Pink Acquires Historic Townhouse in Greenwich Village for $21.5 Million

Pop star Pink, whose real name is Alecia Beth Moore, has purchased a five-bedroom townhouse in Manhattan’s Greenwich Village for $21.5 million. The property, which spans approximately 7,900 square feet, is a Greek Revival-style home built in 1849. This acquisition aligns with Pink's family-oriented move to New York City, allowing her 14-year-old daughter, Willow, to pursue her aspirations in Broadway.

The townhouse has a rich artistic history, having been owned by the Fonseca family since the late 1950s. The family includes notable artists such as sculptor Gonzalo Fonseca and painter Elizabeth Kaplan Fonseca, as well as their children, who are accomplished in various creative fields. The home was also previously inhabited by sculptor Daniel Chester French, renowned for designing the Abraham Lincoln statue at the Lincoln Memorial. This artistic legacy likely influenced Pink's decision to purchase the property, which is described as a "creative haven."
