The TV host is trading his 3,500-square-foot apartment, painstakingly assembled over nearly 21 years, for a penthouse in the same neighborhood.

Andy Cohen, the TV host, author and longtime producer, spent 21 years building his dream West Village home — a fantastical assemblage of four apartments that he turned into a single 3,500-square foot home where light floods nearly every room.

Mr. Cohen worked with the interior designer Eric Hughes and the architect Gordon Kahn to combine four apartments into a bespoke West Village home. The two floors are connected by a custom glass, walnut, and steel staircase. Eytan Stern Weber, Evan Joseph Images

It’s a showstopper, the kind of eye-watering real estate you’d see on reality TV shows like “The Real Housewives” franchise, which he has produced for more than two decades.

“The first time I ever walked into Andy’s apartment, I said, ‘Whenever you are willing to part with this, even if I have to pull it from your grip, please let me know. Because it’s a one of one,’” said Ryan Serhant, owner of the eponymous luxury brokerage SERHANT and star of “Owning Manhattan” on Netflix.

That time has come.

Mr. Cohen is selling what Mr. Serhant calls the ultimate bespoke apartment, and Mr. Serhant is the listing agent. “It’s one of those treasures that you wait your whole career for to find something like this that you get to bring to market and sell,” Mr. Serhant said.
