A retail condominium at 29-31 E. 22nd St. that had been a location for fine gift and tabletop seller, Carole Stupell, Ltd., was sold for $3.65 million.

The space has 3,400 square feet on the ground and 2,200 square feet on the lower level.

The condo was purchased by the nonprofit women’s arts organization The Pen and Brush, which plans to use it for offices and gallery space. Patrick Gavin and Robert Haberman of Prudential Douglas Elliman represented the buyers.

Nick Poshkus of Corcoran Group represented the seller, Keith Mervis, who owned the condo along with the business founded by his mother, Carole, more than 70 years ago.

When Carole’s original location at 61 E. 57th St. was redeveloped into the Four Seasons Hotel, she simply moved to what was then her warehouse in the Flatiron District.

Stupell is credited with coming up with the idea for the first bridal registry, and patrons included the late Whitney Houston.
