‘This is sad,’ one user wrote, ‘The best RONY memory is when LuAnn was living there,’ while another chimed in, ‘I loved the portrait reveal party!! Classic @sonjatmorgan.’
Rounding out the touching throwbacks, one follower shared a lengthy response to Sonja’s question.
‘All the parties, all the events all the moments of Sonja with the girls will remain in my Bravo RHONY heart,’ they gushed. ‘From the opera singer performing on the main floor, to the psychic in the dining room (by the way my favorite wallpaper with the portraits to the ladies lunching in the yard, facials on the terrace & Lu living upstairs, it truly is an end to an era. It was an epic ride & nobody brought there more than Soni. Love u girl! U are truly a legend.’
In a follow-up post, Sonja documented herself finding one of her koi fish dead, telling the person filming that she didn’t have time to take the fish to the crematory now and would have to keep him in the freezer until later.
The reality star then scooped up the deceased fish with a net before asking the movers if they could take him and the rest of the fish on the truck with them.

Sonja explained that she got her fish from Connecticut over 20 years ago, and they mean a lot to her.
On the topic of fish, the clip showed the entrepreneur telling the workers, ‘One time I found a goldfish in the toaster. Unfortunately my daughter found it.’
‘I don’t know if she has PTSD from it,’ Sonja continued. ‘Some guys from the hedge fund were here partying, and they thought they’d be like, you know, the wolves of Wall Street, so they were like, “Arg! I’m going to eat your goldfish!” and so my daughter made toast and it popped out.’
She captioned the hilarious video, ‘I’m not leaving without my fish! End of a different kind of era…’

Her daughter Quincy Morgan commented beneath the Instagram, ‘Mom the fish can’t go on the truck.’
The 4,650-square-foot, five-story home – which sold for $4.45 million – was first listed in May, and boasts six bedrooms, a sauna and gym as well as a secret elevator.
On a recent episode of Watch What Happens Live, Sonja told host Andy Cohen, ‘Every time I would list it, I would rent it because I’d have to pay the bills every month. This time I said, “Auction it. I want out. I want a finite time. I am out.”‘
At the time of the listing, Paulina Kimbel, VP of business development at Concierge Auction told People about the property, ‘Set within the embrace of one of New York’s most iconic tree-lined blocks, this home is more than just a residence; it’s the pinnacle of refined living.’
‘It offers a rare combination of top-notch setting and elegant European feel, culminating in a winning combination. Each of the five floors is a testament to the artistry of design, having been graced by furnishings curated by internationally-renowned figures,’ he continued. ‘In a city where luxury abounds, this property stands out as a beacon of elevated elegance, offering a lifestyle that is as unique as it is extraordinary.’

Sonja also made a statement about the auction, telling the New York Post, ‘This townhouse has been our cherished home for decades. In addition to raising my daughter here, we entertained heads of state, royalty, luminaries and Fortune 500 CEOs.’
She added: ‘Many memories were made over the years, including hosting my daughter’s friends from boarding school and university, and so many noteworthy moments were filmed by NBC for Bravo and Peacock TV. Now, as an empty nester, I am ready to share this turnkey, easy-to-manage jewel over to someone new to enjoy as we did.’
