Actor Hugh Jackman has, over the past six months or so, listed two notable New York properties. His architecturally significant Hamptons retreat appeared on the rental market this winter, while his triplex condo in Manhattan popped up for sale on the open market about a year ago.

The Hamptons property, a glassy and somewhat earthy midcentury-inspired modern with monastic interiors, was offered as a $500K summer lark. But the West Village penthouse condo, which was initially tagged at $38.9 million, is the subject at hand. The property saw a couple of price revisions this spring. Currently, the riverside property is listed at $29.9 million.

The 11,000 sq. ft. loft-style residence has five bedrooms and six baths to its credit. The heart of the home is the soaring great room, a positive modern cathedral of a space with a bank of oversized windows and clerestories that all but usher the Hudson into the room. A sculpted floating staircase corkscrews between the floors, representing one of two centerpieces in the room; an open fire feature stands as the other.

Similar to the Hamptons home, the residence is ethereal, even pristine, with a bit of industrial and very pale hardwood acting in covert lieu of overt ornament. Architect Richard Meier designed the home; regular readers may recall the name from Eli Broad’s home in Malibu, which appeared for sale for $75 million in the early spring of 2020, ultimately selling for $52 million a little over a year later.

Jackman’s film roles of the past two decades include turns as competitive prestidigitator Angier in The Prestige, prototypical naturalistic symbol Jean Valjean in Les Miserables, swindler Frank Tessone in Bad Education, and, repeatedly, lycanesque Marvel-blockbuster avenger Logan, who will be back in skewering form once more in next year’s Deadpool 3.
