The historic New York City townhouse that was once home to jazz legend Billie Holiday hit the market Wednesday for $13.995 million.

During the star’s tenure, which lasted until her death in 1959, Holiday was a resident of apartment 1B at the West 87th Street property, which is now laid out as a seven-bedroom single-family townhouse.
