Rosie O’Donnell Sells Her Manhattan Penthouse After Two-Year Listing
After an extensive two-year journey on the real estate market, comedian and talk show host Rosie O’Donnell has successfully finalized the sale of her penthouse situated in the Turtle Bay area of Midtown Manhattan.
Market Journey
Initially listed for $8.3 million in the spring of 2023, the impressive property underwent several price adjustments, with a relisting near the $8 million mark before ultimately reappearing for $7.5 million in April 2024. The penthouse is now under contract for $6.9 million, reflecting a significant price reduction of $1.1 million from the original purchase price of $8 million in 2017. The property was listed by Caroline Bass of Corcoran.

Occupying the top two levels of the 33-story Sterling Plaza Tower, this duplex residence spans approximately 3,600 square feet and includes:
- Four spacious bedrooms
- Three extravagant bathrooms
- Renovated interiors with Russian wide-plank oak flooring
- A stunning Guggenheim-inspired staircase
- Automated smart-home systems
The penthouse features an expansive rooftop terrace that offers breathtaking views of iconic structures such as the Chrysler and Empire State buildings, along with the East River.
Interior Highlights
A beautifully designed living space serves as the heart of the home, featuring:
- A large honed black granite wood-burning fireplace surrounded by windows

Relocation to Ireland
O’Donnell, known for her roles in notable films like Harriet the Spy and A League of Their Own, has decided to relocate to Ireland with her son, Clay. This decision, according to a recent report from the New York Post, stems from her feelings about American politics. In a TikTok video, O’Donnell stated, “Although I was never someone who thought I would move to another country, that’s what I decided would be best for myself and my 12-year-old child.”
