A visually stunning, 25-foot-wide “architectural masterpiece” featured in the Netflix romantic comedy “Uncoupled,” starring Neal Patrick Harris, just hit the market in New York’s Midtown West neighborhood for $11,750,000.
The six-story townhouse has had ties to Hollywood for decades, appearing in everything from “Law & Order” and “Good Morning America” to “HBO: The Other Two” and “CBS The Second Wave.”
“My client tells me that he has an agent for the home,” says listing agent Clara Chung, of Douglas Elliman. “He’s using it as a live/work space and is very intentional about using it for photo shoots and production.”
Built in 1910, the five-bedroom residence has been thoughtfully modernized over the years to offer a luxurious, 7,000-square-foot open floor plan.
Historic highlights remaining intact include loft-inspired ceiling heights, built-ins, and garden and rooftop areas.
The dwelling last traded hands for $7,500,000 in 2021. Chung says the renovations were done by the previous owners.
“You can’t truly appreciate the light until you are in the space,” she says. “It feels like a downtown loft with its incredibly wide interior.”
An eye-catching parlor level boasts a two-story living room with 22-foot ceilings; a floor-to-ceiling, wood-burning fireplace; and glass wall overlooking a garden-facing terrace.
The luxurious chef’s kitchen has high-end appliances, marble countertops, and an oversized breakfast bar. A nearby dining room was designed for both lavish entertaining and intimate gatherings.
A garden level that was custom designed for grand-scale entertaining features a recreation room with a wet bar, beer tap, mini fridge, and dishwasher. It also has access to a beautifully landscaped garden designed for relaxing.
“The media room has its own kitchen, ping-pong table, and arcade,” Chung says. “There is even a card table that can be used for poker nights.”
The dramatic primary suite on the penthouse level boasts a spa-inspired bathroom, walk-in closet, and private terrace. There is also access to a rooftop terrace with wet bar and gas fireplace that would be ideal for morning coffee or a nightcap while soaking in the stunning views.
“It is located in a quintessential New York neighborhood,” she says. “Right around the corner on 9th Avenue, there are incredible restaurants. You can just imagine scenes in a show walking to a restaurant.”
Showstopping details throughout the home include reclaimed wood accents, a sculptural steel-and-glass staircase, custom millwork, and cove-lit coffered ceilings. Other highlights include smart home automation, in-ceiling surround sound, commercial-grade mechanicals, and a rooftop generator for uninterrupted power.
“I think the next buyer will be someone in the entertainment space, technology, or finance,” Chung says. “It will be someone who loves city living and appreciates the smart home system. The previous owner was a family with children, so it could be used as a primary residence, or it could be someone on the older side who appreciates the Lincoln Center and Carnegie Hall.”
Ideally located minutes from Central Park, Columbus Circle, Hudson Yards, and Broadway theaters, the sophisticated stacked estate could also be used as an investment property.
“You can be anywhere within 10 minutes,” she adds. “It’s a very special townhouse that you might not recognize just how special it is from the outside.”
