Two East Village Townhouses Linked to Mary-Kate Olsen Ask $16 Million
123 and 125 East 10th street are two neighboring townhouses located in Manhattan’s East Village—and both are linked to renaissance woman Mary-Kate Olsen and her husband, French banker Olivier Sarkozy (the half brother of former French President Nicolas Sarkozy).
Sarkozy owned 123 East 10th Street before he married Olsen in 2015, however the couple never lived there. Instead, they rented 125 East 10th Street until they ended up buying and moving into their current home in Turtle Bay Gardens.
Now, the neighboring East Village homes are on the market separately—with the option to buy and combine both houses into one $16 million mansion, which would reportedly create one of the largest private gardens in Manhattan.
123 East 10th Street
James Renwick designed the twin townhouses in 1854. Renwick was considered one of the most successful architects of his time and is famous for having designed numerous structures, including St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York City as well as The Smithsonian Institute Building in Washington, DC, commonly known as "The Castle." Pictured is 123 East 10th Street.
The five-story townhouse at 123 East 10th Street features ten rooms and approximately 4,200 square feet of living space. In addition to a spacious eat-in kitchen that leads out to a private backyard garden, the home features a parlor floor with classic crown moldings, original wood-burning fireplaces, and a full-floor master suite. The current owners are artist Aaron Young and his French-born wife, Laure Hériard Dubreuil, who is the founder and CEO of luxury retailer The Webster.
