Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost Buy $13 Million New York Penthouse
Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost have scored a major real estate win, snapping up a beautiful Carnegie Hill penthouse in Manhattan for $13 million, less than half of its original asking price.
The Avengers actress and SNL cast member purchased the triplex residence in a Rosario Candela-designed building on Park Avenue, bringing their family to one of the Upper East Side’s most exclusive co-ops, just a short ride from Jost’s weekly work at 30 Rockefeller Plaza.
The 6,000-square-foot home spans three floors and was meticulously renovated over two years with top-tier materials and finishes.

A Family Home at Last
Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost’s move to Carnegie Hill marks a thoughtful and strategic shift in their lifestyle, one centered around building a lasting home for their growing family.
After selling their individual New York properties in 2022, including Johansson’s Sutton Place two-bedroom, purchased in 2008 for $2.1 million, and Jost’s Manhattan apartment, the couple began their search for something more permanent.
Josh Flagg’s Estate Media, the star behind Bravo’s hit series Million Dollar Listing: Los Angeles, does a rundown of the prewar penthouse in Carnegie Hill that the couple found for their family.

There’s even more to this penthouse that makes it easy to see why the star couple fell in love with it. For a closer look at the full space, check out the video tour shared by listing agent Lauren Muss on YouTube.
Inside, the home showcases the classic charm of New York and Park Avenue interiors, and by the end of the video, the sweeping views of the NYC skyline steal the show.
Personally, I could not get over the stunning views from the private terrace. But, we get it, if YouTube isn’t your thing, you can also take a look at all the listing photos on Zillow.
The Future on Park Avenue
For Johansson and Jost, this purchase represents the building of their family roots. In a city where luxury often trends toward the short-term, their decision to settle in a Candela-designed Park Avenue residence evokes a deeper appreciation for permanence and legacy.
That the home was acquired for less than half its original asking price only underscores the couple’s strategic sensibility.
In an era where celebrity real estate often courts spectacle, Johansson and Jost’s new address favors discretion, craftsmanship, and long-term vision as they continue to focus on their future together.
That is not Josh Flagg narrating the first video.
The natural light is exquisite!
