The disgraced actor has dropped the price of his Upper East Side townhouse by about $2 million since originally listing in 2025.
Bill Cosby has been looking to offload his longtime New York City townhouse since early 2025, and has slashed the price once again.
The six-bedroom, 4.5 bathroom dwelling now boasts an asking price of $4.999 million, with the listing touting it as a "rare Treadwell Farm townhouse opportunity under $5 million."
The disgraced star first put the home on the market in April 2025, shortly after news had broken revealing he was facing foreclosure on the property, as well as on a much pricier Manhattan townhome he also owned at the time.
Although the more expensive abode sold for $28 million, this particular home has had a more complicated journey.
The asking price took its first hit in July 2025, when it dropped to $6.75 million. In December of that year, the listing was removed.

The four-level home was built in 1905 and spans 5,000 square feet. (Realtor.com) At the time, listing agent Adam Schneider of Corcoran Westside Columbus told Realtor.com® that Cosby and his wife, Camille, chose to delist the home to carry out a series of updates once they'd successfully ironed out the financial issues clouding the property.
"All issues with the lender have been resolved," Schneider said in a December 2025 email. "The property is now being renovated and we plan to list it in the New Year."
The home returned to the market just a few weeks later, asking $6.75 million in January 2026. At the end of April, the price took yet another dip, settling at $5.99 million.
The townhouse would go on to be listed and removed twice more in 2026—popping up again in August at the same $5.99 million asking, and then again at a discount in September for $5.49 million.
The listing directly speaks to the price reduction, noting, "At this reduced price point, the opportunity is clear: there is very little in the 20-foot Upper East Side townhouse market that is this substantial, this flexible, and this well-positioned."

Exposed brick is also seen throughout. (Realtor.com) While the listing does not explicitly mention any of the aforementioned renovations, it does suggest that there is still room for change.
"The next owner can preserve what works, improve what matters, and invest directly into a home that reflects their own taste, lifestyle, and long-term vision," it reads.
Spanning 5,000 square feet across a basement and four levels, the property has an open floor plan and includes elevator access and private outdoor space.
"Its flexible floor plan allows for bedroom and bathroom realignment, giving the next owner the option to refresh for the 2020s, personalize, or more fully reimagine the home over time," the listing reads.
The home has a handful of original features, such as red oak banisters, exposed brick, and mahogany and mosaic hardwood flooring.
The primary suite is on the top floor, which also has flexible rooms that could be used for a variety of functions. (Realtor.com)

The dwelling boasts 4.5 bathrooms. (Realtor.com) Crown moldings, high ceilings, and period fireplaces also add character throughout.
A large eat-in kitchen anchors the garden level, and has been equipped with stainless steel appliances, including a restaurant-grade Montague Grizzly stove.
A formal dining room includes a wood-burning fireplace, as well as French doors that lead way to an enclosed sunroom and a landscaped private backyard.
Two generously-sized living rooms round out the second level, while the third foor has two large bedrooms and a shared sitting or dressing area.
The primary suite is located on the fourth level, and includes a fireplace and two additional spaces that could be used as bedrooms, offices, or for any other flexible purpose.
The basement includes laundry facilities and offers additional storage, while the rooftop has "meaningful potential for future customization and expansion."
Previous reports indicated that the property had primarily been used by Cosby's son, Ennis, who was murdered in Los Angeles in 1997. It is not clear whether the actor continued to use it regularly, as it is understood that Cosby and his wife—who remained by his side throughout his sexual assault scandal—have been living primarily at their home in a suburb of Philadelphia.
The couple purchased the townhouse in 1980 for $1.19 million.
