Jason Carroll's $1.75 Million Pad

Former Ahead of the Curve co-anchor, Carroll, was splashed on the news after putting his Chelsea home for sale in March of 2018. His decision to put off his long-time beloved home for sale sparked speculations that he awaited significant changes in his life such as changing his career destiny or moving to his possible partner's place.    

The CNN reporter listed his stylish, sparkly, chic one-bedroom home in the rakishly-named Lion’s Head condominium, which is located at 121 West 19th street in Chelsea for sale for the price of $1.75 million. He had previously bought the property for $785k back in 2006. So, he’s looking to make a nice $1 million profit.

The apartment is a south-facing one-bedroom that starts with an entry foyer and a big closet for stashing winter gear.

The space has lots of windows so natural light is not an issue. Dining and entertainment can be accommodated in the gourmet kitchen itself. The kitchen consists of granite counters, Poggenpohl cabinets, Viking professional-grade appliances, and a wine fridge.

Also, there’s plenty of wall space for outsized art pieces, which is a good thing given the art-friendly neighborhood.

Moreover, the apartment’s spacious bath has double basin sinks, a full-sized soaking tub, and a separate marble shower.

With such a luxury "bachelor" pad up for sale, speculations have only increased.
