Streep's penthouse sits at the top of River Lofts tower on Laight Street in Tribeca, where a private keyed elevator in the lobby leads directly to a private vestibule in the penthouse. The building has been called home by other celebrities that include Gwyneth Paltrow.
The building also has a fitness center, a 24-hour doorman, a bicycle room, a garden, and an on-site garage, according to the listing.
Tribeca's 10007 is the richest ZIP code in New York City, according to Bloomberg.
The average income of the downtown neighborhood's residents is $879,000, Bloomberg reported.
Streep brought in $8 million in 2015, making her one of the highest paid actresses in the world.

The penthouse has Brazilian walnut hardwood floors and a central audio system throughout.
The full-floor penthouse spans almost 4,000 square feet.
The living area includes a wood-burning fireplace and terrace access on two sides.

Streep and her husband owned the Tribeca penthouse for 14 years. They bought it for $10.13 million in 2006.
"I have gardened under the stars on hot days, and sat by the cozy fire while the snow piled up on the terrace," Streep said in a statement to The Wall Street Journal. "This has been a great home for us, and I hope another family can now enjoy it as much as we have."
Streep told the Journal in August 2019 that she and her husband were selling the penthouse because they were moving to California.
