And it’s all happening just before a very pregnant Williams, 40, is due to give birth to her first child — a baby girl — next week. To that end, Williams tells Gimme she’s moving to a bigger spread that she has since purchased in her beloved Harlem neighborhood.
The home that Williams is selling, whose listing is poised to go live on Monday afternoon, is the first she had ever owned.

“This was my first time as a home buyer, and it was really important to me to have ownership in Manhattan and in Harlem, which is such a storied neighborhood,” Williams told Gimme Shelter.
The Charlotte, NC-born lawyer, TV personality and former pageant queen is also the author of “ Bet on Black: The Good News About Being Black in America Today .” In addition, she’s also the star of a nationally syndicated show, “Equal Justice with Judge Eboni K. Williams” and the host of an award-winning NAACP podcast, “Holding Court with Eboni K. Williams.”
Williams bought this one-bedroom, one-bath, 688-square-foot dwelling at 300 W. 122nd St. — a development otherwise known as 300 West — for $830,000 in 2022.

“I bought it sight unseen and I was able to watch it come to completion,” Williams said.
Williams describes herself as a “working, entrepreneurial single mom by choice.”
Williams froze her eggs at 34, created an embryo at 39 and is slated to give birth shortly before her 41st birthday.
“It’s remarkable given that a generation ago this wouldn’t have been a concept. We are blessed and lucky that we even have this as an option,” Williams added.
After enjoying some downtime as a new mom, Williams tells Gimme that she plans to be back to her “bicoastal lifestyle” soon, as she films her show in LA.
This one-bedroom residence, with designs by Ty Larkins Interiors, features Italian chandeliers from the 1880s, gold leaf French mirrors, high-end finishes and lush grey velvet seating. Details also include 9-foot ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows and white oak herringbone floors. There’s also a custom Paris Forino kitchen and a custom California Closet.
Building amenities include this 40-foot pool. Zoe Wetherall For parents and caretakers, there’s even a children’s playroom. Zoe Wetherall
An alcove also functions as a home office. In addition, the spa-like bath comes with Harlem Toile de Jouy by Sheila Bridges. The decorations also include busts of Ida B. Wells, Harriet Tubman and Frederick Douglass.
Building amenities, meanwhile, include a gym, a library, a game room, a pool, bike storage and a children’s playroom. It’s also pet friendly — Williams lived here with her dog, a Cavalier King Charles spaniel named Carey James, after her grandfather.
The building amenities were also important to Williams — especially, she said, the “state-of-the-art gym, pool and sauna.”
With the baby soon to arrive, Williams is moving to a home that, at 1,450 square feet, is more than double the size — but still close by.
She loves having Morningside Park as her backyard and, she adds, the condo is close to everything, from the Apollo Theater to Whole Foods, a just-opened Trader Joe’s and the “newer, fancier” restaurants. “It has a perfect mix of everything you need as a professional New York woman,” she said.
The listing broker is Stan Montfort of Serhant.
