Robert De Niro and 14 Saint Luke’s Place

Actor and real estate investor Robert De Niro is looking to unload the 19th century townhouse at 14 Saint Luke’s Place that he’s owned for the past three decades.

The five-story, 22-foot-wide property, which was home to poet Marianne Moore during the 1920s, is on one of the West Village’s most storied and coveted blocks, between Hudson Street and Seventh Avenue.

On the southern side of the street is James J. Walker Park, incidentally the setting for the “Raging Bull” scene where De Niro’s character, Jake LaMotta, first speaks to his future wife, played by Cathy Moriarty. Opposite the park is a line of townhouses that have housed a series of famous figures: former New York City Mayor Jimmy Walker, painters Paul Cadmus and Jared French and journalist Linda Ellerbee, among them.

According to the Post, actress Jessica Alba checked out a few
penthouses in the Fairchild, a 21-unit condominium on Vestry Street in
Tribeca, which recently partnered with Robert DeNiro’s Greenwich Hotel to use its amenities. The homes Alba and her family looked at had price tags of between $6
million and $9 million, and came with private balconies, terraces and
river views. Model Adriana Lima and her husband also recently looked at
a few penthouses in the Fairchild, where actor James Gandolfini already
bought a unit. The building is expected to be completed by the end of
the summer. [more]
