CNBC’s Money Honey has a new hive, the New York Observer’s “Manhattan Transfer” column reported today. Maria Bartiromo and husband Jonathan Steinberg have closed on a five-level townhouse on East 62nd Street. The price-tag: $6.5 million, the Observer says.
Here are the details, according to the Observer.
The five-bedroom house, east of Third Avenue, has a second-floor balcony overlooking the 39-foot-long backyard garden, plus a two-camera security system with a flat-screen monitor…Photographs from the recent Stribling listing show the townhouse as a customarily fancy Upper East Side place with big ruffled curtains and bigger chandeliers. Better yet, the place has four working wood-burning fireplaces, a 32-foot-long kitchen, and a wet bar between the second floor’s dining and drawing rooms.
That puts the Money Honey within walking distance of Lexington Bar and Books, where she can enjoy the Monday ladies night—women get stogies for free. But we couldn’t help but wonder, “East of Third Avenue?”
