Sonja Morgan Lists Her NYC Townhouse For $8.75 Million

Sonja Morgan is bringing in the big guns this time around when it comes to selling her mansion.

For the past 10 years on and off the market with several real estate agents, the “Real Housewives of New York” star has decided to re-list her Upper East Side pad — for $8.75 million — just this time with someone. which specializes in townhouses in particular.

After being out of business for a year, The Post first reported that 35-year-old real estate veteran Thomas Wexler at the real estate agency, Leslie J. Garfield & Co., now owns the list.

“When Sonja Morgan (and her husband) bought the house, we were representing the sellers at the time,” Wexler told The Post. “We’ve sold this house three times before, a long time ago, including the time we sold it to Sonja.”

“She now has the best mansion real estate agent you can find anywhere,” Wexler said with a laugh. “I think this is a good time to bring it to market. The house is well priced and it should sell.”

Morgan remodeled the house during the pandemic.

The mansion occupies 4,650 square meters and consists of five floors.

On the fourth floor is another bedroom with a walk-in closet and a spacious terrace. The top floor contains two more bedrooms and the wet bar. It also includes the washer/dryer.

Sonja first put the house up for sale in 2013 for $9.95 million amid her divorce from JP Morgan heir John A. Morgan.

Morgan, 58, found a buyer in 2017, but decided to turn down the offer because she felt her daughter, Quincy, needed stability while her parents separated.

The reality star and entrepreneur was allowed to keep the mansion in 2015 after she settled her five-year bankruptcy case following her divorce.

But now she hopes this is the last time she has to put the house on the market.

“Right now, this house is nothing more than a financial drain, an emotional drain,” she explained in season 12 of “Real Housewives of New York.”
