A Lenox Hill co-op that’s set to hit the market for $1.2 million has more than just 14-foot ceilings and two wood-burning fireplaces.

The 1,000-plus-square-foot one-bedroom at 16 E. 63rd St. was once the home of the late Edie Sedgwick, a model and actress who was famously one of Andy Warhol’s superstars.

Sedgwick, who died in 1971 at age 28 of a barbiturate overdose, lived in this unit in the 1960s — and her time there wasn’t exactly drama-free.

In October 1966, a middle-of-the-night fire ripped through this third-floor unit, which left Sedgwick with burns on a leg, an arm and her back. The cause was reportedly a cigarette that fell from her mouth and onto her bed when she was under the influence of mixed drugs. She said the fire had destroyed all of her belongings except a leopard coat that was at the side of her bed.

Of course, the unit has since been restored. The space still features its original moldings. Additional perks include a living room with lots of sunlight, a dressing area and a storage room.

The Beaux-Arts mansion also lays claim to housing another celebrity: the late Zsa Zsa Gabor. This four-story property, built in 1876, was originally a single-family home — and the film star resided there with her mother, Jolie, in prior unspecified years. It was converted into a four-unit building in 1949.
