Barbara Walters’ Manhattan Home on the Market for $19.8M

Published: April 27, 2023 | By: American Luxury Staff

The Manhattan residence of late journalist, prominent ABC employee and legendary talk-show host Barbara Walters is up for sale this spring. The five-bedroom unit is located in a UES co-op and currently tagged at $19.75 million.

The building is a legendary Lenox Hill address designed in the Italian Renaissance style. It was completed in 1925, and rises fourteen floors from terra firma. Walters’ apartment is situated on the sixth floor, offering fine Central Park views from its living room and master bedroom.

The residence’s interiors are lush and varied, with parquet floors, burled wood veneer, heavy curtains, marble tile, stenciled accents, and polished plaster appearing on a tour of the living spaces. The library is a distinguished gem, with figured wood and flush, nearly floor-to-ceiling built-in bookshelves along with a fireplace; like the living room and primary bedroom, it features Central Park views.

The most visually striking room is the sitting room and creative workspace that fills out the master suite; here, a mirror wall and a bit of glossy paint in a fairly subdued shade of red are the more salient features.

Walters passed away in December of last year.
