(코리아타운 뉴스) Hye-Kyo Song’s NYC Condo On Sale

Available for $1.8 million in Manhattan

South Korean actress Hye-kyo Song has put her New York City condominium on sale after purchasing the property in 2008 under her own name.

Song put her property, located in Hell’s Kitchen between Eighth and Ninth Avenues (322 West 57th Street, 33P2), for $1.9 million in March. Since then, the price has been lowered by 6 percent to $1.8 million as of July 26.

A part of the upscale residential complex The Sheffield, Song’s condominium unit is 1,112 square feet. It has spacious living room and kitchen with one and a half restrooms and a bedroom. It is within a few minutes away from Central Park, Carnegie Hall, Columbus Circle and Fifth Avenue.

During her time there, Song was neighbors with some of the wealthiest South Koreans business owners, including Doosan Group chairman Yong-man Park, Aekyung Group chairwoman Young-shin Chang and Nongshim vice chairman Dong-won Shin.

Song initially purchased the condo in 2008 for $1.7 million without mortgaging it. Her all cash purchase of the property garnered significant attention at the time. She was once beleaguered for failing to pay $7935.74 in maintenance fees in March 2014, but the payments were made in full by September in the same year.

The condo has been put on sale since April last year, but has yet to find a new owner. Its listing price was once as high as $2.2 million, but has now dropped by 14.7 percent in just a year.
