Legendary former Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter and his wife, Anna Scott Carter, have bought a Greenwich Village co-op for $3.42 million, according to city records filed Monday.
The home, at 40 Fifth Ave. near West 11th Street, features two bedrooms and two bathrooms, along with original details like a woodburning fireplace and beamed ceilings. There are also oversize windows, built-ins, a kitchen with a breakfast bar and a large home office.
If that unit seems small for such a big personality, it may be the first of two purchases. A second property in the building is also in contract, and sources say that Carter is also the buyer of that unit.
That co-op in contract had been marketed as a four-bedroom duplex — when combined with the unit that the Carters just bought — asking $6.99 million.
Carter will indeed be combining both units into a duplex, sources add. The final sale price for the second apartment hasn’t yet hit public records.
The couple still own a grand townhouse on Bank Street that Carter had originally bought with his first wife for $2 million in 1998.
Listing brokers Clayton Orrigo and Stephen Ferrara, of Compass, declined to comment.
Carter could not be reached by publication time.
