David Lauren is the son of designer Ralph Lauren, while Lauren Bush Lauren is the niece of former President George W. Bush and the granddaughter of former President George H.W. Bush.

The Post also reports Bush Lauren's mother Sharon Smith Bush - a broker at Corcoran - helped represent the couple in the sale.

Leibovitz had been trying to unload her trio of West Village townhouses for well over a year, and she finally succeeded in January, according to The Wall Street Journal.

The seven-bedroom compound was originally listed for $33 million in 2012 with Brown Harris Stevens. After languishing on the market, it was discounted to $29.9 million and taken over by the Corcoran Real Estate Group, complete with bright new pictures of the home. The 10,200-square-foot property finally sold for $28.5 million in January.

The trio of buildings were combined and renovated by Leibovitz herself, who started buying them in 2002. The compound has a main home, Leibovitz's studio, and a two-story guest home with its own bedroom, kitchen, and two fireplaces.

In the backyard is a slate patio with a private garden area accessible by the street. The photographer sold her home to reportedly move closer to the uptown school of her three daughters.
