Steven Van Zandt’s $6m New York church penthouse now asks $18.995m

Some New York homes come with an address; others come with a past. Musician and actor Steven Van Zandt’s Greenwich Village penthouse has both. According to a report by Realtor, housed inside a former 19th-century church, the dramatic duplex blends stained glass, timber beams and industrial details with the kind of theatrical interiors that feel perfectly suited to the E Street Band guitarist and actor. Van Zandt and his wife, Maureen Van Zandt, bought the three-bedroom, three-bathroom residence in 2008, a year after The Sopranos ended, paying $6 million for the 3,504-square-foot home. Nearly two decades later, the property is back on the market with a dramatically different price tag. Now, the penthouse is listed for $18.995 million, following an earlier $15 million asking price in June, states the online report.
