Little Steven Van Zandt Puts Manhattan Penthouse on Market for $15 Million

Little Steven Van Zandt, guitarist for Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band and actor who portrayed Silvio Dante on *The Sopranos*, has listed his Manhattan duplex for $15 million. The property is a three-bedroom, three-bath unit situated in a renovated 19th-century Romanesque Revival church in Greenwich Village. The listing cites an approximate price of $4,200 per square foot.

Van Zandt purchased the penthouse in 2008 for $6 million, a year after *The Sopranos* concluded its television run. The building, originally constructed as a Romanesque Revival church, was converted into a residential duplex while retaining key ecclesiastical elements such as 20-foot ceilings, stained-glass windows, and an elevated patio. Van Zandt’s interior design incorporates tiger-print and rainbow-print fabrics, head-shop-style blankets, and psychedelic stained-glass motifs, alongside a French-language poster for *La Dolce Vita*. The décor has been described as reminiscent of the VIP area at a Hard Rock Café, reflecting Van Zandt’s flamboyant aesthetic.

The listing markets the residence as an unapologetically bold duplex penthouse set within a converted Romanesque Revival church. It emphasizes the dramatic architectural framework, commanding presence, and the rarity of inhabiting a space where structure and historical context elevate rather than define, describing it as a distinctive residential conversion in downtown Manhattan.

The article notes that the interior is “decorated…like the VIP area at a Hard Rock Café” and adds that “it’s a look only Little Steven can make work, but you can’t.” This commentary suggests that the eclectic décor may not suit all buyers.

The piece mentions that “Bruce Springsteen almost certainly used one of the bathrooms,” a claim presented without corroborating evidence. No source confirms this anecdote, leaving the detail unverified.
