A reality TV-famous “Malibu Beach house in the middle of Manhattan” has found a buyer, Gimme Shelter has learned. This luxurious penthouse duplex was built by an award-winning architect

above the landmarked Cast Iron House in Tribeca — and it was itself cast to play a starring role in the first season of Netflix’s “Owning Manhattan.”  The stunning, 3,809-square-foot

residence at 67 Franklin St. (aka, 359 Broadway) was last asking $12 million. MORE FROM JENNIFER GOULD It was designed by Pritzker Prize-winning Japanese architect Shigeru Ban, who

transformed the 19th-century building into residences in 2019. The modern home features 20-foot ceilings and a wraparound 1,510-square-foot terrace. Jordan Hurt, the stylishly tattooed

broker at Serhant who shares the listing with Ryan Serhant and Krista Nickols, this week is filming season 2 of “Owning Manhattan” in Miami — meaning more glam homes like this one will grace

television screens before long. While the final sale price is unknown, sources told Gimme that it’s an all-cash deal that fell slightly short of the home’s $12 million asking price. It

first listed for $12.95 million in 2021.  The four-bedroom, 3½-bathroom penthouse opens from a key-locked elevator into a grand entry hall. From there, it leads to an open living and dining

space. There’s also an open chef’s kitchen with a breakfast bar. The grand dwelling boasts 20-foot ceilings and radiant-heat limestone floors. Sliding glass doors/walls — as seen in the

series, which debuted last summer — open to a 1,510-square-foot terrace with city views. Design details include white oak floors, high ceilings and a home office or den that can also

function as a fifth bedroom.  The main bedroom suite is on the upper level with sliding glass windows, a windowed walk-in closet and an ensuite spa-like bath with radiant-heated marble

floors.  The Cast Iron House was built in 1881 by James White. Amenities in the six-story building, with its neoclassical facade, include a gym, a dance/yoga studio, a children’s playroom,

bike storage and a courtyard.  The listing brokers were Hurt, Serhant and Nickols, who brought the buyer.
