Philip Seymour Hoffman's $10,500-a-month apartment took just days to find a renter

Mere days after going on the market for $10,500 a month, the apartment in Manhattan's West Village where actor Philip Seymour Hoffman lived and died has been rented out, according to Zillow Blog.

Unit 4D at Pickwick House, 35 Bethune St. in New York City, has two bedrooms and two baths in its 1,100 square feet. The Corcoran listing called it "a rental with character" (in all-caps), with a corner living room with wood-burning fireplace and strip oak floors; "windowed kitchen" with a big marble counter; and two "good-sized" bedrooms with two "oversized" windows each, plus "custom-fitted closets." "Two new spa bathrooms are very high end and tasteful," the listing continued. "The light is superb all around ... and it is all set amongst abundant trees with views of sky."

The listing concluded: "It feels like living in the country, in the most exciting part of the city."

An earlier listing called the apartment "loft-like" and noted that the 21-unit Pickwick House was built in 1880 as a printing plant, then gut-renovated a century later. It said the bathrooms had been renovated with details including glass and jade tiles, Calacatta marble, limestone, and radiant-heated floors. The master bath had a 6-foot soaking tub.

The 10-foot wood-beamed ceilings were original to the historic space, the listing said, describing the corner apartment as "quintessential Village."

Hoffman apparently began renting the apartment in October 2013, according to StreetEasy data reported by Zillow Blog. He was found in one of its bathrooms Feb. 2 and declared dead at the scene. He had overdosed on heroin. ABC News reported that he was found with five empty heroin bags and perhaps 65 more unused bags.
