The sellers were Chris Mitchell, the former publisher of Vanity Fair and The New Yorker, and Pilar Guzman, the former editor-in-chief of Condé Nast Traveler and currently the editorial director of Oprah Daily.

Beate Moore and Frank Newbold of Sotheby’s had the listing. Moore said: “19 Cottage Avenue is one of the finest properties I have represented. Everyone who had the opportunity to view the home was equally impressed. This transaction was seamless and enjoyable for all parties, and to achieve the full asking price for the best clients, a home run.”
