Jill Zarin is selling a renovated Upper East Side condominium described as a contemporary three-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath residence with large windows that frame city skyline views.
The living area features a dramatic black accent wall that camouflages the flatscreen television and visually separates the bright living room from a galley kitchen.
The kitchen is fitted with shiny white cabinets, quartz countertops, high-end appliances including a Samsung smart refrigerator, and a separate wine refrigerator.
A dining nook sits beside corner windows with expansive views, and the master bedroom includes built-in electric blackout shades and integrated Sonos surround sound.
Bathrooms are presented with spa-like details, fog-proof mirrors, and toilets that open and close automatically and include heated seats.
The condo is in a 24-hour doorman building that offers an on-site garage, a gym, a children’s playroom and a rooftop terrace.
The listing is handled by Jessica Cohen and Jennifer Vandekieft of Douglas Elliman, with Suzanne Miller of Empire State Properties also listed.
She shared the home with her late husband Bobby, who died in January after a cancer diagnosis, and in a recent interview with Forbes Zarin said she is seeking a change of scenery and more time for tennis.
Television Career And Public Feud
The heart of the internet recounts Zarin’s television origins, noting she and others initially signed on for a show called Manhattan Moms before producers rebranded the program as The Real Housewives of New York City.
The piece describes Zarin as occupying the role of the show’s Connector, someone who helped bring the cast together during the series’ early seasons and who sparked the program’s first major feud with Ramona Singer.
It traces Zarin’s close friendship and subsequent falling out with Bethenny Frankel, reporting that Bethenny said Zarin sought credit while Zarin reacted strongly after Bethenny told her to "get a hobby."
The article says Zarin declined several opportunities to reconcile before the season three reunion, a stance that shifted viewer opinion and contributed to producers overhauling the cast.
The reboot retained Luann de Lesseps, Ramona Singer and Sonja Morgan while removing Zarin and other cast members, a decision Andy Cohen attributed to producers listening to fans.
The piece notes Zarin later appeared at Bravocon and on Watch What Happens Live, and that she has alternated between saying she prefers staying away and expressing interest in returning as a "friend of" the show.
