‘Game of Thrones’ Actor Michiel Huisman Is Selling His N.Y.C. Loft for $3.3 Million
In the game of New York City real estate, Michiel Huisman scored himself a real winner.
The Game of Thrones actor is parting ways with his Flatiron co-op for $3.3 million, and along with its ties to one of the most popular TV programs of all time, the two-bedroom, two-bath unit was once the site of the legendary 1970s after-hours club Cobra’s Lair that, being just a block away from Andy Warhol’s Factory, attracted an arty downtown crowd. Elise Ehrlich and Chris Pomeroy at Brown Harris Stevens hold the listing.

Along with portraying Daario Naharis on Game of Thrones, Housman is also well known for his work in Dutch TV shows and films. Records show that he snapped up the Flatiron spread in 2016 for $2.2 million, and he later undertook a renovation with the architect Elizabeth Roberts to turn the loft into a much more contemporary and light-filled space. Rather than an over-fussed set piece, Huisman’s loft leans toward the relaxed feeling of a casual home, blending modern design elements with original details like the seven oak-framed windows that look out on the nearby Union Square Park.
A huge door at the far end of the living room pivots open to the primary bedroom. The accompanying bathroom is decked out with a Zucchetti soaking tub and funky black-and-white-tiled walls. A walk-in closet completes the suite. Just inside the front door, a mezzanine space has been turned into a guest bedroom, although it could also serve as an office or creative retreat. Underneath is a ton of storage space along with some of the mechanical systems. The serene guest bath, meanwhile, sports a walk-in shower and a light-pink onyx marble wall and sink.
The oak-framed sash windows are original to the space.

The open living area, lined with built-in cabinetry, stretches to 37 feet long and is topped by a 12-foot ceiling, making the magnanimous amount of square footage feel even more expansive. The Calacatta Viola marble counters and backsplash make an eye-catching statement in the otherwise minimalist kitchen, which is outfitted with a PITT Cooking stove and a Blue Star oven.
Situated in the neo-Gothic McIntyre Building, the co-op is a relative steal in the Flatiron neighborhood, home to several massive penthouses that command hefty price tags. Last year, for example, a seven-bedroom triplex hit the market for $30 million, and a few months later, a nearby penthouse listed for $25 million, with all the proceeds going toward philanthropic efforts in Africa.
