    An Upper East Side townhouse that once served as a luxe backdrop for HBO’s hit drama “Succession” has gone into contract with an asking price of $17.5 million, according to the latest Olshan Luxury Market Report.
    The final sale price is not yet available, as the sale hasn’t closed.
    Located at 160 E. 83rd St., the 8,000-square-foot limestone residence gained widespread recognition as the home of Kendall Roy in Season 1, played by Jeremy Strong.

    The property is more than just a filming location — it’s a blend of historic architecture and modern luxury.
    Originally built in the 1880s, the townhouse has undergone a complete gut renovation.
    Once divided into two duplex apartments, the property was purchased in 2005 for $5 million from the estate of a portrait artist known for painting President Richard Nixon and the Shah of Iran.

    The property also boasts mahogany floors, five gas fireplaces and a spiral staircase with a skylight oculus.

    And the townhouse isn’t new to the spotlight.
    Beyond “Succession,” it has appeared in shows like “Saturday Night Live,” “Elsbeth,” “Younger,” and “Law & Order: SVU.” The “SNL” skit filmed in the home featured Will Ferrell and Kristen Wiig.
    It has also been a sought-after location for Vogue photo shoots.
