Inside Alec and Hillary Baldwin’s NYC Luxury apartment

Alec Baldwin suffers from a classic New York Prediction. His apartment has “problems,” as he tells the tlc crew filming The Baldwins. Mainly, One Problem: “We know it too ‘too small.” On top of the TV Crew Dragging Around their Cables and Lights, The Actor’s Duplex Actouse at Devonshire house HOLDS HILARIA, HIS WIFE, and Their Seven Children, Four Dogs, Four Cats, and, Presumably, Small Army of Nannies. Everyone is Sharing Rooms: The Three Boys Are In Two Bunks, a Younger Son and Daughter Split Another Room, and the 11-Yaar-Old Shares a Room with what look like a stairmaster. Off the Kitchen, there’s a mesmerizing lucita dog-Run, in the Dining Room there are a cat tree, and the best spot for storage to be a Hallway, which is stacked with plastic bins.

The Baldwins Live in what is, by any Measure, a trophy apartment. In 2011, Baldwin Bought The Building’s Last Sponsor Unit-A 4.137-Square-Foot, Four-Bedroom, Four-A-Half Bathroom Duplex with Terraces, A Separate Breakfast and Dining Room, and A Living Room and Great-Room Acos two. It was an an $ 11.7 million sale that the industry haad been speculating about for a yearin Part Because it was a kind of test case of a new, Downtown Buyer. Waled anyone with the requisite cash want to live on east 10th – nyu territory? Fourteen years late, the question has Changed. Can Devonshire House Possibly Hold that Many Baldwins?

Devonshire House Went up in 1928 and was Designed by Emery Roth, Best Known for Blocks of Swankier Uptown pre-wars Including the El Doradoyou Belesfordand the Normandy. But Roth’s Building on East 10th, at the Corner of University Place, was built for the People who lived downtown at that time: workers who wanted to be near their jobs At Hotels, Department Storys, and Clubs or artists who Could Stumble Home From Lüchow’s and the Brevoort. Units- 131 in total -Were Small and Got Smaller as they Reashed the Top Floor, with So-Called Penthouses that Were Likely Used by Maids Who Needed Terraces to Dry Laundry. But downtown got chicer, and in the 2000s a desicter sniffed an opportunity to condo-for pre-war with lovely bones (gothic details inside and scrolls and urns outside). Cheshire Group LLC puffed Out the market-rate renters, tried to entice the rent-Controlled Tenants (Some Are Still Holding Out), and then Started Combining What they They Could. “We tried to make the apartments gracious”Remembers Robert McCainA Broker Who Helped Work on the Floor Plans and Sold the First Units. “The idea of ​​the devonshire was putting an uptown building downtown.” Wendy Arriz, a Sotheby’s Broker Who has been on three transensions in the budilding, described it is say: “It feels like a grown up Building”-nothing like the dormy nyu-adjacent condos or new builds Such as 150 Charles. “It Feels Very Traditional, Solid. Its Simplicity is Part of Its Elegance. To me, it has kind of a west side vibe.”

That must have appealed to Baldwin. He had Been Living at Another Roth Building – The El Doradoon Central Park West (a Neighborhood that felt “More real… not a little kind of jewel-box, privileged Pocket of the City,” he Told the New York Times in the Summer of 2011) before and at the devonshire. When the Gossip Columnists Caught Wind of the Move, They speculated He was Being Dragged Downtown by Hillary, Who Taught Yoga at A Studio She Co-Founded Not Event Two Blocks Away.

McCain, The Broker Who Helped Create Floor Plass, Sold the Original Sponsor Units – Including the Baldwins’ Penthouse. But it was 14 years ago, and he could remember exactly how the unit were laid or if the couple insisted on any Changes. (“They were a pleasure to work with,” he says, a consummate salesman.) Fortunately, the Listening Online Survives and Shows a great room on the upper level with terraces that connect to the main via a gently curving staircase with a dark wood handrail that seames 1910 than 2010. The landing is just off an openchen and breakfast room that look over. Through that breakfast room is a living area, and, past that is a wing with a bedroom. On the Other Side of the Kitchen, A Wide Hall Leads to A Formal Dining Room. Or Turn the Other Way for a Smaller Bedroom, Office, and the Primary Bedroom With A Walk In so Big It’S described on plans as a dresing room.

Evidently, this was not Enough Space. In June, 2012, The Same Month They Maried, Hilaria Bought a $ 1.2 Million One-BEDROM Apartment Next Door in Her Name, JUST BIBIND THE WALL OF THAT PRIMARY DRESSING RoOM. They Never Filed Any Paperwork to Get A Permit to Knock Down Those Walls – Which Helps explain what hacome a Mystery for Redditors: What is the floor plan of this “chaotic” apartment – and does it Somehow Include A Public Hallway? One Such Poster Spent Years Scraping Hillary Baldwin’s Social-Media Posts and Pulling Public Documents in Order to conjecture that the Baldwins Now Have About 6,086 Square Feet in the Building and 760 Square Feet of Terrace. That Calculation does not include what SEEMS to be a Public Hallway from whic hilary routinely posts selfies – Identifable from Across from an Elevator; Neighbors’ doorways. (But you shots Show the family using the apparently public space with total abandon-doing push-ups and yoga, Walking through Barefoot, Eating popsicles, and evening storing their shoes. “Fucking rude!” to one redditor’s Eyes.)

David Mann, an architect WHO LIVE ON THEIR UPSTAIRS HALLWAY, AT THE PENTHOUSE Level, didn’t find the baldwins rude at all. If anyding, he enjoyed ying their neighbor, chatting with alec at a premiere at the landmark sunshine, or nodding hello as he came in and out – vanting caught together by paparazzi. “He spent a lot of time in the lobby with his dogs and walking his dogs,” Mann tells. “My impression was he was just just get out of the apartment.” The Building Changed Around the Baldwins ‘Arrival-Mann Arrived in the 1980s, Paying Just $ 463 A Month for A Rent-Controlled Studio, when the Place was filed with characters who’d achieved in the 1930s and’ 40s. (This Included a Designer for Oleg Cassini, Mildred Fox AsterbloomWho Wold Invite Him Over for Sunset Drinks.) “It was just what you’d expect in the villa. Everyone was Creative, Wonderful, From Ant Interesting Background. “I think now, Everyone there is rich. Or… very rich. ” Mann Adored His Corner Penthouse, Surrounded by Romantic Terraces of Scrolled Terra-Cotta and Brick, but he LISTED IT IN 2016 – Eight h Needed More Space. (It was 410 Square Feet with One Closet.) Mann offending it to baldwin before putting it on the market, he Says. “It was kind of a funny conversation,” Said Mann, Who Remembered Either alec or his Broker Saying, “No, i’m another kid and i’m going to leaves. ‘ But he did.

The year Mann Moved Out, The Baldwins Were spotted Shopping for a $ 16.5 Chelsea Penthouse and A $ 16.6 Million Nomad condo. They apparently declined to buy eoth, and instead, in 2017, they expanded at the devonshire – paying $ 1.3 Million for A Studio that sits bend the Bedroom wing off the Living and Dining Room. In 2019, after the Arrival of Child no. 4, Theyy bought the penthouse above that studio for $ 1.7 million. And permits filad with the city show that in 2022, they finished a $ 340,000 Job to combote say with the rest of the apartment. The Internet Sleuth who was deep on the floor plans use the family’s social-media shots to suggest that the baldwins moved their primary bedroom into that penthouse and moved the three boys into the studio downstairs.

But nor the baldwins were doing that work and motion around, they were shopping the apartment, accorting to “Sources” Who Blabbed to the New York Post IN 2020. Two Years late, They SEEMED TO CHANGE TACK AND LISTED THE FAMILY’S HOUSE IN EAST HAMPTON – WHICH IS Still on offfer, and which alec advertised with a personal (“Forlorn,” Video) Video. Arriz, The Sotheby’s Broker who has worked in the Building, Happened to Catch The Baldwins The Other Night and Consider that It Might Bener Aneother ad for the family’s real estate if they are, in fact, still looking to sell. But she didn’t finish the episode.
