Andy Cohen Sells His Colorful West Village Duplex for $12 Million

It’s the end of an era—the era of Andy Cohen residing in his wild two-story West Village, New York City apartment, to be exact, which we featured on the cover our October 2017 issue. Cohen truly embarked on a journey with the space: initially buying the duplex’s ground floor back in 2003 and since then absorbing three adjacent units. The result is something eclectic, light-filled, and now officially sold. Emmy-winning playwright and screenwriter Danny Strong and his partner, actor and producer Caitlin Mehner, closed on Cohen's longtime West Village penthouse duplex for its full $12 million asking price on June 26, 2025, according to the New York Post. The listing—entrusted to real estate broker, TV personality, and Cohen's friend, Ryan Serhant—was initially priced at $14 million when it went public in September 2024, but Cohen cut the price by $2 million earlier this year. He found buyers after eight months on the market.

Included with purchase? A gold-tiled custom bar integrated right into the home’s living room.

As an executive producer of The Real Housewives, late-night talk-show host, radio personality, and father of two, it’s safe to say Cohen is full of energy—creative and otherwise. His 2 Horatio Street abode’s interiors are a testament to just that, what with their no-holds-barred design touches like a Roy Lichtenstein lithograph, jewel-toned kitchen cabinets, powder room hugged by mylar wallpaper, gold disco ball light fixture, and the staircase it hangs above (made of glass, walnut, and steel by architect Gordon Kahn).

Cohen took a no-holds-barred decorating approach with this place, and what better evidence of that than the pictured gold disco ball?

Cohen told ELLE DECOR that he felt like a king inside his home, which presently clocks in at 3,500 square feet. Who wouldn’t? The vistas are ones that make you stop in your tracks and thank your lucky stars (“The light in this apartment is phenomenal,” Cohen said in 2017); the furniture curation, courtesy of ELLE DECOR A-List mainstay Eric Hughes, is replete with buzzy names like Ralph Lauren, ABC Carpet & Home, and Hollywood at Home; and the sheer atmosphere all this creates is instantly conducive to a party.

Indeed, though Cohen barely cooked in his kitchen (which has dual exposure, walnut counters, and the non-tacky kind of floral wallpaper!), he frequently had many of his celebrity BFFs-slash-neighbors over. Anderson Cooper, John Benjamin Hickey, Joe Mantello, Sarah Jessica Parker, and others have all walked across the duplex’s oak floors.

Drawn in by the magnetism of the New York neighborhood and his real-time professional commitments in the Big Apple, Cohen isn’t moving too far—in fact, only a four-minute walk away, according to the New York Times. “This [new residence is] a penthouse that he bought for more than $18 million,” with “3,000 square feet inside and a 2,000-square-foot terrace,” the Times reports.

Strong, whose musical Chess heads to Broadway this fall, called the duplex "my dream home," telling The Post, "We are so excited to be moving there." He and Mehner, new parents to a 7-month-old daughter, had been looking for more space to accommodate their growing family. The deal, which was finalized after the duplex spent about eight months on the market, represents a swift transaction that entered contract just over a month before closing.
