- "The Tonight Show" host Jimmy Fallon just listed his New York City home, asking $15 million.
- The penthouse apartment in Gramercy Park is a renovation that combined four units into one.
- Fallon's 4,950-square-foot space features six bedrooms and a playroom with monkey bars.
Jimmy Fallon and his wife Nancy Juvonen put their Gramercy Park apartment on the market for $15 million.
According to The Wall Street Journal's Katherine Clarke, the massive home (which spans three floors) was pieced together from four individual units that Fallon and Juvonen bought over the course of more than 10 years, beginning with the 1-bedroom bachelor pad he picked up for $850,000 in 2002.
Jeremy V. Stein and Debbie Korb of Sotheby's International Realty hold the listing.
The 4,950-square-foot space is filled with antiques and customizations. Their second-floor "Saloon Room" is just one example of the elaborate personalization seen throughout.

They also had a staircase built, which hides the entry into one of two playrooms for their kids, Winnie, 7, and Frances, 6. "I always like a secret bookshelf or a secret room," Fallon told The Wall Street Journal of the unique feature.

According to Sotheby's, which is overseeing the listing, the building was built in 1883 as the city's first co-op and now features white-glove full-service amenities.
The Wall Street Journal reports that the building was also once home to actors Margaret Hamilton, who played the Wicked Witch of the West in "The Wizard of Oz," and James Cagney.

This isn't Fallon's only New York home.
Fallon told The Wall Street Journal that he and his family are selling their longtime Manhattan home because they intend to make their suburban house in the nearby Long Island town of Sagaponack, New York, their main residence — though he doesn't intend to leave the city entirely.
"I'm a lifelong New Yorker; you'll still see me at restaurants, Knicks games and Broadway shows," the late-night host said. "My job is here, my studio is here and a piece of my heart is here. My life will still revolve around this city."
