Groovy, baby. Comedian Mike Myers has finally sold his SoHo penthouse for just under $14 million, as reported by 6sqft.
According to the Wall Street Journal, the “Austin Powers” star bought the 4,200 square-foot Manhattan abode with a private roof deck back in 2007 for $7.9 million, just after it was built. The comedian initially listed the duplex in 2015 for a hefty $16.95 million, the first time this apartment was offered.
The funnyman may have justified the massive price hike after undertaking a renovation of its current sleek and modern interior, including floor-to-ceiling custom bookshelves, a custom sound system, and a landscaped outdoor space that includes a dining area with pergola, trees, and roses.
After the property bounced on and off the market, with a price drop to $15.95 million, the winning number appears to be the current asking price of $13.95 million. The listing is currently in “pending sale” status on realtor.com®. Even with the price drop and renovation bill, Myers still brings the mojo when it comes to real estate.
The buyer must have gone wild for the well-appointed boutique building from 2006, the high-floor views that rise above roof levels on the seventh floor, and loft-style living with 14-foot-high ceilings.

The elevator opens directly into the apartment, with a living room that wows with floor-to-ceiling windows, a fireplace, and an adjoining kitchen with maple and aluminum cabinetry and stone counters. A powder room and an additional bedroom suite that could also be used as an office, plus a balcony, all grace this floor.
Stairs with an overhead skylight lead to a rooftop terrace with multiple seating areas, landscaping, and outdoor dining, along with panoramic views of the city. The lower level houses the master suite, complete with closets and bathroom. Two more bedrooms and a laundry room complete the home. White oak floors run throughout the unit.
SoHo is certainly a draw, known for its cobblestone streets and cast-iron facades. It offers not only the old and historic but the chic and new, with high-end shopping and dining, and markets like Dean & Deluca, along with art galleries. Now, of course, there are also the wealthy celebrities. The lively neighborhood is close to Tribeca and the West Village.
The actor also reportedly engaged in a less-than-successful real estate flip in Tribeca, unloading a never-lived-in condo for $14 million in March 2017 that he had purchased the previous December for $14.675 million, the Real Deal reported.
With real estate transactions out of the way, the Canadian star may now decide to focus on his day job in the movies. He is set to appear in the thriller “Terminal,” and stars in the biopic “Bohemian Rhapsody.” It’s also rumored that there will be an “Austin Powers 4.” Shagadelic!
