McGrath, a 30-year MTV vet who began as a writer, was known as the network’s “moral compass” with a rock ‘n’ roll soul. Her Upper West Side brownstone is now on the market for $7.99 million.

The recently remodeled, turn-of-the-century townhouse, on West 89th Street, features an open stairwell and four-story atrium — along with a skylight in the center of the home.

There’s also a landscaped garden and terrace — just off Central Park West. At 5,930 square feet, the four-story, 19-foot-wide home features four bedrooms, three bathrooms and two powder rooms.

There’s also a separate one-bedroom, 1½-bath garden apartment that can be reincorporated into the rest of the home, or serve as an in-law/staff suite or rental unit.

The parlor floor showcases a two-story, wood-paneled curved wall, a living room with a game area that holds a grand piano, full-size pool table and seating area with a woodburning fireplace, along with a windowed powder room and wet bar.
