Craigslist Founder Buys $6 Million New York Townhouse

The Real Deal: We’re betting that Craigslist founder Craig Newmark didn’t find the lovely Greenwich Village co-op that he just purchased for $5.9 million on his namesake website. Newmark and his wife Eileen closed on the duplex — located on the first two floors of a four-story, 19th century townhouse at 52 West 9th Street – early this month. The three-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom home comes with 11-foot ceilings on both floors, a wood-burning fireplace, a landscaped garden and a basement featuring a temperature-controlled wine room.
