On top of her starring role in the hit Netflix series “House of Cards,” actress Robin Wright might soon be able to add another impressive title to her list: real estate mogul. She recently purchased a five-room penthouse at 171 West 12th Street. Today’s City records show that Wright has paid $3.025 million for a newly renovated apartment in a classic prewar building in the heart of the West Village. The listing records show that the co-op was last priced at $2.495 million in March, considerably lower than the closing price. So, is this penthouse worth the premium price? You be the judge. The listing says the home has been renovated from floor to ceiling but still has a lot of its prewar charm. The place has excellent features, including 11-foot ceilings, French doors, casement windows, a wood-burning fireplace, and a large living and dining room. Oak flooring and trim throughout the apartment give the space a touch of elegance and warmth.
Thanks to an oversized window, the kitchen is bright and has lots of storage space. It also has a Viking stove, Gaggeneau and Sub-Zero appliances, Lefroy Brooks fixtures, and Carrera marble countertops.
The home’s two bedrooms feature spacious California closets and ample natural light. The main suite faces north, while the secondary bedroom looks south.
As a penthouse, the home also has excellent views of the leafy neighborhood and the cityscape, including the Empire State Building.
