Steven Van Zandt’s Village penthouse in a converted church asks $15M

Steven “Little Steven” Van Zandt, musician and longtime guitarist in Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band (also known for his role as Silvio Dante in “The Sopranos”), is selling his penthouse condo in a converted Romanesque Revival church at 135 West 4th Street. Van Zandt and his wife, Maureen, who is also an actor, bought the property for $6 million in 2008. Asking $15 million, the duplex penthouse is, as the listing calls it, “unapologetically bold,” with its unique architectural framework and interiors befitting a consigliere.

The home’s upper level is a lofty maximalist paradise beneath 20-foot wood-clad ceilings. Full-height stained glass windows frame the space with even more color, punctuated by statement pendant lighting.

Through a long, windowed gallery, a bold loft kitchen opens to a large dining room.

The most dramatic feature in this space is just outside a room-spanning glass accordion wall: A 500-square-foot private terrace with open sky views is outfitted with a full outdoor kitchen, perfect for dinner parties, private sunsets, and daytime gardening.

On the lower level, two large bedroom suites flank a sprawling media lounge. The middle space could easily be refitted as a third bedroom. Each space is accented by the building’s bold architecture, enhanced by the owners’ colorful, creative vision.

The condominium building, known as Novare, was built in 1860 as the Washington Square Methodist Church, also known as the Peace Church. It was converted to eight residences in 2006.
