Cosby, 88, initially placed both of his New York townhouses on the market in 2025 after lenders alleged that he and his wife, Camille Cosby, had defaulted on loans secured by the properties.

Cosby purchased the East 61st Street townhouse for $1.2 million in 1980. The Manhattan townhouse, located in Lenox Hill’s Treadwell Farm Historic District, was first listed for $6.99 million in April and reduced to $6.75 million in July. It was taken off the market in December.

Listing agent Adam Schneider of Corcoran Westside Columbus said at the time that the property was delisted so renovations could be completed after issues with the lender were addressed.

“All issues with the lender have been resolved,” Schneider said in a December email. “The property is now being renovated and we plan to list in the New Year.”

The six-bedroom home has now returned to the market with updated interiors and new listing photos. The property spans about 5,000 square feet and includes six bedrooms and six bathrooms. The listing describes it as “brighter and reimagined for the New Year” and highlights its 20-foot-wide footprint.

The townhouse includes preserved historical features such as crown moldings, fireplaces, exposed red-brick walls and oak floors. Modern updates include stainless-steel kitchen appliances and an outdoor entertaining area. The home also features a private backyard with a seating area, fire pit and barbecue, as well as a basement with laundry facilities and storage.

According to the listing, the residence includes an in-house elevator described as one of the earliest residential elevators installed in New York City.

The relisting follows the November sale of Cosby’s larger Manhattan townhouse for $28 million. That property had originally been listed for $29 million. Cosby bought the larger residence in 1990 for $6.3 million.

The sales came after lenders initiated foreclosure proceedings in late 2024.

Citi Mortgage alleged in legal filings that Cosby defaulted on a $4.2 million loan tied to the East 61st Street property, claiming that $3.7 million in principal remained outstanding, along with interest and fees.

Separately, First Foundation Bank filed documents in Manhattan Supreme Court on Dec. 31 alleging that Cosby defaulted on two loans secured by the larger townhouse: a $12.25 million loan issued in 2010 and a $5.25 million loan issued in 2014.

The lender alleged that the Cosbys stopped repayment on June 1, 2024, and were served with a default notice on Nov. 18, 2024. The filing stated that more than $300,000 in property taxes were owed and that the couple had failed to keep up with monthly loan payments. First Foundation sought to force a sale of the property to recover the outstanding debt.

The larger townhouse ultimately sold for $1 million below its asking price. Previous reporting by Finurah detailed the foreclosure filings and the subsequent sale of the property.

The foreclosure actions marked the latest financial and legal challenges for Cosby, who has faced numerous allegations of sexual assault and misconduct. More than 60 women have accused him of sexual assault, rape or sexual harassment.

In 2018, Cosby was convicted of three counts of sexual assault and sentenced to three to 10 years in prison. He served nearly three years before the Pennsylvania Supreme Court overturned the conviction in 2021.

Cosby and his wife are believed to reside primarily at their home in a suburb of Philadelphia, which they purchased in 1983.

    The “disgraced star”! He’s not disgraced, the trampoline gold digging women that took a drug from a stranger, hoping to come up are the disgraced ones.

    Who goes to a man’s place takes drugs (even an asprin) and is shocked when the man acts like a man will? I guess her momma didn’t teacher her anything! Oh yeah, the momma taught her how to be a GOLD DIGGER!
