RHONY Star Sonja Morgan Finally Sells Her NYC Townhouse at Auction for Half Its Original Price After Over a Decade on the Market

   

Sonja Morgan has finally sold her lavish New York City townhouse for $4.45 million during an online auction which officially came to an end on Wednesday, per the New York Post.

Last month in April, it was revealed that the RHONY alum, 60, would be auctioning off the 5,500 square foot home - with the residence being on and off the market for over a decade.

The TV personality first listed the Upper East Side property in 2013 for $9.95 million amid her divorce from John Adams Morgan.

Ahead of the auction, Sonja's townhouse was put on the market once again in 2022 for $8.75 million, but the price was cut last year to $7.5 million.

The five-story abode was notably featured on the hit Bravo series when Morgan starred on the show for 11 years from 2010 through 2021.

The media personality initially purchased the NYC home in 1998 during her marriage to John Adams Morgan. 

The former couple tied the knot that same year until their divorce was finalized in 2006. 

Following the separation, Sonja - who shares daughter Quincy with the businessman - filed for bankruptcy in 2010 due to being $19.8 million in debt at the time. 

The auction for the infamous home kicked off earlier this month on May 15, and bids were expected between $1.75 million and $3.75 million, with no minimum. 

And bidding on the five bed, six bathroom townhome was slated to come to a close on May 29 by Concierge Auctions and luxury broker Adam Modlin, the New York Post reported last month. 

The home was also featured on the RHONY series, as the divorcee struggled with the maintenance of the home, at time seeking renters.

In 2010, Morgan filed for bankruptcy as she was $19.8million in debt, with $13.5million in assets, according to court documents. By 2015, her case was settled and she was allowed to stay at her residence.

In 2022, the property hit the market for $8.75million before it dropped down to $7.5million the following year, as it struggled to sell.
