Call it a home run on the second pitch—Livvy Dunne is now officially a West Village resident. The 23-year-old social media star and former LSU gymnast has joined the ranks of other prominent influencers by purchasing a luxurious one-bedroom, two-bath condominium at 345 West 14th Street for $1.95 million.

Dunne’s high-profile apartment hunt drew widespread attention earlier this year, especially after she shared with her eight million TikTok followers that she was blocked from buying Babe Ruth’s former residence on West 88th Street. “Pretty much the people in the building voted to not have me live there, which is fine,” Dunne explained, noting that she had already begun planning interior design changes before learning of the board’s decision. The seller’s agent for the Upper West Side co-op previously told The Post that their team was “all shocked and displeased” by the board’s call.

Babe Ruth’s co-op, a prewar building dating back to 1915, holds a unique place in baseball history. The legendary home run hitter lived there during the 1920s and 1930s with his wife Claire and their daughter Julia while playing for the Yankees.

In contrast, Dunne’s new West Village condo offers a distinctly modern living experience. Built in 2014, the apartment spans over 1,100 square feet and features high ceilings, custom millwork, and a contemporary kitchen equipped with a Wolfe range, Sub-Zero refrigerator, and granite countertops.

The primary suite boasts two closets and a bath lined with Spanish travertine, while the building itself offers residents a landscaped roof deck, fitness center, and full-time staff. “It isn’t Babe Ruth’s apartment but it’ll do,” Dunne joked during her apartment search.

McKenzie Ryan of Douglas Elliman handled the listing. Both Ryan and Dunne declined to comment on the sale.
