Barbra Streisand sells her Manhattan house
In 1970, Barbra Streisand purchased this residence for $420,000. At that time, the artist was in the midst of a personal transition after her separation from actor Elliott Gould. Living with her young son Jason, she found refuge in this home after being rejected by several cooperatives in Manhattan. The house has thus become a sanctuary for the star, where she flourishes away from media pressures. This historic home, located at 49 East 80th Street in the sought-after Upper East Side neighborhood, is now on the market for $17.95 million. A place with unique architecture and a fascinating history, which will not fail to captivate the most demanding buyers.
