Keanu Reeves' Sojourn in the City: From Linda Evangelista's Loft to the Hollywood Hills
Keanu Reeves, the beloved actor known for his roles in 'The Matrix' and 'John Wick', had a temporary home in the heart of New York City while performing in Samuel Beckett's 'Waiting for Godot'. During his stay, he resided in a chic Chelsea penthouse owned by supermodel Linda Evangelista, currently on the market for a staggering $7.99 million. This penthouse, located at 522 W. 22nd St., offers a spacious 4,022 square feet with an open layout, polished concrete floors, and high ceilings. It boasts four bedrooms, two baths, and a chef's kitchen with exposed brick. The main bedroom suite provides breathtaking High Line views, a spa-like bathroom, and a dressing room with custom closets.
Reeves' stay in New York was a well-kept secret, even as his girlfriend, Alexandra Grant, shared photos of their adventures in the city, including a romantic date night at Rockefeller Center. However, the actor's preference for a more secluded lifestyle is evident in his ownership of a cliffside home in the Hollywood Hills, purchased for around $5 million in 2003. This home, located in the trendy 'Bird Streets' neighborhood, offers a peaceful retreat from the bustling city.
Evangelista, a private individual, has been a significant figure in the real estate market. She purchased the penthouse for $1.4 million in 2001 and listed it for $8.19 million in April. The property is now back on the market, reflecting the ever-changing dynamics of the real estate industry and the allure of urban living.
