Following buzz that Pink might be taking over Kelly Clarkson’s talkshow and amid her daughter Willow’s desire to pursue a career on Broadway, per People, the “Get the Party Started” singer has purchased a new celebrity-worthy home in New York City for $21.5 million, according to The Wall Street Journal.
The Townhouse Is Known for Being a Home to Artists
There are surely plenty of factors that attracted Pink to her new abode, including the fact that “the Greek Revival townhouse at 125 West 11th Street has long been a haven for artists,” according to The New York Times (NYT).
“Daniel Chester French, a sculptor best known for designing the statue of Lincoln in the memorial in Washington, moved there in the late 1880s, and it was also home to Valerie Bettis, the modern dancer and choreographer who worked with stars like Rita Hayworth,” the NYT explains.
The NYT also notes that “since late 1957, the Greenwich Village house, erected in 1849 between Seventh Avenue and Avenue of the Americas, has been in the Fonseca family. The Uruguayan sculptor Gonzalo Fonseca and Elizabeth Kaplan Fonseca, a painter, raised their four children there, among them, the author Isabel Fonseca, whose books include ‘Bury Me Standing: The Gypsies and Their Journey.’ (Two sons were also accomplished artists and their oldest daughter a clothing designer.)”
Ms. Fonseca discussed the home in an email to the NYT when it went up for sale in 2024 for $25 million, saying, “Interesting how few owners the house has had in its entire life.”
Explaining that “the home, bought from Ms. Bettis, had been a wedding gift to her parents from her maternal grandfather,” per the NYT, she noted, “We four children and the grandchildren were lucky to have the house as a constant in our lives, even when we grew up and moved away.”
When Ms. Kaplan Fonseca passed away in late 2022 at age 93, the townhouse was eventually put on the market for the first time in almost 67 years.
The Home Boasts ‘Unique Architecture and Artistic Soul’
When Pink moves into her new home, she’ll be able to enjoy the fact that “it has been modernly renovated,” yet still boasts “unique architecture and artistic soul,” according to Robb Report (RR). “The 22-foot-wide townhouse spans nearly 7,900 square feet. As configured, there are five (and up to seven) bedrooms and five bathrooms, plus a powder room filtered throughout the elevator-equipped six-floor residence, as well as a couple of grand living areas, the epic studio space, and more than 800 square feet of terraces and other private outdoor spaces.”
“Beyond the original brownstone stoop and pint-sized foyer, the parlor floor has been opened up into a 45-foot-long great room,” RR notes. “At one end is a lounge area with a fireplace, in the middle a dining space, and at the back a bright kitchen with custom cabinets and marble countertops.”
Downstairs, residents can find “a 600-square-foot family room and, behind that, the stark-white, 1,100-square-foot studio space,” per RR. “Almost like its own apartment, it has a kitchenette, bathroom and a laundry closet. A wall of windows opens the back of the vast room to a small private patio and a spiral staircase winds up to a lofted space below a glass ceiling.”
When it comes to they bedrooms, they are all described as “spacious,” RR points out, while the primary suite “sprawl[s] across the entire fourth floor and incorporat[es] an updated bathroom and a separate dressing room big enough to be converted into another bedroom.”
Head upstairs to the “airy sixth-floor sunroom,” and the singer will find that it “has 13-foot ceilings, a wet bar, a bathroom that makes it convertible to another bedroom, and, the cherry on this Greenwich Village residential sundae, a south-facing terrace with city views.”
It’s fascinating how this West 11th Street townhouse has remained such a sanctuary for artists like Gonzalo Fonseca over the decades—it really makes you wonder if Pink plans to keep that huge 1,100-square-foot studio space for her own creative projects or if she’ll be converting it given her daughter’s Broadway ambitions. Since the article mentions she’s expanding her portfolio, does anyone know if she manages these high-end acquisitions through a specific investment platform, or perhaps something localized like the ones discussed at GuiadeOlimpoBetPeru.com for managing digital assets and transactions?
