    Ellen Barkin’s Former N.Y.C. Townhouse Just Hit the Market for $23 Million

    by

    Back in 2006, shortly after her divorce from billionaire financier Ronald O. Perelman, Ellen Barkin shelled out $7.5 million for an 1840s Greek Revival townhouse in Manhattan‘s Greenwich Village neighborhood that came with a 20-foot parlor extension designed by the late Louvre Pyramid architect I.M. Pei.

    Now the stylishly reimagined digs have popped up for sale again, this time with an elevated $23 million price tag. Christian Rogers, Matthew Wojnarowicz, and Eileen McGill of Howard Hanna Elegran hold the listing.

    One of the home’s two living rooms is warmed by a decorative fluted fireplace.

    Famously occupied by the Emmy- and Tony-winning actress for almost two decades until 2023, the property was last sold to husband-and-wife development and design team Sven and Sara Simon of dasCasa in early 2023 for $11 million. Since extensively remodeled by the couple, the red brick structure measures 21 feet wide and offers four bedrooms and five baths in 4,500 square feet of colorfully hued and art-filled living space.

    The first floor is highlighted by a hallway that flows past a bedroom and bath on its way to a wood-beamed kitchen outfitted with dark green cabinetry, an eat-in island, top-tier Bertazzoni and Sub-Zero appliances, a butler’s pantry, and a breakfast nook. A rear media room painted a rosy shade spills out to a patio with an outdoor kitchen and a garden beyond.

    Outdoor spaces include three terraces, a roof deck, and a patio that extends to a lush garden.

    Holding court on the second floor are two fireside living rooms, plus a wood-paneled dining room with a wet bar and French doors leading out to a black-and-white-tiled terrace with stairs to the garden below. Occupying the entire third level is a sprawling primary retreat sporting a fireplace, a private balcony, an expansive dressing room, and a marble-clad bath spotlighted by a freestanding soaking tub. Above that are two more bedrooms with their own walk-in closets and baths, plus another bedroom that currently serves as an office.

    Rounding it all off is a sky-lit staircase that ascends to a rooftop deck equipped with a bar. There’s also a partially finished basement, which includes a laundry room, a game/wellness room, and storage space. Marketing materials rightly describe the pad as a “world-class experience and asset, where design-forward living meets effortless comfort.”

      ‘Game of Thrones’ Actor Michiel Huisman Is Selling His N.Y.C. Loft for $3.3 Million

      by

      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.

      The high-contrast marble counter and backsplash make a bold statement in the kitchen.

      Brown Harris Stevens

      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.

      Brown Harris Stevens

      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.

      The Sumptuous Duplex of a New York Style Icon Lists for $5.5 Million

      by

      Carolyne Roehm is officially letting go of her bespoke New York City apartment. The lifestyle author, socialite, and former fashion designer—she worked with Oscar de la Renta before launching her own successful womenswear line, which lasted 10 years—has hoisted her majestic Manhattan duplex on the market for a stitch under $5.5 million. Charles Holmes and Evita LaSasso of Coldwell Banker Warburg share the listing.

      Online reports show she acquired the seven-room spread from magazine publisher Marion Gilliam for $4.7 million back in 2004, some 10 years after she split from her second husband, Henry R. Kravis, a financier known for his $25 billion buyout of Nabisco in the late 1980s.

      Roehm initially refused to even consider buying a place at the 21-story, pre-war Neoclassical 322 East 57th Street building, which was originally designed as a studio hotel by architect Harry M. Clawson in 1929 and is sometimes referred to as the Mr. Chow building, after the venerable Chinese restaurant that anchors the ground floor. She had previously looked at Frank and Kathie Lee Gifford’s apartment there and decided it had relatively modest rooms, aside from the grand salons, per The New York Times.

      An acquaintance then insisted she just had to see this particular apartment because it resembled Weatherstone, her 18th-century stone house in the Connecticut town of Sharon. “When I first walked into this apartment, it was as if I had a twin brother and he’d lived here,” she said. “There were my pilasters! There was the coffered ceiling just like I have at Weatherstone.”

      An upstairs bedroom has been converted into a dressing area with a wall of deep closets.

      Situated on the 12th and 13th floors of the building, the palatial pad has three bedrooms and three baths across roughly 3,100 square feet outfitted with an ample allowance of gilded furnishings and decor. A semi-private elevator landing opens into a lower-level entrance gallery bathed in limestone, with a hallway flowing to a square-shaped, 27-foot-by-27-foot great room boasting an 18-foot coffered ceiling, brown walls dotted with striped white pilasters, a marble fireplace, built-in bookshelves, and two 12-foot casement windows offering city skyline views.

      An oval dining room with a curved pocketing door has rich fabric panels and recessed dome lighting, and a windowed kitchen sports stainless appliances and a concealed butler’s pantry. Both a grand staircase and a private elevator head upstairs, where a handsome oak-paneled study is warmed by a fireplace. A posh southern-exposure primary hosts a large bath equipped with a soaking tub and a steam shower, while two additional en suite guest bedrooms include one that’s been converted into a dressing area.

      Rounding it all off: a hefty $10,399 monthly maintenance fee, which avails the new owner with a round-the-clock doorman, storage space, and, of course, primo access to Mr. Chow.

      This $12 Million Long Island Estate Was the Summer Home of the Late Gallerist Barbara Gladstone

      by

      The late Barbara Gladstone’s name is back in the headlines this summer—not for her eponymous art galleries, but for her real estate. Just weeks after her elegant Chelsea townhouse came to market, the influential art dealer’s sprawling North Fork getaway has quietly followed suit, asking $12 million with Bridget Elkin of Compass.

      Gladstone, who helped define contemporary art through her visionary gallery in Manhattan—there are outposts in Brussels and Seoul—and represented artists like Robert Rauschenberg and Keith Haring, kept the waterfront estate in Cutchogue as a refuge from the city’s art-world hustle. She died in June 2024 at the age of 89.

      Spacious yet cozy living spaces feature soaring ceilings, picture windows, and multiple fireplaces.

      Set on 140 feet of pristine frontage with a sandy beach on the Great Peconic Bay, the 10,000-square-foot shingle-style residence is one of the few remaining turn-of-the-19th-century summer “cottages” on the East End of Long Island to remain relatively unadulterated. This restored and updated gem beautifully blends old-world craftsmanship and modern luxury, preserving original doorknobs and hardware while seamlessly incorporating contemporary comforts. The 1.2-acre property was briefly on the market last year but has now returned with refreshed interiors and a renewed sense of quiet grandeur.

      A dedicated flower-cutting room is complete with a custom marble sink.

      The main floor is equally suited to quiet repose and lively entertaining, with waterside living and dining rooms that both have a fireplace and fluted trimwork around the windows and doors. The chef’s kitchen is expansive, complete with a window-lined breakfast area, a butler’s pantry, and a flower-cutting room outfitted with a custom marble sink. An enormous screened porch nearby includes a summer kitchen and dining area that overlooks the bay.

      The primary suite on the second floor is a cozy sanctuary with a fireplace, dressing room, extensive walk-in closets, and sweeping water views. The second and third floors contain five more bedrooms, along with a library, an office, multiple wet bars, and bathrooms outfitted with steam showers and soaking tubs.

      Unfussy but beautifully maintained perennial gardens and hedged lawns frame a gunite swimming pool overlooking the water, while a charming carriage house provides additional space with a home theater, gym, and guest quarters. The estate also features a historic icehouse, a quiet reminder of its rich history.

      Records indicate Gladstone owned another nearby home that she referred to as “the Guesthouse.” It was sold earlier this year for $1.94 million, a hefty chunk over the $1.8 million price tag.

      A Dr. Seuss Collaborator’s Former N.Y.C. Townhouse Can Be Yours for $13.5 Million

      by

      Ever wish walls could talk? If the ones within this Upper East Side townhouse long owned by the late Phyllis Cerf Wagner could indeed speak, they most assuredly would have their share of fascinating tales to spin. Think stories of all the famous guests from Judy Garland to Frank Sinatra who visited the historic premises at some point during a 60-plus-year tenure that saw the Manhattan socialite, onetime movie actress, and collaborator with Dr. Seuss on a series of landmark children’s books outlive not just one but two prominent spouses.

      Records show Wagner purchased the Italianate-style property in 1941 with her first husband Bennett Cerf, co-founder of the Random House publishing company. After he died in 1971, she went on to wed former New York City mayor Robert Wagner Jr., who passed away in in 1991, and then remained in the home until her death in 2006 at age 90. The residence subsequently sold for $8.5 million to jewelry designer Suzanne Sheik, the mother of Barely Breathing singer Duncan Sheik, before going to the current unnamed owner in 2010 for $14 million.

      Now the towering 16-room spread between Lexington and Park avenues in the Lenox Hill neighborhood is being offered for $13.5 million, with the listing shared by James Weiss, Andrew Schwartz, and Ty Mabry of The Corcoran Group.

      Designed and built in the 1870s by architect Robert Sexton, the recently renovated brick structure clocks in at 20 feet wide with five bedrooms and seven baths in 7,200 square feet of art deco-inspired living space boasting high ceilings, several wood-burning fireplaces, and a hydraulic elevator to all five levels. A security system and air-conditioning have also been added to the mix.

      Upon entry, a marble-clad foyer flows to an eat-in kitchen flaunting a pricey La Cornue range. From there, a coffered-ceiling sitting and dining area opens to a private trellis-covered garden featuring a water wall, mature plantings, and custom lighting. The parlor level, meanwhile, hosts a reception lounge with a black-and-white-striped living room on one side and a library/dining room on the other.

      The third level lends way to a bay-windowed primary suite outfitted with a morning bar and a pass-through wardrobe that connects to a bath sporting dual vanities, a large glass-encased shower, and a soaking tub alongside window coverings embellished with glass orbs. More bedrooms and a sky-lit den/office can be found on the top two floors, while a wine cellar and laundry room are situated down in the basement.

      When the townhouse was last sold, it came complete with artwork by Andy Warhol, Anish Kapoor, and Roy Lichtenstein; books signed by William Faulkner and Joan Didion; and an oil painting by Frank Sinatra. Those items are currently on display but are not, unfortunately, included in the sale this time around.

      One of Ballet’s Greatest Dancers Is Selling His N.Y.C. Townhouse for $2.8 Million

      by

      Tucked away on a quiet street in Hamilton Heights, this early 1900s townhouse has long been home to a legendary pairing that effortlessly blends athleticism with artistry. Edward Villella, the trailblazing American ballet dancer who reshaped the role of men in ballet, shares the space with his wife, Linda Carbonetto Villella, a former Canadian figure skating champion. Now listed for $2.75 million with the Blumstein Team at Corcoran, this historic home is as compelling as the lives it sheltered. 

      Villella’s impressive dance career includes roles as a principal dancer with the New York City Ballet, a muse to George Balanchine, and the star of iconic works like Prodigal Son and Rubies. He performed at JFK’s inauguration, earned the National Medal of Arts and Kennedy Center Honors, and later founded the Miami City Ballet, turning it into a powerhouse company. Meanwhile, Carbonetto made her mark on ice, winning the Canadian national figure skating championship in 1969 and competing in the 1968 Winter Olympics before transitioning to professional skating and later nurturing ballet talent at the Miami City Ballet School.

      The townhouse, originally designed as a two-family home but now a singular residence, spans roughly 3,800 square feet across five floors. Walking inside, you’re met with period details that anchor the home in its early 20th-century roots: antique doors, wrought iron railings, hardwood floors, and lofty ceilings create a warm, timeless atmosphere. It’s got three bedrooms and three full baths, with two wood-burning fireplaces for cozy evenings in.

      The primary suite is a standout: a bay window bathes the room in natural light, while a dressing area and walk-in closet provide ample space. The bathroom leans into luxury with a spa-like vibe, complete with a steam shower and a jacuzzi tub wrapped in marble and copper finishes—a perfect place to unwind after a long day, whether rehearsing a pas de deux or trying on clothes at Bergdorf’s.

      The kitchen is bright and inviting, with a balcony that opens to the backyard and plenty of space for casual meals or entertaining. A finished basement adds even more versatility, featuring a wet bar, wine cellar, and direct access to the deep private garden—a rare gem in the city. Modern conveniences like central air conditioning, gas heating, and laundry hookups on multiple floors keep day-to-day life comfortable and effortless.
