Academy Award-nominated actor Mickey Rourke has traded a $19,800-a-month loft in the Meatpacking District for two floors in a West Village townhouse that were asking significantly less, according to TMZ. The “Wrestler” star’s new pad, which appears to be the garden duplex at 50 Morton Street, was last listed for $13,500 per month by Sotheby’s International Realty broker Jane Forman, according to Streeteasy.com. It has three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a patio and a wood-burning fireplace. According to city records, the townhouse once belonged to the late Elsie Cardia, who owned the Beatrice Inn for 50 years. Last year, The Real Deal reported that Rourke was scoping out for-sale units in the storied Apthorp condominium conversion on the Upper West Side in the $3 million and $4 million range. [TMZ]
