Alan Cumming Buys; Anonymous Buyer Nabs Heath Ledger Death Pad


It's been a few days since I checked in on celebrity real estate in the city, and now I see Alan Cumming just bought a 400-square-foot studio at 513 E. Fifth Street, a two-minute walk from the Scottish actor's East Village gay bar, Club Cumming. (That's TWO whole square feet smaller than my old place!) He reportedly paid $410,000 for the space with a brand new kitchen, exposed white brick, large windows and a newly renovated bathroom as well. See photos HERE.


Meanwhile, the SoHo loft where Heath Ledger overdosed more than 15 years ago has sold for $14.25 million. The "Brokeback Mountain" star had rented the 4,400-plus-square-foot unit at 419-421 Broome St. for roughly $25,000 a month. Property records show the home sold last month to an anonymous LLC in an off-market deal. On Jan. 22, 2008, the Australian actor was found dead in his bedroom -- his death caused by an accidental overdose of prescription medication. Shortly after his passing, the building, built in 1873, was transformed into a condominium and renovated with two stories added. Go inside HERE.
