Uma Thurman’s former Manhattan home is back on the market, listing on Thursday for $8.95 million.
The two-floor Gramercy Park apartment, which comes with a coveted key to the private green space, is made up of two separate units that the “Pulp Fiction” and “Kill Bill” actress combined.
Thurman bought the larger of the two units, a duplex on the eighth and ninth floors, in 2006 for $2.65 million, records show, following her divorce from Ethan Hawke the year before. At the time of their divorce, the former couple had owned a different duplex in the same Lexington Avenue building.
In 2012, Thurman bought a neighboring single-floor unit on the eighth floor for $1.55 million and combined it with the duplex, which she had thoroughly renovated over nearly five years, the New York Times previously reported. She sold the apartment in 2016 for $6.6 million.
Thurman is currently starring in “Dexter: Resurrection.” Meanwhile, her daughter Maya Hawke, who spent her childhood in New York, has found her own on-screen success with the Netflix hit series “Stranger Things” and “Inside Out 2,” and is set to star in “The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping,” which will be released later this year.
The perk of getting a key to the park was “very appealing to the current owners, who were engaged in Gramercy Park and had been looking for the right apartment. When this came up, they jumped on it,” said Chris Kann of Corcoran, who shares the listing with his colleague Jennifer Ireland.
The sellers, who couldn’t be reached for comment, made some infrastructure upgrades to the apartment, replacing the windows and the air conditioning.
The apartment, which is in a building that dates to 1910 and mostly consists of duplexes, is much larger than the typical downtown prewar unit, Kann said.
“Typically, you would have found these [larger apartments] uptown, on the Upper East Side,” he said. “The entry has a beautiful staircase, it has a real formal dining room and a real corner living room with a wood-burning fireplace…It feels like you almost have a townhouse.”
Ten-foot ceilings also add to the apartment’s grand volume, and the apartment is one of just a few in the building with a terrace.
There are five bedrooms, with the upstairs primary suite featuring a hammam-like shower that includes a separate soaking tub.
The portion of the apartment that was added by Thurman still has its own entrance, allowing the flexible space—which currently houses a bedroom, a library and a media room/bedroom—to easily serve as a separate private area, like an in-law suite.
