Exclusive | Macaulay Culkin has sold the NYC loft he bought as a teenager for $7.75M

Macaulay Culkin was famously lost in New York — and now he’s just sold a home in New York.The former child star has officially parted ways with his longtime Manhattan loft, selling the Noho property he bought as a teenager for $7.75 million, according to records filed with the city register on Tuesday.The deal appears to have taken place off-market, meaning details of the home — which Culkin purchased at the age of 19 — are scant.A message to the brokerage that appears to have handled the hush-hush deal was not returned.Culkin, now 44, purchased the condo at 704 Broadway in 1999 for $1.75 million.
