Barbra Streisand’s former New York home is for sale: showstopping £8.7m penthouse overlooks Central Park

The New York penthouse that was Barbra Streisand’s home for 30 years is on the market.

Just across from Central Park, it fills the top two floors of a 22-storey Art Deco building designed by Emery Roth, the architect behind many of NYC’s top hotels and apartment blocks of the Twenties and Thirties.

The singing and acting superstar, who is playing Hyde Park on July 7, sold to the current owners for £3.2 million in 2002.

They now seek £8.7 million, and there’s an eye-watering £9,661 a month to pay in service charges.

The 3,600sq ft apartment has four bedrooms and three bathrooms, along with 2,500sq ft of terraces.
