Not enough room for shoes? Sex and the City author Candace Bushnell has listed her New York City apartment for $2.65 million
On the market: She first listed he one-bedroom, one-and-a-half bathroom Greenwich Village home in 2012 for $2.8 million, but then began renting it instead
Bestseller's former abode: Candace (pictured) lived in the co-op with her ex husband, Charles Askegard
Candace has not actually lived in the apartment for several years, according to Variety. In 2012 - after divorcing from her ex-husband, ballet dancer Charles Askegard - she tried to sell the place for $2.8 million but was unsuccessful. Instead, she began renting it for $8,000 a month.
The apartment has hardwood floors, oversized windows, and even a washer and dryer - a true luxury for a Manhattan apartment.
Located in a doorman building that was built in the 1920s on 'a tree-lined street', Candace's old place is in the corner of the building, affording it natural light from two directions.
It has a windowed bathroom, half-bath, and kitchen, central air conditioning, and even a planted roof deck.
Awesome amenities: The apartment features a foyer, high ceilings, a dining room, a washer and dryer, and hardwood floors
Major upgrade: Candace said that the place was a 'wreck' when she first bought it, but with the help of an interior designer, she restored and updated every room
New York state of mind: The apartment building was built in the 1920s and sits on a tree-lined street
When the author, who now lives in Connecticut, first bought the apartment, it didn't actually look quite so impressive. In fact, in a piece for Elle Decor, she described it as a 'wreck'.
'The apartment hadn't been occupied for several years, and the last person who had lived there (or, we guessed, had used it as an office), was a movie star with rather bohemian taste,' she said.
The bathroom was old, the kitchen had no cabinets, and - in a shocking twist that would make Carrie gasp - it had no cabinets.
With the help of her friend Susan Forristal, an interior designer, she managed to transform it into a place that would impress even the millionaire-marrying Charlotte York Goldenblatt.
What a coincidence: Mr. Big himself, Chris Noth (left), lives in the same building that Carrie Bradshaw's creator is selling
More closets, please! Upon moving in, Candace said that she rejiggered the proportions of the entire place
A-list place: The person who owned the apartment before Candace was a 'movie star'
Candace 'rejiggered' the proportions of the apartment, enlarging the bathroom and making over the living room.
While she still lived there, it was decorated with a Louis XVI sofa that she bought off of fellow author Jay McInerney, who wrote Bright Lights, Big City. She added gold-leafed sheaf sconces, a palm-leaf lamp, mirrored side tables from the '20s, and a bar and mini fridge that she hid under a bookshelf.
'[it was] usually stocked with champagne,' she admitted.
