Pop star Pink is embracing a new East Coast chapter with the purchase of a $21.5 million townhouse in Manhattan’s historic Greenwich Village. According to The Wall Street Journal, the Just Give Me a Reason singer’s new home is a five-bedroom Greek Revival residence dating back to 1849. Pink, whose real name is Alecia Beth Moore, relocated to New York City so her 14-year-old daughter, Willow, can pursue her Broadway ambitions.
The 8,000-square-foot townhouse is an appropriate choice for that goal, considering it already has an artistic energy: the sellers were the Forseca family, who had owned it since the 1950s. Gonzalo Fonseca was a sculptor; his wife, Elizabeth Kaplan Fonseca, was a painter; and their children, who grew up in the home, include author Isabel Fonseca, painter Caio Fonseca, designer Quina Fonseca, and the late artist Bruno Fonseca. It was also once home to sculptor Daniel Chester French, who designed the Abraham Lincoln statue at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C.
The 22-foot-wide townhouse hosts five bedrooms, five-and-a-half bathrooms, and a 54-foot-deep studio that reportedly dates to French’s tenancy, with a 30-foot-tall ceiling, a loft, a kitchenette, a fireplace, and three huge skylights. An elevator services the abode’s six floors. To top it off, there are multiple terraces, totalling over 800 square feet of outdoor space.
Pink relocated from California, where she owns a 25-acre vineyard in the Santa Ynez Valley that produces her own wine label, Two Wolves. She bought that property in 2013 for $8.99 million. The singer previously owned a Malibu mansion that was once home to Barry Manilow. “We actually moved here because I am an amazing mum,” the singer cracked last month while guest-hosting the Kelly Clarkson Show, “and also so Willow could study theatre and experience more Broadway.”
