Deep-pocketed fans may have an easier time snagging this home than Taylor Swift’s tour tickets. 

The Manhattan townhouse that inspired the pop star’s “Cornelia Street” song has hit the market.

The former carriage house, on the track name-worthy Cornelia Street, listed one week ago for $17.99 million, according to StreetEasy.

Previously, the property was only looking for renters, not buyers. It went up for rent at a cool $45,000 a month late last year, and is still available to tenants at that price. 

(That’s just $500 more than two particularly pricey resold tickets to Swift’s current Eras tour.)

Laurence Carty, Irene Lo and Jennifer Rahilly of the Corcoran Group hold the listing. 

Swift, 33, called the West Village charmer her home in 2016 while waiting out the completion of renovations at her nearby Tribeca abode.

There, at her permanent residence, she’s spent some $47.7 million building out a palatial portion of Franklin Street, mostly in the block’s historic Sugar Loaf Building, where she now has a duplex penthouse and half of the building’s second story, The Post previously reported.

And that’s just the start of the “Blank Space” icon’s real estate profile: All included, the singer has some $80 million worth of property to her name across the nation. 

Back on Cornelia Street, the 153-year-old domicile still maintains its classic brick facade but, inside, it has been thoroughly modernized. 

There are three gas fireplaces, hardwood floors, double-height ceilings and a “celebrity tested, drive-right in garage and pool,” as the listing puts it. 

The pool, a gym and a modest backyard compose the garden level, with the garage and a guest suite above. The kitchen, living room, dining room and a bedroom are on the second floor.

The third floor contains the primary bedroom, its sumptuous terrace and, at the front of the house, another bedroom with terrace, all just a floor below the two-terraced roof deck.
