The late designer and her widower Andy Spade bought the 3,000 square-foot, third-floor pad in 1999 for $2.675 million — the same year they sold their controlling stake in the “Kate Spade” brand to Neiman Marcus.
The prewar apartment overlooks Park Avenue at 77th street and is outfitted with a wood-burning fireplace and corner library. The interior is said to match Spade’s whimsical sense of style.
Spade was 55 when she committed suicide inside the apartment on June 5 2018 — leaving behind a note for her then-13-year-old daughter Frances Beatrix Spade.
Top agents said the apartment’s tragic history may make it hard to unload.

“Sadly, the reality of life is that it is very challenging to sell a home where the owner passed in the home, particularly if it is in such a sad and gruesome situation such as suicide,” said broker Dolly Lenz.
Listing agent Randall Gianopulos of Sotheby’s International Realty didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
