The townhouse -- located at 196 East 71st Street -- is currently owned by Peter Bacanovic, a former Merrill Lynch broker who was sentenced to five months in prison for his role in Martha Stewart's insider trading case, according to the New York Times. Bacanovic, who now works as a management consultant, bought the property in 2000 for $1.88 million but said he "wants to make a change."
