Grammy-winning songwriter and record producer Philip Lawrence, known for his collaborations with Bruno Mars and other renowned artists, is selling his exquisite Manhattan pied-à-terre for $7.35 million. The current asking price represents a reduction from the original listing of $8.25 million, and it is slightly lower than what Lawrence and his wife, Urbana Chappa Lawrence, paid for the luxurious high-rise apartment four years ago.
Located on the 38th floor of a striking glass tower with an Indiana limestone base, the corner unit spans 3,055 square feet. The residence underwent an extensive renovation by antiques dealer and designer Patrick Dragonette and his husband Charles Tucker, resulting in a beautifully revamped space.
The four-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bathroom residence features custom-made cabinetry, motorized window treatments in every room, and golden wall coverings in the foyer, hallway, and living/dining room, enhancing the abundance of natural light from floor-to-ceiling windows. The high-end kitchen boasts Italian cabinetry with champagne glass panels, slab marble counters, and dark-stained walnut cabinetry.
Each of the four bedrooms offers privacy and comfort, with three of them having their own private bathrooms. The primary suite faces north and includes a spacious bathroom with limestone-clad walls, a radiant heated marble floor, and a generously-sized walk-in closet.
Additional amenities in the condo include a dedicated laundry room, a marble powder room, and a walk-in coat closet near the entrance. High-tech features such as a home automation system, security cameras, and a built-in safe are also included.
The 41-story glass tower is part of the Riverline Center project in the southern end of the Upper West Side. Completed in 2017, the mixed-use complex offers resort-style amenities, including a 75-foot indoor pool, fitness and spa facilities, lounges, on-site parking, and a communal terrace.
While the Lawrences may potentially face a loss on the sale of their Manhattan apartment, they can take comfort in their opulent 13,000-square-foot mansion in Encino, Los Angeles, acquired in 2019 for nearly $10.6 million from retired professional baseball player Jimmy Rollins.
