An internationally acclaimed celebrity portrait photographer is attempting to offload her Manhattan digs.
Annie Leibovitz, 74, has put her two-story Upper West Side co-op on the market — and for significantly less than what she paid for it close to a decade ago.
Leibovitz is seeking $8.6 million for the 3,500-square-foot property at the Brentmore, at 88 Central Park West. She purchased it for $11.3 million in 2014 in an effort to be closer to her daughters’ school, the New York Times first reported.
At that time, The Post reported that this unit was originally priced at $14.5 million.
In her years there, Leibovitz did a number of renovations throughout the four-bedroom, three-bathroom apartment — including creating separate spaces for an office and a living room library, and updating a guest bedroom and a bathroom. It is “priced to sell” at the current ask, the Corcoran Group’s Deborah Kern, who holds the listing, told the Times.
As for why she’s choosing to part with the pre-war abode, “The apartment is now too big for me,” Leibovitz explained to the publication.
Her three daughters are now grown and “building their own lives.” She lives and works downtown, while maintaining her upstate address in affluent Rhinebeck as “our family home,” she added.
The Central Park-facing unit, however, served her extremely well while rearing her children. The park “would be the girls’ front yard — riding bicycles, ice skating,” she said, adding that “one of my daughters walked across the park to school almost every day.”
In addition to its prime location, the home also has various original details. Those include arched doorways in the entrance gallery, a coffered ceiling in the dining room and a decorative fireplace in the sprawling living room — as well as an eat-in kitchen with a butler’s pantry and a grand staircase leading to the upper level, where the corner primary suite has an ensuite windowed bath.
The building, developed in 1910, offers a gym, a doorman and an attended lobby, among other amenities.
