"The townhouse is perfect for Madonna," a source told the paper. "She's trying to recreate London in New York City, and this is in the style of a London townhouse."

The property, which features 36 rooms across 12,000 sq. ft, is one of the most expensive properties purchased in the area, a broker told the paper.

"[No home in that area] has ever sold for $20 million, let alone $30 million – or ever will again," the broker said.

In addition, the property contains a 3,000-sq. ft. garden, a two-car garage and nine fireplaces.

But, the residence isn't a quiet, serene estate.

According to another source, those inside the property can hear subway trains through the floors.
