Alec and Hilaria Baldwin scope out $16.5M Chelsea penthouse for growing family

It’s safe to say at this point that Alec Baldwin’s infamous New York Magazine tirade about leaving the public eye of New York was not literal, as two and half years later the actor and his wife Hilaria haven’t budged. In fact, the couple, currently expecting their third child together, was seen checking out a $16.5 million Chelsea penthouse, according to the Post.

The 5,000-square-foot apartment is located at the top of one of the London Terrace Towers towers and is being sold as an approved combination of two existing units. It’s said to be currently owned by “Sopranos” creator David Chase. But Baldwin hasn’t eased up on privacy concerns. Baldwin hasn’t eased up on privacy concerns, however. Sources say he’s visited the apartment three times and “has been hanging out in the lobby asking residents about the building and what it’s like to be there.”

Enter the bright space through a gallery with attractive lacquered walls. This leads to the main living space that has a wood-burning fireplace, 10-foot ceilings, wide-plank chevron white oak floors, huge steel casement windows, and French Doors that lead to the 2,200 square feet of wrap-around terrace space, offering views of the High Line, Hudson River, and Empire State Building.

The chef’s kitchen has an eat-in dining area with another fireplace, a center island, custom cabinetry, quartz counters, and more access to the terrace. Off the kitchen is a large pantry and a laundry room.

The master boasts six closets and a spa-like bath with a soaking tub, double sink vanity, and marble floors.

There are four additional bedrooms, and all have access to the terrace.

Baldwin owns a $12 million penthouse in the Devonshire House in Greenwich Village, but it only has three bedrooms. He also owns the unit next door, and as 6sqft reported, sold another one-bedroom in the building last September for $2.1 million.
