According to the book 'Forever Stardust: David Bowie Across the Universe,' 'Bowie loved living in SoHo/Nolita. He felt at home, semi-anonymous, among New Yorkers too cool to act star-struck at celebrity sightings.'
The property was left to Iman as part of his $100 million estate after the rocker's 2016 passing following a long battle with cancer.
Records show that there was previous sale in January 2016, when Bowie died, but that the property is still currently owned by a trust linked to his estate, as reported by the Wall Street Journal.
