The brokers told the Observer in an e-mail today that the buyer “studiously covered every inch and amenity in the apartment,” and that the “light, views and outdoor space were the culminating factors” in the buyer’s decision.

Barely used, apparently. Town Residential

Indeed, the three-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment at 180 West Houston is quite large, with details like floor-to-ceiling glass doors that lead out to one of two terraces. And, of course, there’s the kitchen, with Gaggenau, Miele, Leibherr and SubZero appliances. “It is spectacular—it’s gorgeous and brand new. It’s basically never been cooked in,” Gilmore told the Observer in November, of the professional chef’s kitchen.

Back then, we wondered how Marchetto could possibly find another apartment with such an ideal location to his restaurant—it’s just one block away from Da Silvano. We suppose, sadly, that won’t be an issue anymore.

“Our clients created a great space for cooking and entertaining but now it’s time for a new chapter in their lives,” Singer and Gilmore said. “Sounds like travel is next on the agenda.”
