Singer Susanna Vega sells New York co-op for $1.8 million

Suzanne Vega has parted ways with her longtime home in Manhattan, but hasn’t traveled far.

Songwriter Luka quietly sold her 17-year-old apartment last month for a small profit.

Vega is known for her prolific music career and, more broadly, for being a celebrity, “synonymous with the Upper West Side,” as one local outlet put it. The 63-year-old grew up in the neighborhood, went to a nearby college, was inspired to write her hit “Tom’s Diner” by a famous neighborhood restaurant, and until last month called 37 W. 93rd St. your home. . (According to Crane, she lived away from Tony Nabe several times between her childhood and now—living at times in Chelsea, Harlem, and Tribeca.)

While Vega said goodbye to this particular Upper West division, she didn’t get far. Crane added that she moved just a block away to rent in Central Park West.

Vega bought her apartment in the pre-war apartment building in 2006 for $1.6 million and sold it in December for $1.8 million.

“The apartment is in a building that was built in 1908 and was part of a trend of townhouse residents moving into tenements,” said The Post of Dale Line, who brokered the deal with fellow Corcoran agent Roger Abunader. a property that is a block away from Central Park. “As a result, this apartment looks like a private home with a number of spacious public rooms overlooking the tree-lined street.”

The apartment has details such as teardrop wood interior doors, a wood-paneled dining area, transoms, sconce-style lighting, and original bathroom tiling. There is also a full wall with south facing windows, a flexible floor plan allowing it to be used as two to four bedrooms, two windowed bathrooms and a built in washer/dryer.

According to the previous listing, the main building has a marble entrance hall, an elevator, a living room, a storage room and a bicycle room.
