The Music Man is making moves: Actor Hugh Jackman has listed his longtime West Village apartment for approx. $54.7 million. The Australian-born “X-Men” and “Les Miserables” actor, 53, and wife Deborra-Lee Furness, 66, purchased the five-bedroom triplex for $29.5 million in 2008, according to records.
“They’ve been there for over 14 years, and they love the apartment and the building, but felt at this point they needed something new,” said Corcoran’s Deborah Grubman, who is representing the listing along with David Adler and Paul Albano, also of Corcoran. “They’re committed New Yorkers, and they will not just be staying in New York City, but will be staying in the immediate area.” (Mr. Jackman is currently starring alongside Sutton Foster in a Broadway revival of “The Music Man.”)
Located in boutique condo building Meier South Tower, the 11,000-square-foot home occupies the eighth, ninth and 10th floors of the building, and is the only individual apartment to have also been designed by the building’s architect, Richard Meier, Ms. Grubman told Mansion Global.
The apartment is designed with wall-to-wall and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the Hudson River, with views maximized by an enormous double-height great room, per listing photos.
“The apartment obviously has huge square footage, but also a huge volume of space because you have the double height living room,” Ms. Grubman said. “When you walk into that entertainment floor, it’s just a wow, with floor-to-ceiling glass. Having the [unit] facing west means those views are of the Statue of Liberty, the boats, remarkable sunsets.
“It’s really kind of a postcard for New York,” Ms. Grubman added.
Four bedrooms with en-suite baths are located on the eighth floor along with a recreation room, a library/guest bedroom, and a terrace overlooking the Hudson River, according to the listing. The great room, which includes a fireplace and space for a large dining area, is located on the ninth floor, as is a home office area and a professional gourmet kitchen with marble counters, breakfast bar seating and wall-to-wall views.
The 10th floor is configured as a primary bedroom suite, which includes a studio or exercise area, as well as a bathroom with dual sinks and a soaking tub with views of the river. The home centers around a sleek white spiral staircase that connects each floor.
Amenities in the building include a fitness centre, full-time doorman and concierge, as well as Jean-George Vongerichten’s Perry Street Restaurant.
“It’s a boutique building, not too big, very congenial and quite intimate,” Ms. Grubman said. “It’s incredibly well-staffed and well run. [Mr. Jackman and Ms. Furness] have absolutely loved and enjoyed the apartment, and raised two children here.”
The listing came on the market on Monday, according to records. Mr. Jackman was not immediately available for comment.

Just 55 minutes from Sydney, make this your creative getaway located in the majestic Hawkesbury region.
Spring Hill Enviro-Cottage is the ultimate fairytale of old meets new, an architectural marriage of two distinctly different eras that seamlessly come together in 21st-century Brisbane.
The Isaac Street home is one of Spring Hill’s original workers’ cottages that in 2010 was expertly transformed into a uniquely sustainable home with all the modern-day must-haves and plenty of boxes ticked on the wish list too.
While preserving the classic Queenslander, the 286sqm property has been reimagined to deliver an innovative and eco-friendly address.
Kitchen joinery has been crafted from reclaimed timber, there is environmentally friendly paint, a suite of energy efficient appliances, solar power, underground water storage, and an Eco Plunge Pool.
Although the charming period facade remains, the rear of the house has an ultra contemporary backdrop of patterned Corten steel privacy screens that minimise heat and create dappled light across the interior spaces. At night, the unique partition’s geometric laser-cut design provides a star-like feature in the main bedroom suite.
The considered passive design principles extend to the strategically located louvres, doors and windows that draw in cooling breezes, while a vast skylight over the dining area and kitchen allows for plenty of natural light in winter. Burnished concrete floors keep the ground cool and grand walls of glass peel back to reveal a seamless flow to the outdoors with a grassed and landscaped private courtyard.
Although the ground floor has been designed for everyday living and entertaining, the multi-purpose front room with ensuite is an ideal guest retreat or even a perfect ‘work from home’ space complete with a separate entry via the front patio.
Upstairs, a mezzanine lounge provides another breakout area for families, and the two first floor bedrooms open out to the traditional full-width balcony overlooking the street. These bedrooms have built-in wardrobes and desks with a shared family-friendly bathroom.
At the rear of the footprint, a freestanding two-storey pavilion features yet another living space next to the pool with an integrated bar. Above the space the top floor main bedroom has an ensuite and walk-through wardrobe.
A long list of bonus features include ceiling fans in all bedrooms and living areas, a thermostat-controlled whirlybird to extract excess heat, a 5kW solar system with a SMA Sunny Boy inverter, a 20,000L rainwater tank, a filtering and UV disinfection system and a solar hot water system with 450L storage tank.
Although there is a lock up garage, this city-fringe home is within walking distance of Roma Street Parkland, Roma Street Station and Victoria Park. Brisbane Central State School is also only two streets away.
In keeping with Queensland consumer law, properties going under the hammer cannot carry advertised price guides.
This Brisbane home at 32 Isaac St, Spring Hill is on the market with Ray White New Farm with an auction date set for November 30. For details contact agent Samuel Angus on 0411 044 949.
