Nicole Kidman‘s stunning New York City townhouse from The Undoing has hit the real estate market.
In a post on Sotheby’s International Realty, the sprawling apartment at 8 East 63rd Street is for sale – but it doesn’t come cheap, with an eye-watering $29,995,000 asking price attached.
The five-storey townhouse, which sits between New York City’s famed Fifth Avenue and Madison Avenue and is right near Central Park, acted as the backdrop for Kidman’s home in the new drama series which also stars Hugh Grant and Donald Sutherland.
The sprawling nine-bedroom apartment was built in 1878 to resemble an 18th century English townhouse, based on a design by renowned American architect C.P.H. Gilbert and intended for his client Joseph Hodges Choate, a prominent lawyer and statesman.
