood floors throughout.

The kitchen, moreover, is adorned with both marble and granite counter tops, and is adjoined to a dining area with floor-to-ceiling casement windows that open onto the West Village and a private backyard, away from the street.

On the street side is a bedroom that could double as a home office, which looks right out onto historic Cornelia Street.

On the top floor of the three-story house, prospective tenants will find  two more bedroom suites, each with their own private terrace. 

Down the hall, the grand master bedroom features high ceilings, a walk-in closet and a dramatic marble bath – with its own glass enclosed shower, balcony, and personal skylight.

The terrace boasts its own outdoor lounge with an outdoor fireplace. Further upstairs, private rooftop access awaits, with terrace that offers unprecedented views views of one of the city’s most sought-after neighborhoods.

Swifties were seen descending on the property last month, as news of Swift’s breakup with Alwyn became public knowledge.

The home – which Swift has not lived in since 2017 – last sold in 2019 for $11.5 million, according to property records.
