Greta Garbo's eccentric former home hits the market
<p>Hollywood icon Greta Garbo's former New York home has hit the market for an impressive $7.25 million. </p>
<p>The stunning three-bedroom, three-bathroom Manhattan apartment retains many of her personal touches and eccentric furnishings, making it stand out from other luxury homes. </p>
<p>The apartment last sold for $8.5 million in 2017 after a fierce bidding war, with many fans of the Swedish-American actress expected to be vying for the property this time around. </p>
<p>The home boasts large picture windows with spectacular views of the East River, which was said to have reminded Greta of her native Stockholm.</p>
<p>It also includes a newly renovated kitchen, dining room, many living areas, and numerous bathrooms, with most rooms boasting an impressive chandelier. </p>
<p>The living room – which was Greta's favorite space – includes a gas fireplace and an attached den, while French doors at the far end open to a lovely balcony cooled by river breezes.</p>
<p>The primary bedroom suite features Greta's beloved rose-hued Fortuny silk walls and headboard, while a second bedroom includes a pink-and-green-accented V'Soske rug personally designed by the movie star.</p>
<p>Greta, who was best known for her roles in <em>A Woman of Affairs</em>, <em>Anna Christie</em>, <em>Romance</em>, and <em>Camille</em>, died in 1990 at the age of 85, but retired from acting when she was just 35, leading a private life in her New York apartment for 50 years.</p>
