The Manhattan apartment of the late fashion editor Grace Mirabella has sold for close to its asking price of $2.195 million after approximately six months on the market. Located on the eighth floor of a prestigious Park Avenue cooperative, the apartment reflects Mirabella’s elegant taste.
Mirabella was editor-in-chief of Vogue from 1971 to 1988, where she highlighted designers like Halston and Saint Laurent and promoted photographers such as Helmut Newton. After learning of her departure from Vogue through the media, she launched her own magazine, Mirabella, which catered to women in their 30s and 40s with backing from Rupert Murdoch.
The two-bedroom, roughly 2,200-square-foot apartment was purchased by Mirabella in 2003, two years after her husband’s death. She resided there until her passing in December 2021 at the age of 92. The apartment features a striking entrance gallery with fluted columns and a painted wood floor, alongside an expansive living room adorned with herringbone parquet and a carved marble fireplace.
The original dining room has been reconfigured to include a dining area and a cozy library, while both bedrooms offer walk-in closets and ensuite bathrooms. Although the kitchen has been updated, it could use a style refresh.
Monthly maintenance fees are just over $3,800. The apartment was co-listed by Martha Kramer of Brown Harris Stevens and Josh Wesoky of Compass, with Coldwell Banker Warburg agent Jane Katz representing the buyer.
480 Park Avenue, designed by architect Emery Roth in 1929, is renowned for its grand lobby and luxurious features, including doorman services, a gym, and a landscaped roof terrace.
