The Manhattan co-op that late fashion maven Kate Spade resided in before passing away last year is now for sale. The designer purchased the 3,025-square-foot apartment in 1999 with Andy Spade, her husband and business partner, for $2,675,000, as noted by the Wall Street Journal. 

Sited at the corner of Park Avenue and 77th Street, the 3,025-square-foot apartment features an elongated, octagonal foyer with 10-foot-high ceilings and lustrous, herringbone-pattern original hardwood floors.
