Claire Danes and Hugh Dancy Sell West Village Townhouse for $9.9 Million

Actors Claire Danes and Hugh Dancy have successfully sold their charming townhouse located in Manhattan’s West Village, a property they acquired in late 2012 for $6.8 million. The modernized Greek Revival townhouse was recently listed at an asking price of nearly $9.8 million and has been sold to an undisclosed buyer for $9.9 million, as reported by The Wall Street Journal.

Details of the Townhouse

The property, which spans approximately 3,000 square feet, features a stunning combination of red brick and wood accents. It includes four bedrooms and five bathrooms, along with three outdoor spaces. Emphasized in the marketing materials as a “really happy, romantic, special place,” the home begins with a welcoming entry foyer/mudroom that leads to a coat closet and powder room, along with a dedicated office area.

The primary living area boasts a cozy fireside living and dining space that flows into a modern kitchen outfitted with a glass-block ceiling, high-end Miele appliances, and direct access to an outdoor dining area, perfect for entertaining guests.

Interior Highlights

The second floor of the townhouse presents a versatile den/media room featuring a fireplace, built-in bookcases, and a wet bar, all enhanced by glass doors that open to a terrace shaded by a trellis. This level also includes a guest bedroom equipped with its own full bath. The third floor houses two additional bedrooms, while the top floor is dedicated entirely to a luxurious primary suite, which includes an en-suite bath complete with a steam shower and a clawfoot soaking tub.

Ascending even further, residents can access a rooftop deck that includes a garden and an outdoor kitchen, complemented by impressive views of One World Trade Center. The property is rounded out by a finished basement that includes a well-appointed wine cellar, adding another layer of luxury to this exquisite townhouse.

Reasons for the Sale

Sources close to the couple indicated that the primary reason for listing the property was the desire for more space to accommodate their three children and frequent family visitors. It is rumored that Danes and Dancy have invested $13 million in a new townhouse near Gramercy Park, which boasts eight bedrooms and ten bathrooms over 8,500 square feet of living space.

Conclusion

This sale marks a significant move for the couple as they transition into a larger living space that suits their growing family’s needs. The West Village townhouse holds a notable place in their past, now passing on to its next owner.
