On the red velvet sofa, near a mandolin perched on a grand piano, Uma Thurman’s Cartier watch rests on a table.

That includes some wild parties and interesting guests.

“I like being able to shout at people on the street, and being so close to the trees and feeling the rumble of the subway.

“I love being near the street,” Sting says. The duplex features haunting, vaguely comical cow paintings by the couple’s 22-year-old daughter, Mickey Sumner a grand, winding stairway French doors two large country kitchens an erotic red bedroom and bookcases filled with eclectic material, from a Rolling Stone magazine photo collection to Michael Lerner and Cornel West’s “Jews & Blacks.”Īlong with everything inside his apartment, Sting also enjoys being in the heart of New York City. “We’ve put our own stamp on this 1920s building,” says Styler, chic and stunning in jeans, a slim black top and a gold-link chain necklace. Styler describes their duplex as “classic Beaux Arts,” which is a bit different from the new-construction space she will turn into a home at 15 CPW. “I’ve had a lot of inspiration here,” he adds, referring to the home where he and Styler raised their four children, in a building where Robert De Niro just bought an upstairs duplex for more than $20 million.įor Styler – an award-winning film producer whose current art-house hit, “A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints,” is playing at the Angelika Film Center – and Sting (whose latest CD is “Songs from the Labyrinth,” a compilation of 16th-century lute and archlute ballads that has already topped the classical charts), moving will be a brand-new day in more than one way. Sting, it seems, is still quite attached to the five-bedroom apartment, which is also on Central Park West.Īlthough the place is on the market for $24 million, “I’m not sure I’m ready to sell,” says Sting from a second-story sitting room, as he looks out at the red-, bronze- and yellow-tinged park on a recent rainy day. Should they stay or should they go? New York City glamour couple Sting and Trudie Styler might have bought a $30 million dream pad in the sky at 15 Central Park West, but that doesn’t mean they’re eager to unload the dazzling duplex that’s been their home for 20 years.
