Journalist Joan Krohn has listed a 50-year-old New York City home for $1.79 million.

95-year-old journalist and filmmaker Joan Kron just listed her Upper East Side apartment for $1.79 million.

Apartment on the 11th floor at 205 E. 63rd St. has been her home for over 50 years. But don’t think she’s preparing to retire.

Not even close.

The former Allure columnist and co-founder of the New York Times Home section is still a successful documentary filmmaker. Kron is currently working with the Documentary Group on Weapons of Beauty, a film that traces the history of one of the world’s deadliest natural poisons, which has become, well, a weapon of beauty.

“I… am working on a documentary about the hidden history of botulinum toxin, the active ingredient in Botox, and its competitors,” Krohn said.

She also directed and produced the 2017 documentary Take My Nose… Please, which follows female comedians such as Judy Gold, Jackie Hoffman, Lisa Lampanelli and Aubrey Plaza as they talk about society’s demands to be beautiful.

Kron is also working on her biography, which will include her time in the 1960s pop art scene with Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein and others.

The apartment in a post-war rental building has a large living room leading onto a terrace and a formal dining room that seats 24, as well as a breakfast area with breakfast bar and plenty of storage space.

In addition, the residence has a home office with two built-in desks, a pantry and a private entrance.

Krohn and her late husband moved into the building around 1973 when it was being leased and about to become a co-op. “It was perfect for our newly reunited family of four. Three were his and one was mine, who lived with us on weekends,” she said. “I think we paid just under $100,000. It was a short walk or bus ride to each of our jobs. I worked for New York Magazine and he worked for Gray Advertising. And the sizes of the rooms were more generous than in other buildings we looked at. As it turned out, it was the guardian. I’ve lived here for 50 years.”

Krohn tells Gimma that he is moving to Miami to be closer to his family, in an area called Midtown, not far from the Design District. “I will be in my personal space in the same building as my son, his wife and college-age kids,” she said.

The listing brokers are Jane Martin and Dina Corey of Corcoran.
