Pink bought a yellow Greenwich Village townhouse. The pop star paid $21.5 million for the historic six-story home at 125 West 11th Street, as the Wall Street Journal first reported. Built in 1849, the cheerfully painted Greek Revival mansion has served as a haven for artists for over a century, most recently the same family for 70 years. Following a three-year renovation, the roughly 7,900-square-foot home first hit the market for $25 million in 2024 before being reduced by $3.5 million last fall.
According to the WSJ, Pink, aka Alecia Beth Moore, relocated to New York so her teenage daughter could study theater and experience Broadway. The musician and her family continue the trend of artists living in the Greenwich Village home.
As 6sqft previously reported, Daniel Chester French, the sculptor who created the Abraham Lincoln statue at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., lived there in the late 1880s. French designed and built the home’s paneled studio, which measures 54 feet deep with soaring ceilings and three huge skylights. In this studio, decades later, dancer Valerie Bettis created choreographic routines for Hollywood stars like Rita Hayworth.
The Fonseca family has owned the home for the last 70 years, starting with Uruguayan sculptor Gonzalo Fonseca and painter Elizabeth Kaplan Fonseca and their children, one of whom is author Isabel Fonseca, as the New York Times reported.
The 22-foot-wide single-family home has an elevator that connects all six floors, including the rooftop terrace with sweeping city views.
The garden level’s stunning artist studio steals the show, accessible via exterior wrought-iron doors. The sprawling space features two 30-foot peaks with three colossal skylights. A lofted area is reached by a spiral staircase.
On this floor, there are two wood-burning fireplaces, a kitchenette, a full bath, a washer and dryer, and access to the cellar. French doors lead to a back patio.
Up the classic stoop, the parlor level features a spacious living room with 10-foot ceilings and one of the three wood-burning fireplaces. This level also includes a well-equipped kitchen, a dining area, and a powder room.
With lots of space to work with, the home could easily deliver seven bedrooms. Currently, the third floor is configured as two bedrooms with a shared bathroom, but could become the primary suite or home office.
Facing the tree-lined street, the primary bedroom takes up the fourth floor and includes a large dressing room and an en-suite bath with a double marble vanity, soaking tub, and separate shower. The fifth floor features two more bedrooms, one of which has access to a private south-facing terrace.
The top floor offers beamed ceilings reaching over 13 feet high and casement windows. There’s a wet bar with a wine fridge, a full bath, and a rooftop terrace offering views across lower Manhattan.
