It’s been a busy 2020 so far for Real Housewives of New York alum Bethenny Frankel, who’s finally unloaded two properties: her Soho condo and one of herHamptonsretreats.The Post reported last week that Frankel sold her seven-bedroom residence in Bridgehampton for $2.28 million after listing it for $2.99 million.It’s a good thing she made a slight profit there because her Soho condo ended up selling for a significant loss. After almost three years on the market, Frankel sold her two-bedroom apartment at 22 Mercer Street for $3.65 million, the Observer reported last month. That’s a $550,000 loss compared to the $4.2 million shepaidfor the pad in 2014—and more if youfactor inwhat she spent on an extensive renovation.

Formerly known as the Morning Glory House, the half-acre Bridgehampton property was built in 1910 as a single-family home and later renovated by architecture firm BOKA with more modern touches. The 4,239-square-foot home has seven bedrooms, a wraparound veranda, and a bluestone patio and in-ground pool in the backyard. Some of the original details, like the hand-carved staircase, have been preserved. Frankel had purchased the former bed-and-breakfast for $2.03 million in 2017 and always considered it an investment property.

Frankel had been struggling to sell her Soho condo since February 2017, when it was originally listed for $5.25 million. After several price chops, a stint on the rental market, and a deal that fell through in November 2019, Frankel is probably relieved to close this chapter even if it meant accepting a loss. The 2,393-square-foot home features a25-foot-wide living room with 14-foot ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace, and a small balcony. The open kitchen features a suite of top-of-the-line appliances and the master bedroom comes with a custom walk-in closet and marble-clad bathroom.
Frankel has a second apartment in Soho and now lives part-time in Boston with her boyfriend, Paul Bernon.

Bethenny Frankel lists renovated Soho loft for $5.25M
By Annie Doge
If you thought Bethenny Frankel had a scattered personality on "The Real Housewives of New York," just check out her real estate game. After splitting from ex-husband Jason Hoppy, the realitystar bought a $4.2 million Soho loft in April 2015,the same month she picked up a $3 million+ Hamptons compound. She also bought a second Soho loft around that time to serve as an office for her "Skinny Girl" empire. Once the embattled couple (he was recently arrested for allegedly harassing her) finalized their divorce, she sold their former $7 million Tribeca loft this past October in just one day. People now reports that Frankel put the Soho loft at 22 Mercer Street on the market for $5.25 in order to find a larger home for herself and daughter Bryn (and from the sound of it, get away from its divorce-era juju), and she admitted to the mag that, "I have been doing really well in real estate and I’ve got the bug."

Reality Star Bethenny Frankel Revealed as Buyer of $4.2M Soho Loft
By Annie Doge
If you've been following the roller coaster that is reality television star Bethenny Frankel's life, you know that she started out as a single, struggling entrepreneur on "Real Housewives of New York City." She thenlaunched the Skinny Girl margarita, sold the brand to Jim Beam for a reported $120 million, got married and had a daughter,filed fordivorced, and rejoined the Housewives. On the recent season of the show, she considers herself "the richest homeless person in Manhattan," as her ex-husband stayed in their $5 million Tribecaapartment at 195 Hudson Street.We think Frankel's use of the word "homeless" is a little ridiculous considering she was splitting her time between lavish Hamptons rentals and high-end Manhattan hotels, but the Daily News has revealed that the Skinny Girl is actually the owner of apartment 2D at 22 Mercer Street in Soho.A nomadno more, Frankel is waiting to move into the gorgeous loft, which she bought about seven months ago for $4.2 million, until renovations are complete. But judging by the photos of the home, we can't imagine there'd be that much to change.
