Andy Cohen is selling his bespoke downtown Manhattan duplex for $14 million.
The “Watch What Happens Live,” host, 56, is trading in the 3,500-square-foot West Village home for a penthouse in the same buzzy neighborhood, the New York Times reported on Wednesday.
“The first time I ever walked into Andy’s apartment, I said, ‘Whenever you are willing to part with this, even if I have to pull it from your grip, please let me know. Because it’s a one of one,’” the listing agent, Ryan Serhant, told the newspaper.

The Bravo executive purchased a $1.4 million unit on the lower level in 2003, and after getting to know his neighbors in the pre-war building, he eventually snatched up four other units and worked with architect Gordon Kahn to merge them into one expansive home.
