Cara Delevingne is taking another crack at unloading the famously eccentric Gramercy Park penthouse she bought from Jimmy Fallon — but the apartment appears stuck somewhere between celebrity crash pad and late-night-television time capsule.
The British model and actress has relisted the sprawling Manhattan co-op for $9.45 million, shaving another chunk off the asking price after previously seeking nearly $10 million and, before that, roughly $11 million. Yet despite owning the home since 2022, the place still seems to belong spiritually — and in some cases literally — to Fallon.
Delevingne purchased the dwelling from the late-night host for $10.8 million in an off-market deal — meaning she will be poised to take a significant loss on the sale.
The triplex at 34 Gramercy Park East hosted the annual Power Broker Awards on Wednesday, the glitzy industry gathering presented by the Society Group that’s often nicknamed the “Oscars of Real Estate,” where brokers sweating through designer suits discovered the apartment’s air-conditioning had stopped working during one of the hottest days of the year. (However, it worked on the second level, where the event was held.)
The soirée unintentionally highlighted another reality about the six-bedroom residence. Delevingne may own it, but Fallon never really left.
According to the real estate blog Curbed, Fallon’s fingerprints remain all over the home, from whimsical family-themed wallpaper to a child-sized play nook hidden beneath a staircase.
Even the TiVo reportedly still connects to Fallon’s family account.
“The only signs of Delevingne’s existence were the clothes in the closet and a Playstation 5 in the primary bedroom,” the blog noted.
That lingering aura is perhaps unsurprising given how distinctive the apartment has always been. Fallon spent years assembling the residence by combining multiple units inside the landmarked prewar building overlooking the famously key-locked park. The result is less polished billionaire minimalism and more storybook fever dream.
One room features green plaid walls, antler chandeliers and the atmosphere of an old private club. Elsewhere, orange shag carpeting snakes through the home beneath oversized portraits and quirky memorabilia. A bathroom still displays silhouettes representing Fallon’s family tree. There is even what Curbed described as a “Harry Potter-inspired cupboard” tucked beneath the stairs.
The apartment’s eccentric personality became a major talking point when Fallon originally listed it five years ago. At the time, design lovers praised its unapologetically theatrical aesthetic, while others compared it to a Wes Anderson set filtered through an upscale summer camp.
Delevingne herself previously admitted she embraced the oddness.
“I kept it all. It’s creepy,” she told Fallon during an appearance on “The Tonight Show” after purchasing the property.
The current listing paints the home in more traditional luxury terms. The approximately 4,950-square-foot co-op includes five bathrooms, multiple entertaining levels, a dramatic library, custom millwork, woodburning fireplaces and access to Gramercy Park. The building, dating to the 1880s, remains one of Manhattan’s most recognizable prewar addresses.
Still, it is difficult for prospective buyers to separate the apartment from its celebrity lineage. During the broker awards event, guests wandered through the residence as if touring a strange shrine to Fallon’s domestic imagination.
“All of this was designed by Jimmy’s wife, in conjunction with Jimmy,” Marta Maletz of Compass said during the gathering.
“It’s supercool, I would buy it,” broker Terry Cohen, also of Compass, said.
Corcoran’s Tim Davis reportedly remarked that the apartment felt “like a private club.”
Carl Gambino, of the Gambino Group at Compass, shares the listing with Stefani Berkin of R New York.
