Nicole Palermo Worked With Ryan Serhant on a Townhouse Lady Gaga Previously Rented
Palermo was featured on the season premiere of Million Dollar Listing New York as she and Serhant worked to sell a townhouse in Manhattan’s Chelsea neighborhood.

The townhouse has five stories plus a basement. According to Serhant and Palermo’s listing on NestSeekers, the home has 11,000 square feet of renovated interior space. It has five bedrooms and 12 bathrooms. The basement includes a resistance pool, a sauna and a wine cellar that can hold nearly 500 bottles. The home is also decked out with a movie theater, private garage, heated marble floors, a library, yoga studio and a glass elevator that travels from the basement to the roof deck. the landscaped roof deck is about 2,000 square feet and has a hot tub.
The ground level was built as a commercial space. The owner could, theoretically, use the first floor as a retail store or gallery if they wished. Palermo and Serhant decided to focus on this unique feature for their first open house and highlight the flexibility the townhouse provided.
Palermo shared pictures of the massive townhouse on her Instagram account in October 2019, which you can see here. She and Serhant listed the property for $17.99 million. Palermo celebrated on Instagram in July 2020 when they successfully sold the townhouse. According to StreetEasy, the final price was $14.99 million, about $3 million less than Serhant and Palermo’s original listing price.
