‘Kandahar’ star Gerard Butler eyeing a $4.99M NYC penthouse
Gerard Butler, the famous Scottish-born actor and film producer, is reportedly searching for a new residence in New York City. With an impressive list of blockbuster movies under his belt, Butler has earned himself a reputation in modern action-hero “dad movies.” According to media sources, the actor has been touring properties in recent months, with one rumored to be the magical Gramercy Park duplex penthouse. The cozy two-bedroom, one-bath co-op is located along 105 E. 16th St and is currently on the market for $4.99 million. Butler’s eye for unique properties precedes him, with his Chelsea duplex, located at 139 W. 19th St, once gracing the cover of Architectural Digest and asking for $6 million in 2017. Butler still owns this property, raising speculation on whether the actor is house hunting for himself or his girlfriend.
The on-the-market Gramercy Park penthouse is owned by Mark Lee, former CEO of Barneys New York and head of Gucci, who purchased the property for $4 million in 2018. This prime real estate features a main living space with a bedroom and a full bath, along with a rare “freestanding cottage,” surrounded by gardens and terraces on the roof. The property comes with outstanding outdoor space, which offers sunset views, landscaped gardens, and a banquette dining area with a TV.

Gerard Butler, who starred in ‘Kandahar’, considering purchasing a penthouse in NYC worth $4.99M.
Gerard Butler, the Scottish actor and film producer known for his roles in modern action-hero “dad movies,” is reportedly searching for a new residence. While currently filming in “Kandahar,” Butler has been seen recently touring properties such as a cozy two-bedroom co-op at 105 E. 16th St, a magical Gramercy Park duplex penthouse that is currently priced at $4.99 million, less than its $5.75 million asking price from last year. Butler is known to have an eye for special properties, and his previous Chelsea duplex was once featured on the cover of Architectural Digest. It is unclear if he is house-hunting for himself or his girlfriend, as the couple has toured properties together, according to sources.
The Gramercy Park penthouse is being sold by Mark Lee, the former CEO of Barneys New York and head of Gucci, who purchased it for $4 million in 2018. The home boasts a main living space with a built-in bedroom and a full bath, as well as a rare freestanding cottage surrounded by gardens and terraces on the roof. The home is fit for a celebrity and has ample outdoor space for lounging, a wood-burning fireplace, 14 casement windows, beamed ceilings, and salvaged wide-plank oak floors.
In addition, the new owner can enjoy sunset views from the outdoor areas, which include a chef’s kitchen with views of the cottage and an outside banquette dining area with a TV. The cottage currently serves as a guesthouse/writer’s studio, with 10-foot peaked ceilings, a picture window, built-in storage and shelving, and sunset views. The rooftop garden, by landscaper Harrison Green, is irrigated and includes lighting and sound systems, along with mature trees, rosemary, lavender, and hydrangeas.
“I wanted a refuge in the heart of downtown and was attracted by the extraordinary outdoor private space spread on two levels,” said Lee. “It should pass on to someone who can appreciate and enjoy it.” The listing broker is Mary Ellen Cashman, of Compass.
