Ricky Martin has officially sold his Upper East Side apartment — and he got his full asking price.
The Grammy-winning pop star closed on his four-bedroom condo at 170 East End Avenue for $6.45 million, ending an on-and-off sales saga that stretched back several years, the New York Post first reported. The apartment, located between East 87th and 88th streets, last hit the market in September at that price.

The full-floor, seventh-floor residence spans roughly 3,147 square feet and overlooks Carl Schurz Park and the East River. Martin originally purchased the home in 2012 for $5.9 million. It first went up for sale in 2017 with a much higher asking price of $8.4 million, before undergoing multiple price adjustments over the years.As previously reported, the apartment was designed by architect Peter Marino and features a nearly 30-foot-wide living and dining area with 10-foot floor-to-ceiling windows, flooding the space with natural light. A private elevator opens into a foyer, leading to the expansive entertaining space.

A fifth room offers flexibility as a bedroom, office, or media space.
