She doesn’t love what he’s done to the place.
“It’s more masculine looking,” Martha Stewart told New York Magazine of her Upper East Side penthouse that’s now owned by Tom D’Agastino. “I mean, he’s now a bachelor, isn’t he? It’s not my style anymore, I was a little taken aback.”
The home was her first New York City apartment after getting married at age 19 to her first husband, Andrew.
“It was quite extraordinary to be so high, with a wraparound terrace,” she reminisced to the magazine, mentioning that her rent was just $125 a month. “That apartment was very beautiful and light-filled and airy — and all white.”
However, the ex-husband of “Real Housewives of New York City” star Luann de Lesseps had his way with it years later.
“I bought the apartment in 2011 and did a full gut renovation that took about two years,” D’Agostino said of his bachelor pad. “Raised the ceiling, changed the terrace around, expanded the footprint of the apartment to make the dining room and the kitchen bigger.”
But true to form, the domestic goddess met the reality TV villain with a homemade apple pie and kept her thoughts to herself while chatting with D’Agostino about the penthouse, where de Lesseps lived for a short period of time.
“Martha baked me a beautiful apple pie with apples she had picked from her own farm,” D’Agostino recalled. “She said the apartment was totally different and remarked what a wonderful renovation.”
Stewart didn’t speak as highly of the meeting though.
“He still hasn’t returned my dish,” Stewart quipped.
