He bought the 8,292-square-foot home at No. 153 from Jasper Johns (yes, that one) in 1998 for $16.6 million, and sold the handsome 5BR/5BA for a nice PriceUpper of $32 million. The townhome is 32 feet wide with cathedral ceilings in two rooms, a library, a pretty interior courtyard, and staff quarters. Also: "Many original features remain including 3 fireplaces with superb mantles, hardwood floors and a charming fenestrated breezeway that connects the north and south wings of the house.“
Frederick Sterner designed the house in 1916 for Barbara Hatch, a great-granddaughter of railroad tycoon Cornelius Vanderbilt. A series of famous people have previously owned Hatch House. Modern artist Jasper Johns and burlesque performer Gypsy Rose Lee owned the home before Spike Lee.
