Trevor Noah, who recently revealed intentions to step down as the host of Comedy Central’s late-night political satire program “The Daily Show,” is bidding farewell to his Manhattan apartment. The penthouse, situated in the Manhattan area, is now on the market for $12.95 million, as disclosed by listing agent Nick Gavin of Compass.

In 2017, Mr. Noah acquired the three-bedroom duplex apartment at Stella Tower, a condo conversion of a prewar, Art Deco building designed in the 1920s by architect Ralph Walker, for $10 million. Conveniently located just a roughly 5-minute walk from the studio where “The Daily Show” is recorded, the apartment underwent a substantial transformation over several years under the comedian’s direction.Mr. Noah meticulously revamped the approximately 3,600-square-foot unit, gutting and reconfiguring the layout. The upper-floor primary bedroom suite, previously featuring a large terrace, was converted into the main living area to provide guests with outdoor access. The lower-floor living room area was transformed into the bedroom floor.The main entry gallery boasts a floating staircase leading to the upper-floor living spaces, which boast 15-foot ceilings, floor-to-ceiling casement windows, French Oak flooring, and cast-metal archways. According to Mr. Gavin, the living areas include a spacious living room and a dining area for up to 12 people. A pair of double French doors open onto a landscaped, roughly 1,000-square-foot terrace, equipped with a custom teak pergola, a plunge-pool area with built-in speakers, heaters, and a black granite wet bar.The apartment showcases walls with different textures and upholsteries, such as suede leather and hand plastering. In the primary bedroom, a hand-rubbed cortina leather wall, dual dressing rooms, and an en suite bathroom with views over the city and the Hudson River, a steam shower, and limestone floors can be found. The lower floor encompasses three bedrooms, one of which is currently configured as a home theater, according to Mr. Gavin.Mr. Noah commenced hosting “The Daily Show” in 2015. A South African native and the author of “Born a Crime: Stories from a South African Childhood,” he announced his departure in September, stating to his studio audience, “My time is up… There’s another part of my life that I want to carry on exploring. I miss learning other languages. I miss going to other countries and putting on shows.” (Source: The Wall Street Journal)
