Annie Leibovitz, noted photographer and real-estate enthusiast, has sold her West Village condo for $8 million, according to city records — a half-million less than she listed it for last winter. Leibovitz, who’s been on something of a selling spree lately, off-loaded her Central Park West co-op for $10.625 million in February, then listed her 65-acre farm in Bolinas, California, in the spring. (That one has yet to find a buyer.)
The apartment, as shown in listing photos, also has luxurious details like heated bluestone floors. It is, as the listing notes, “currently set up as an artist’s photography studio.”

The West Village condo is a two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath loft in architect Cary Tamarkin’s 495 West Street, a boxy 1998 structure with bands of corbelled brick, industrial-style steel-frame windows, and just nine sprawling apartments (mostly floor-throughs, plus a few duplexes). Tamarkin is known for designing and developing luxury condos that still feel like artists’ lofts: Leibovitz’s 3,200-square-foot apartment has huge steel-frame windows, exposed columns and concrete, and an open layout. There are also plenty of luxurious touches: heated bluestone floors, a wood-burning fireplace, a soaking tub, Hudson River views, and a library nook. (Leibovitz had a similar nook in her Central Park West apartment.) The condo was listed with Corcoran’s Deborah Kern, the same broker Leibovitz worked with on her Central Park West place. The listing described the property as being “currently set up as an artist’s photography studio.”
While we wish we had a splashy buyer to tell you about, the property was purchased through an LLC, TSN West Street, registered to a modest attached home in Sheepshead Bay.
Annie Leibovitz loves a book nook. The West Village condo, as shown in listing photos, has one, and so did her Upper West Side co-op.

Leibovitz bought the condo just two years ago, in October 2022, for $6.5 million, so she made around a million on the sale after broker’s fees. (The Central Park West co-op sold for $2 million over asking, albeit for almost a million less than she paid for it.) Her West Village real-estate holdings were once vast, but she sold her compound on Greenwich Street for $28.5 million to David Lauren and Lauren Bush Lauren in 2014.
This appears to be Leibovitz’s last property in New York City, although she still has a 228-acre estate in Rhinebeck, which she told the New York Times in an interview published around this time last year was her “family home.” But she wasn’t leaving the city, she said: “I live and work Downtown.” Well, not at 495 West Street anymore.
