Jennifer Hudson's New York apartment has just been listed for $6,995,000. The Dreamgirls star and Oscar-winner lived in the Apthorp building from 2015 to 2016.
The iconic building was built by William Waldorf Astor in 1908, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It's known for its Italian Renaissance Revival architecture and boasts a full concierge service.
The 3,100 square-foot home has four bedrooms and three bathrooms, hand-crafted ceiling murals and a hand-cut marble mosaic entry gallery. It's the epitome of pre-war sophistication and boasts a south-facing living room with a beautiful fireplace and, opposite, a north-facing formal dining room also with a fireplace, both enhanced by ornate moldings and lavish chandeliers.
