Shortly before her premiere as homicide detective Laura Diamond on the police procedural comedy The Mysteries of Laura in 2014, Debra Messing doled out $5.5 million for a rambling apartment within a boutique complex on the Upper East Side of Manhattan that was designed in the late 1920s by Rockefeller Center architects Raymond Hood and John Mead Howells.

The Emmy-winning actress, known for her role as interior designer Grace Adler on the long-running sitcom Will & Grace, first hired Lee Stahl of the design-build firm TRH New York to create a soothing refuge showcasing white, cream, and soft gray interiors imbued with vibrant pops of color, chocolate-colored hardwood floors, high coffered ceilings, and detailed crown molding and millwork.

In 2017, as she was preparing to film a new 13-episode reboot of Will & Grace in Los Angeles, a fire in a neighboring structure forced her to re-engage Stahl to renovate the place once again. Now that her son is in his 20s and getting an apartment with his friends, she has decided to downsize and has placed her twice-revamped spread on the market for just under $6.5 million. The listing is held by Cathy Franklin of The Corcoran Group

Set on the eighth floor of the nine-story pre-war art deco building, the home has four (and possibly five) bedrooms and four full bathrooms in roughly 3,100 square feet. A private elevator landing leads to a grand entrance gallery, which flows to a living area warmed by a white brick wood-burning fireplace with a metal surround and an elegant dining room topped with a black sunburst chandelier, both with French doors opening to Juliet balconies.

Beside the living room is a crimson-hued library with a full bath that makes it easily convertible to a fifth bedroom, while an eat-in kitchen connected to the dining room sports custom cabinetry, Carrara marble countertops, and a built-in pet-feeding station. Bedrooms are found in a separate wing. In addition to a pair of guest bedrooms that share a Jack-and-Jill bath and a small staff suite, an expansive corner primary suite flaunts a windowed dressing room and a beige-tiled bathroom with radiant-heated floors, a three-paneled mirror, a smart toilet, and a soaking tub accented by a bed of river rocks at its base.

Listing materials show the residence comes with a 2 percent flip tax payable by the purchaser, with the building permitting up to 50 percent financing. A $10,040-per-month HOA fee covers a doorman, resident manager, and private storage, with an additional monthly assessment of $2,092 through December 2026.

The Brooklyn native, who sold an estate in the Bel Air area of L.A. in 2014 for $11.4 million, told The Wall Street Journal she plans to stay in the Big Apple, adding, “New York is home.”
