Rachel Maddow lists her West Village apartment for $2.4M

As the Post first reported, Rachel Maddow has put her West Village apartment on the market for $2,349,000. The MSNBC political commentator and her partner Susan Mikula bought the two-bedroom co-op for $1,250,000 in 2010 from REM frontman Michael Stipe. The home is located on a cobblestone street at 130 Jane Street, a former paper warehouse that still retains its original wooden beams.

It appears that Maddow has been proactive about the 1,400-square-foot apartment’s selling power. According to the listing, the buyer will be “the 1st to live in this newly renovated home,” and the Post says that the listing photos show a staged apartment. In addition to all new infrastructure systems and finishes, it features new hickory wood floors, original wood support columns, and a wood-burning fireplace with a floor-to-ceiling Virginia soap stone-clad surround. In the kitchen, there’s marble counters, a Sub-Zero side by side refrigerator, Wolf gas range, Bosch Dishwasher, and Waste King garbage disposal sink system. And let’s not forget those Hudson River views.

There’s a powder room in the hall just off the kitchen and decent closet space in the entry foyer. Pictured above is the secondary bedroom, currently configured as an office/den.

The master suite has a large walk-in closet through which is a marble-clad en-suite bathroom.

The building is just a half a block from Hudson River Park and a couple short blocks to the southern end of the High Line and the Whitney Museum. It offers an attended lobby, resident superintendent, bike room, and laundry room.
