Celebrity Homes: Harry Potter’s luxurious Manhattan digs
Posted by Annalisa Burgos | July 16, 2009
It’s safe to say real life Harry Potter — actor Daniel Radcliffe — can comfortably continue to pay the mortgage on his posh Manhattan apartment.
“Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince,” the sixth installment of the popular franchise, raked in more than $58 million on opening day alone (notably fueled by hard-core fans who came dressed in costume for a midnight showing). And millions more are expected to see the film this weekend.
The actor, who turns 20 next week, owns a 2,450-square-foot penthouse at 1 Morton Square in the Far West Village, facing the Hudson River.
He paid $4.9 million for it in February 2008, but it’s likely to be worth less than that today, with average home prices in NYC down more than 20 percent.
But when you’re Harry, who cares?
Radcliffe’s corner three-bedroom apartment is all luxury, with amazing views of New York Harbor, marble and granite surfaces and a 500-bottle wine cellar.
Don’t judge Radcliffe’s style based on these photos — they’re from the original listing. I’m pretty sure Radcliffe changed the decor when he moved in. I would have.
