Bill Cosby has been looking to offload his longtime New York City townhouse since early 2025, and he’s slashed the price once again.
The six-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom dwelling now boasts an asking price of $4,999,000, with the listing touting it as a “rare Treadwell Farm townhouse opportunity under $5 million.”
The disgraced star first listed the home in April 2025, shortly after news broke that he was facing foreclosure on this property and a much pricier Manhattan townhome he owned at the time.
The more expensive abode was sold for $28 million, while this particular home had a complicated journey.
In July 2025, the asking price was dropped to $6.75 million. Then in December, the listing was removed.
At the time, listing agent Adam Schneider of Corcoran Westside Columbus told Realtor.com® that Cosby and his wife, Camille, chose to delist the home to carry out a series of updates after they resolved the financial issues clouding the property.
“All issues with the lender have been resolved,” Schneider said in a December 2025 email. “The property is now being renovated and we plan to list it in the New Year.”
The home returned to the market in January 2026 for $6.75 million. At the end of April, the price dipped to $5.99 million.
The townhouse would go on to be listed and removed twice more in 2026—reappearing in August at the same $5.99 million asking, and again in September at a reduced $5.49 million.
The listing directly speaks to the price reduction: “At this reduced price point, the opportunity is clear: there is very little in the 20-foot Upper East Side townhouse market that is this substantial, this flexible, and this well-positioned.”
While the listing does not explicitly mention the aforementioned renovation, it does suggest there is still room for change.
“The next owner can preserve what works, improve what matters, and invest directly into a home that reflects their own taste, lifestyle, and long-term vision,” it reads.
Spanning 5,000 square feet across a basement and four levels, the property has an open floor plan and includes elevator access and private outdoor space.
“Its flexible floor plan allows for bedroom and bathroom realignment, giving the next owner the option to refresh for the 2020s, personalize, or more fully reimagine the home over time,” the listing reads.
The home has a handful of original features, including the red oak banisters, exposed brick, and mahogany and mosaic hardwood flooring.
Crown moldings, high ceilings, and period fireplaces also add character throughout.
A large eat-in kitchen anchors the garden level, and it has been equipped with stainless-steel appliances, including a restaurant-grade Montague Grizzly stove.
A formal dining room includes a wood-burning fireplace, as well as French doors that lead to an enclosed sunroom and a landscaped backyard.
Two generously sized living rooms round out the second level, while the third foor has two large bedrooms and a shared sitting or dressing area.
The primary suite is located on the fourth level and includes a fireplace and two additional spaces that could be used as bedrooms, offices, or other purposes.
The basement includes laundry facilities and storage space, while the rooftop has “meaningful potential for future customization and expansion.”
Previous reports indicated that the property had primarily been used by Cosby’s son, Ennis, who was murdered in Los Angeles in 1997. It is not clear whether the actor continued to use it regularly, as it is understood that Cosby and his wife—who remained by his side throughout his sexual assault scandal—have been living primarily at their home in a suburb of Philadelphia.
The couple purchased the townhouse in 1980 for $1.19 million.
