Acclaimed artist Lorna Simpson continues her search for a buyer for her stunning Brooklyn home and studio, which has recently seen a significant price reduction, as reported by Curbed.
Situated at 208 Vanderbilt Avenue in the vibrant Fort Greene neighborhood, this remarkable property was initially listed with Corcoran at $6.5 million in August 2025, according to Artnet News. The spacious 3,300-square-foot townhouse, designed by the renowned architect David Adjaye in 2006, boasts three bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and a lovely backyard.
The property is now available for $5 million, marking a nearly 25% reduction in price. For potential buyers, a $1 million down payment on a thirty-year fixed-rate mortgage at an interest rate of 6.375% would result in monthly payments of just under $26,000, which includes taxes of approximately $1,103.
Simpson, primarily recognized for her photography, recently showcased her paintings in a celebrated exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. The home, originally designed for Simpson and her former husband, artist James Casebere, features a double-height great room with floor-to-ceiling windows that open to a serene garden. Corcoran's listing emphasizes that this property is versatile enough to serve as a live/work space, a private gallery, or a family home, all while being conveniently located near Fort Greene Park, BAM, and Brooklyn's top dining and shopping venues.
Despite the ongoing listing, Adjaye's name is not mentioned in the Corcoran advertisement. The property is noted as "trending" and currently priced attractively for potential buyers.
