Genevieve Gorder Lists Her Longtime Manhattan Home

HGTV personality Genevieve Gorder is putting her Manhattan duplex co-op up for sale, with a listing price of $4.3 million. The property is represented by agents Smitha Ramchandani and Christopher Stokes Moseley from Christie’s International Real Estate Group.

This duplex, combining two units, has been featured in Gorder’s 2014 TV series, *Genevieve’s Renovation*. There, she showcased her efforts to merge the spaces into a four-bedroom home, where she lives with her daughter, Bevel.

Built in the 1850s, the 2,500-square-foot residence has undergone multiple renovations. However, Gorder made it a point to maintain some of the house’s historic charm. “I wanted to add something to the wall that reflects the age of the house,” she mentioned in an interview. “I’m a preservationist at heart, but I don’t want to live like a woman from the 1860s.”

This unique property features two terraces at both the front and back, offering outdoor space as well as access to a private park shared among residents.

According to Mansion Global, Gorder acquired one unit in 2004 and the other in 2011. Over the years, she’s made significant changes while keeping some historical elements intact.

Gorder first gained fame in 2000 as one of the original designers on *Trading Spaces*, a TLC show that’s often credited with popularizing design television. After the series wrapped in 2007, she continued to make appearances on HGTV with shows like *Dear Genevieve* and served as a judge on *HGTV Design Star*. Recently, she returned for the 2018 reboot of *Trading Spaces* and starred in *At Home with Genevieve*.

In a February 2018 interview, Gorder discussed the significance of women having their own “girlfriend cabin.” She likened it to a man cave, describing it as “a place to escape and just disconnect.”

She elaborated on the importance of self-care, using the metaphor of putting on an oxygen mask during a flight. “As women, we often prioritize taking care of others, but it’s essential to care for ourselves too,” she stated. “Having a special nook can help you heal and feel better.”

Gorder emphasized that such spaces need not be large but should provide a sanctuary from stress. “It’s crucial to ensure you have everything you need to feel comfortable,” she added. She also mentioned the importance of having favorite snacks or calming drinks close by—simple comforts that contribute to one’s well-being.
