Instagram influencers are known for sharing images of their chic homes, decked out in magazine-worthy decor.
Fashion maven Lindsi Lane is no different, giving glimpses and mini-tours of her posh Madison Square Park pad to her 267,000 followers. But now someone else can know what it’s like to live in a photo shoot-ready abode: Lane’s fully customized three-bedroom is available for rent for $25,000 a month.
The sprawling 2,347-square-foot apartment is described as “one of the most unique offerings in the city” thanks to its direct unobstructed views of Madison Square Park and designer details throughout. According to her account, @LindsiLaneStyle, after purchasing the 17th-floor pad in 2017, Lane worked with interior designers Josh Evan and Michael Edward to overhaul the space, filling it with mostly custom pieces.
Take the one-of-a-kind headboard in the master bedroom, upholstered in a fabric that looks like a white-metallic zebra. The dining room is outfitted with a custom-designed table made from grand antique stone from ABC Worldwide Stone, plus chairs and a server with a built-in bar. An oversized white-treated suede couch adorns the living room, topped by custom fabric Chanel-inspired pillows from Dedar Milano.
Lane, who is married to media executive Aaron Watts and is the mom of 1-year-old Tallin, paid $8.3 million, according to city property records. Thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, the young family is spending more time on Long Island, where she grew up, and just closed on a lot of land, where they plan to build a home.
Other highlights of the NYC perch include a futuristic Benjamin Paulin chair, a chandelier from Metropolitan Lighting (famous for creating the lighting for the Metropolitan Opera at Lincoln Center), classic white SieMatic cabinets and Bianco Carrera marble in the kitchen, and funky cherry-themed wallpaper from Flavor Paper that lines a bathroom but is also found in Scores strip club.
“It took [my husband] some convincing, but in the end, we loved the sex appeal and artistic flair,” Lane captioned an Instagram post posing in the lavish lavatory. “The bathroom is small, so it allowed us to step outside the box and add a sexy surprise element when guests use it/walk by.”
But it wouldn’t be an Instagram-worthy apartment without a personalized “cloffice.” Lane transformed one of the three bedrooms into a fashionista’s dream closet-office combo, complete with a floor-to-ceiling shoe wall, open shelving and a Lucite desk with matching chairs.
According to the listing, the designer apartment can come furnished, partially furnished or unfurnished. It also happens to be in the same building as another famous influencer: Arielle Charnas, known for her brand Something Navy, who attracted ire earlier this year for tracking down a COVID-19 test when they were scarce, testing positive and then fleeing to the Hamptons.
While the glam apartment — listed by Compass broker Phillip Salem, who declined to comment — has been a staple on Lane’s feed for several years, she (like so many New Yorkers) moved in with her parents due to the coronavirus. Lane just shared that, over the next couple of years, she and Watts are planning to build their “dream house” on the land they bought.
“For now, I want to keep details private,” she wrote alongside a selfie with her family. “But it looks like I’m going back to my roots with a MAJOR home project ahead of me.”
