Little Steven Van Zandt’s $15M NYC Penthouse: A Statement of Rock and Glamour

Except for one small detail

            <p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   ">

Close your eyes for a second or at least the duration of the wink of a young girl’s eye and imagine how you think Little Steven Van Zandt’s penthouse apartment would look. Tiger print clashing with rainbow print everywhere? Head shop throw blankets over all the furniture? Psychedelic stained glass? Now visit 6sqft’s realty listing for the abode and see how accurate your guess was. About the only surprise is the French version of a movie poster for *The Dolce Vita*. French? In Silvio Dante’s home?</p>

Van Zandt is selling his penthouse, located in a renovated 19th century church in Manhattan’s Greenwich Village, with an asking price of $15 million (or roughly $4,200 per square foot). The flamboyant E Street Band guitarist and actor purchased the three-bedroom, three-bath duplex in 2008, a year after *The Sopranos* concluded, for $6 million. It features 20-foot ceilings, stained glass, and an elevated patio. However, the space is unrecognizable as a typical residence, as Van Zandt and his wife have transformed it into a VIP-style Hard Rock Café, a look that only he could pull off.</p>

The official listing describes the penthouse as "defined by dramatic architectural framework and commanding presence," noting it is "a rare opportunity to inhabit a space where structure and historical context elevate rather than define, within one of Downtowns most distinctive residential conversions." Not included in the listing are the inherent bragging rights that the place once belonged to an E Streeter, with Bruce Springsteen likely using one of the bathrooms—though which one remains a mystery.</p>
