While Jennifer Lopez is busy searching for a California abode with Ben Affleck, she is still having trouble unloading her $33.8 million (US$25m) Manhattan penthouse — which has been on the market for nearly four years, The Post reports.

Lopez, 52, first listed the property in October 2017 for US$26.95 million — three years after she initially purchased the duplex penthouse in Flatiron for $20.16 million, property records show.

According to one insider, Lopez listed the home, located near Madison Square Park, after realising it wasn’t the most private of places to live.

“It really isn’t ideal for her there,” the source told The Post.

But in 2019, without any offers, the home took a $1.96 million price cut. Still, however, it wasn’t enough to entice a buyer and the home remains for sale today.

Made up of four bedrooms and 11 bathrooms, the penthouse has been described as “the crown jewel of The Whitman Mansion,” according to the listing.

With over 600 sqm of interior space and 280 sqm of outdoor space, the luxury home features four separate terraces spread out on two levels overlooking Madison Square Park.

A private lift leads to a secure entry foyer that opens to the expansive great room with a skylight and three French doors leading to one of the terraces.

The chef’s kitchen comes with a breakfast bar and dining area complete with a large island, open shelving and custom cabinetry. The same floor holds a private bedroom wing with three bedrooms and ensuite baths, a staffroom with a full bath and a laundry room.

Located on the second level of the penthouse is the primary bedroom with two bathrooms and two outdoor terraces — one near the bathroom and one close to the bedroom.

Features of the duplex include 12-feet-high ceilings, with wide plank rift oak floors, Italian marble bathrooms and a smart home system.

J.Lo’s real estate portfolio also includes a Hamptons property she purchased in 2013 for US$10 million and a $28 million Bel Air estate she bought in 2016.

Before their split earlier this year, Lopez and Alex Rodriguez shelled out $32.5 million for a huge Miami Beach estate.
