Judge Judy’s Manhattan Duplex Is Listed for $9.5 Million

Judith Sheindlin, better known as TV’s Judge Judy, is putting her Manhattan home, a duplex penthouse with a wraparound terrace and scenic East River views, on the market for the first time in more than a decade.

The asking price for the apartment, at 14 Sutton Place South, in the Sutton Place enclave, is $9.5 million, according to the listing brokers, Tom Postilio and Mickey Conlon, a team at Compass. Monthly maintenance is around $10,130.

“We’ve enjoyed this jewel of an apartment,” Ms. Sheindlin said in an email. “Time to simplify,” she added, with typical directness.

Ms. Sheindlin, a Brooklyn native and former Manhattan Family Court judge, starred as the no-nonsense judge in the long-running “Judge Judy” TV series. She now appears in the “Judy Justice” courtroom show on Amazon Freevee. Her husband, Jerry Sheindlin, a former New York Supreme Court judge, was also a TV personality, starring in “The People’s Court” for a couple of seasons.

The two bought the Sutton Place home in 2013 for use as a pied-à-terre, paying $8.5 million. (Their purchase came just after selling another pied-à-terre at the Sherry-Netherland hotel several blocks away.) They have owned several other homes around the country, in places such as Newport, R.I.; Greenwich, Conn; Naples, Fla.; and Los Angeles.
