Back in 2006, shortly after her divorce from billionaire financier Ronald O. Perelman, Ellen Barkin shelled out $7.5 million for an 1840s Greek Revival townhouse in Manhattan‘s Greenwich Village neighborhood that came with a 20-foot parlor extension designed by the late Louvre Pyramid architect I.M. Pei.
Now the stylishly reimagined digs have popped up for sale again, this time with an elevated $23 million price tag. Christian Rogers, Matthew Wojnarowicz, and Eileen McGill of Howard Hanna Elegran hold the listing.

Famously occupied by the Emmy- and Tony-winning actress for almost two decades until 2023, the property was last sold to husband-and-wife development and design team Sven and Sara Simon of dasCasa in early 2023 for $11 million. Since extensively remodeled by the couple, the red brick structure measures 21 feet wide and offers four bedrooms and five baths in 4,500 square feet of colorfully hued and art-filled living space.
The first floor is highlighted by a hallway that flows past a bedroom and bath on its way to a wood-beamed kitchen outfitted with dark green cabinetry, an eat-in island, top-tier Bertazzoni and Sub-Zero appliances, a butler’s pantry, and a breakfast nook. A rear media room painted a rosy shade spills out to a patio with an outdoor kitchen and a garden beyond.
Outdoor spaces include three terraces, a roof deck, and a patio that extends to a lush garden.

Holding court on the second floor are two fireside living rooms, plus a wood-paneled dining room with a wet bar and French doors leading out to a black-and-white-tiled terrace with stairs to the garden below. Occupying the entire third level is a sprawling primary retreat sporting a fireplace, a private balcony, an expansive dressing room, and a marble-clad bath spotlighted by a freestanding soaking tub. Above that are two more bedrooms with their own walk-in closets and baths, plus another bedroom that currently serves as an office.
Rounding it all off is a sky-lit staircase that ascends to a rooftop deck equipped with a bar. There’s also a partially finished basement, which includes a laundry room, a game/wellness room, and storage space. Marketing materials rightly describe the pad as a “world-class experience and asset, where design-forward living meets effortless comfort.”
