Gisele Catwalks Out of New York

Is Gisele Bundchen leaving the Big Apple behind? Just days after the December 8th birth of her son, the Brazilian supermodel sold her West Village prewar townhouse on 42 Barrow Street for $13 million. It had been on the market since September for $13.95 million. Not too shabby.

Bundchen purchased the 5,000 sq ft, 4 bedroom, 6 bath lair --

which boasts amenities such as built-ins and exposed brick, wood-beamed ceilings, seven wood-burning fireplaces and an elevator -- in 2005 for $5.8 million. The new owner, an out-of-state financier, who is expected to use the home as a pied-a-terre, will also probably appreciate the home gym in the cellar.

The sale follows a less successful deal for the supermodel's triplex penthouse at 347 West 11th Street, which she unloaded last month for $4.4 million. Two years ago, the 1,700-square-foot apartment (which featured 2,500 square feet of terrace with an ample hot tub) was listed for $10.9 million. But, hey, the profit on the Barrow Street property will more than make up for the loss.
