It’s a little like setting up a finishing school in a bordello.
Page Six hears that the new owner of Sonja Morgan’s townhouse is using it, of all things, as a sober living facility.

Morgan famously struggled for years to off-load the pad.
The former “Real Housewives of New York City” star listed her gorgeous five-story 63rd Street home — where she lived with her J.P. Morgan heir husband, John Adams Morgan, until their 2006 split — in 2019 for $11 million.

Its website highlights its elegant accommodations, some of which may look familiar to viewers of the Bravo smash hit, in which Morgan starred from 2010 until 2021 when the entire original cast was replaced.

When we told her about her old home’s new life, Morgan said via text: “Hhhhaaaa!” She added that the buyer had told her he planned to live there with his wife, so she’s surprised to hear it.
Her “Sonja In Your City” variety show will be at City Winery on Sept. 5 and she’ll appear on “Celebrity Name That Tune” on Nov. 17.
Release Recovery declined to comment.
