You can’t turn back time, but you can tour Cher’s former penthouse.
Believe it: The iconic pop singer once lived in this spread at Noho’s Silk Building, which is about to hit the market for $7.55 million.
The seller is socialite Byrna Butler, whose 2018 Palm Beach fairytale wedding to financier Marc Noyer-Maingard was chronicled in Quest magazine.
CherMike Marsland/WireImageThe building, at 14 E. Fourth St., was the home of the original Tower Records store on the ground floor.
Cher was the unit’s first owner.
She bought it in the 1980s for an unknown price, and the now-late Robin Leach featured it on an episode of “Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous.”
Cher turned an old greenhouse space into a gym with an outdoor shower.
In 1990, she sold it to Russell Simmons for $1.6 million; according to a Guardian profile at the time, he didn’t change a thing — including fake leopard-skin upholstery.
Simmons, in turn, sold it for $1.52 million in 1996.
Butler bought the apartment for $4.69 million in 2010 and gut renovated it. It now features wide-plank, white-oak floors, custom lacquer kitchen cabinets and new cement tiles for the 900-square-foot terrace.
Oh, and Butler did manage to turn back time, sort of. She resurrected the greenhouse.
The listing broker is Corcoran’s Eva Marie Bozsik.
