Trevor Noah is leaving Comedy Central’s The Daily Show – and his New York City apartment – behind. The late-night host has just listed his lavish Manhattan penthouse for sale. The asking price for the 3,600-square-foot pad? A cool $12.995 million.

Noah bought his stunning three-bedroom duplex in 2017. Located in the historic, Art Deco-era New York Telephone Building, the 17th and 18th floor unit has unobstructed views of both the Manhattan skyline and the Hudson River. 

The building – now known as the Stella Tower – was designed in the 1920s by Ralph Thomas Walker. It was converted into condos in 2014. Noah bought the home – which is located just a few blocks from the studio where The Daily Show is taped – for $10 million after previously renting a unit in the building, according to Insider. 

‘The Daily Show’ host’s home features a floating staircase and floor-to-ceiling windows

Photos of the home (via TopTenRealEstateDeals.com) make it clear that Noah’s space doesn’t lack amenities. The unit’s features include a floating staircase, home theater, marble fireplace, French-oak flooring, and a black granite wet bar. The chef’s kitchen comes with top–of-the-line appliances (including two dishwashers) and marble-slab countertops.

One of the unit’s most enviable features is a 1,000-square-foot terrace. The spacious outdoor area includes a heated plunge pool with built-in speakers and has unobstructed southern views. 

The “residence offers a seclusion and grandeur rarely found in Manhattan real estate, and is undoubtedly the premier residence in the building,” notes the listing. 

The building also features a ton of amenities including a resident’s lounge, fitness center, garden, media room, and full-time doorman. 

Nick Gavin from Compass has the listing.

“I loved hosting this show,” he went on to say. “It’s been one of my greatest challenges. It’s been one of my greatest joys … but after seven years, I feel like it’s time .. there’s another part of my life I want to carry on exploring.”
