Livvy Dunne struck out in bid to buy Babe Ruth’s NYC home after she put it on social media, ticking off co-op board: neighbor

Livvy Dunne’s no Babe.

Olivia “Livvy” Dunne struck out in her bid to buy Yankees’ great Babe Ruth’s former New York City home because the former LSU star gymnast overshared about the purchase on Instagram, The Post has learned.

The co-op board in the Upper West Side building rejected Dunne’s purchase — a $1.59 million, all-cash deal — days before she was going to collect the luxurious pad’s keys, the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover model revealed Tuesday in a TikTok video titled, “I’m just disappointed that’s all.”

Dunne claimed to have “no clue” why she was rejected, but one resident in the West 88th Street building said the viral sensation was simply too online for the board’s tastes.

“She messed up,” the neighbor said.

“The board got pissed because she put it on her Instagram.”

Sure enough, Dunne shared a video to her 5.4 million Instagram followers in May that showed her bikini-clad, skipping along a beach with a caption boasting: “bought a nyc apt.”

The alleged overshare and grumpy co-op board vote now puts Ruth’s historic pad — a seventh-floor, three-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom pre-war residence at 345 W. 88th St — back on the market.

Ruth, the legendary “Sultan of Swat” lived on the property with his late second wife, Claire Merritt Ruth, and their late adopted daughter Julia Ruth Stevens, from 1920 to 1940.

The building even has a commemorative plaque honoring the New York Yankees great.

Dunne, who made an estimated $9.5 million through the “name, image and likeness” rules in the NCAA, entered the picture after the apartment went on the market in March.

The building resident said they spotted Dunne and Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher and boyfriend Paul Skenes visiting the co-op in the run-up to the aborted sale — which the influencer said would be her “first real estate purchase” ever.

“I have to admit, when I saw her from behind I didn’t think she was an adult,” the resident said.

“I thought she was a little boy. She’s so little, like a child.”

Things apparently went well enough that Dunne said she and Skenes even hired an interior designer to decorate the apartment.

“It got to the point where the realtor was so confident, Paul and I went, I got an interior designer because I didn’t want to bring my college furniture to Babe Ruth’s apartment, that would be like, criminal,” Dunne dished in her TikTok video.

But the co-op board had other plans.

Dunne said in her TikTok video that she learned the board denied her purchase, but she didn’t know why other than it wasn’t financial.

“It could have been, for all I know, they could have been Alabama fans and I went to LSU,” Dunne quipped.

“Maybe they didn’t want a public figure living there,” she said, inching closer to the purported truth, “but I was literally supposed to get the keys and that week they denied me.”

The seller’s agent from Compass said they were “all shocked and displeased” by the board’s rejection, and tried unsuccessfully to get them to reconsider.

“The managing agent got back to me days later and said the board decision was final and that was it,” the seller’s agent said.

“The seller’s real estate attorney liquidated (Dunne’s) deposit and that was it and we’re back on the market.”

The board doesn’t have to disclose why they turned Dunne down, the agent noted.

“This is New York City, this is co-op stuff,” said another building resident who declined to give her name.

“It’s different than condo. It happens all the time.”

One resident who only heard about the rejection from an online article from The Post was bummed to learn she was almost neighbors with the social media star.

“I wish her well,” she said.

“Who knows why they rejected her.”

Dunne summed up her misadventure with a warning to her eight million TikTok followers.

“Long story short: don’t try to live in a co-op,” she said.

“You might get denied and you won’t get Babe Ruth’s apartment.”
