Heath Ledger’s last known residence is officially for rent.
The loft apartment in SoHo where the “Dark Knight” co-star died in January – and where Mary-Kate Olsen’s bodyguards curiously arrived before the medics – has been spiffed up and listed for $26,000 a month.
In February, we reported the place was being quietly shopped around – for more than the $22,000 that Ledger paid – just a few weeks after his demise.
“You don’t wait around in a hot rental market like this,” said one broker at the time. “As ghoulish as it sounds, people will rent that place in a heartbeat.”
Or, perhaps not.
Ledger began renting the fourth-floor unit at 419-421 Broome St. last September after finishing his Joker role. It includes three bedrooms, 2½ bathrooms, an office, a laundry room, a gourmet kitchen and an 80-square-foot balcony. Also featured are 15-foot tin ceilings, exposed brick walls and a wood-burning fireplace.
