‘Game of Thrones’ Actor Michiel Huisman Is Selling His N.Y.C. Loft for $3.3 Million
In the game of New York City real estate, Michiel Huisman scored himself a real winner.
The Game of Thrones actor is parting ways with his Flatiron co-op for $3.3 million, and along with its ties to one of the most popular TV programs of all time, the two-bedroom, two-bath unit was once the site of the legendary 1970s after-hours club Cobra's Lair that, being just a block away from Andy Warhol's Factory, attracted an arty downtown crowd. Elise Ehrlich and Chris Pomeroy at Brown Harris Stevens hold the listing .

The high-contrast marble counter and backsplash make a bold statement in the kitchen.
Along with portraying Daario Naharis on Game of Thrones , Housman is also well known for his work in Dutch TV shows and films. Records show that he snapped up the Flatiron spread in 2016 for $2.2 million, and he later undertook a renovation with the architect Elizabeth Roberts to turn the loft into a much more contemporary and light-filled space. Rather than an over-fussed set piece, Huisman's loft leans toward the relaxed feeling of a casual home, blending modern design elements with original details like the seven oak-framed windows that look out on the nearby Union Square Park.
A huge door at the far end of the living room pivots open to the primary bedroom. The accompanying bathroom is decked out with a Zucchetti soaking tub and funky black-and-white-tiled walls. A walk-in closet completes the suite. Just inside the front door, a mezzanine space has been turned into a guest bedroom, although it could also serve as an office or creative retreat. Underneath is a ton of storage space along with some of the mechanical systems. The serene guest bath, meanwhile, sports a walk-in shower and a light-pink onyx marble wall and sink.
The oak-framed sash windows are original to the space.
The open living area, lined with built-in cabinetry, stretches to 37 feet long and is topped by a 12-foot ceiling, making the magnanimous amount of square footage feel even more expansive. The Calacatta Viola marble counters and backsplash make an eye-catching statement in the otherwise minimalist kitchen, which is outfitted with a PITT Cooking stove and a Blue Star oven.
Situated in the neo-Gothic McIntyre Building, the co-op is a relative steal in the Flatiron neighborhood, home to several massive penthouses that command hefty price tags. Last year, for example, a seven-bedroom triplex hit the market for $30 million, and a few months later, a nearby penthouse listed for $25 million, with all the proceeds going toward philanthropic efforts in Africa.
