WeWork cofounder Miguel McKelvey has put his New York City townhouse up for sale for $21 million, The New York Post reported.
McKelvey's home sits in the heart of Manhattan's Greenwich Village, a historically bohemian neighborhood that's now one of the priciest in the city and beloved by celebrities.

Originally built in 1845. In 1970, the home was almost completely destroyed when a radical leftist group detonated a bomb in the basement. It was completely rebuilt in 1978 in a modernist style.
Two members of the group survived the blast, while three members died, according to The New York Times.
At the time, the home owner's daughter had joined the group in college. She and four other members had been building nail bombs in the basement for targets including a military officer's club in New Jersey, the Times reported.
The 21-foot-wide home has top-of-the-line tech throughout, including an integrated system for audio, video, shades, and lighting, and radiant heat flooring.
There's also full-house humidification, a remote security and intercom system, a water purification system, and a snow-melting system, according to the listing.
The home's master suite sits on the top two floors of the home, where a wall of windows opens up onto a terrace.

The back garden and terrace has plenty of entertaining space, with an outdoor kitchen and grill as well as a heated plunge pool.
For those who don't want to make the commitment of buying McKelvey's storied home, it's also being offered as a rental for $50,000 a month.
