If you’re a painter, a sculptor or a writer–or you just like to be in close proximity to their kind–you’d be in good company with this 7,200-square-foot townhouse at 167 East 69th Street in the Upper East Side. The 25-foot-wide Neo-Georgian former carriage house is currently owned by Ann Brashares, the author of young adult series “The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants” and her husband, painter Jacob Collins. The property itself was used by the Sculpture Center for “close to half a century,” according to the listing, and neighbors have included Mark Rothko and art dealer Larry Gagosian. It’s asking $18.95 million–curb cut and garage included.
