Born-and-raised New Yorker Claire Danes may be considered a Hollywood
star, but she chooses to live in her childhood neighborhood of SoHo
rather than Los Angeles.
Danes got her big start on the mid-90s television show "My So-Called
Life" with a role she earned an Emmy nomination and won the Golden Globe
award. She moved on to film, nabbing the role of Juliet in "Romeo +
Juliet," opposite Leonardo DiCaprio. Currently, she's back in
television, starring in Showtime's "Homeland," in a role for which she
received the 2012 Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Television Series.
Danes' SoHo condo
is in an 1882 building, marked by exterior columns and exposed wood
beams and sits on a quieter, cobblestone street. Inside, Danes'
4,000-square-foot loft-like apartment has high ceilings, 16 windows,
exposed brick and hardwood floors. The 3-bed, 3-bath home also includes a
wood-burning fireplace and direct elevator access.
The listing is held by Elaine Schweninger of Town Real Estate.
According to Zillow's mortgage calculator, a monthly payment on the home would be $21,821, assuming a 20 percent down payment on a 30-year-mortgage.
