In early August,Anderson Cooperput his late motherGloria Vanderbilt’s New York City apartment on the market. Now, just a month later, the unique property has found a buyer.
Though the final sale price is still unclear, the 18-time Emmy Award winner, 54, originally listed the three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom in the Midtown East neighborhood of Manhattan for $1.125 million. Ileen G. Schoenfeld and Aracely Moran of Brown Harris Stevensheld the listing.
The apartment features eccentric details like a vibrantly painted hallway, pink lacquered windows and a dining room with mirrored walls.

In the listing photographs and video, Vanderbilt’s unit looks largely like it did when she was alive and remains filled with the treasures she collected over the years.
The pre-war high rise was built in 1931, and comes with a doorman and a fitness center. The apartment also features a view of the East River, which is a short walk from the building.
Vanderbilt gaveNew York Magazinea tour of her abode in 2018,revealing the inspirations behind her home’s aesthetic.
“What is beautiful to me may not be beautiful to someone else, or what someone else does may not be what I like,” she said at the time. “But I always know one thing leads to another and I know the direction I’m going.”
The heiress lived in the apartment for nearly 25 years, until herdeath at age 95 in June 2019, after she was diagnosed with a “very advanced cancer in her stomach” earlier that month.
Cooper told PEOPLE last June that the idea of his mother’s deathgave him the final push he needed to become a fatherto 16-month-old sonWyatt Morgan.
“It was a very lonely feeling that I hadn’t really anticipated,” he said at the time. “It made me think, ‘Well, all right, this is definitely meant to be.'”

“She was thrilled,” Cooper said of telling his mother the news. “I told her maybe two weeks before she died. When she started to get ill, it was very quick. [Wyatt] was just an idea in my head and a desire — but I thought, ‘This is the time to tell her.'”
