The Italian-style house spans 5,000 square feet and has three bedrooms. Not only that, but one of the most special qualities of this property is that it has 12-foot ceilings for optimal spacing. The house was built in 1852 and De Niro sold it in 2012 for $9.5 million.

De Niro is a true New Yorker who has invested in businesses across the state. It also includes the Greenwich Hotel, which the famous actor co-owns with Ira Drukier. As a result of his ownership, De Niro owns a penthouse at the top of the hotel building. Inspired by the Japanese concept of wabi-sabi, the actor hired Belgian designer Axel Vervoordt and Japanese architect Tatsuro Miki in 2014 to renovate and build the penthouse to embody the feeling of finding beauty in imperfection.In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the actor said Tribeca has its own vibe and feel. Axel wanted to respect this and incorporate elements of the city. It’s not just interior design: it’s art. “The industrial treatment on top is in perfect harmony with the architecture below,” Vervoordt added in an interview with Architectural Digest. “The 6,800-square-foot unit was decorated and transformed from top to bottom using wood, stone, and other similar elements.” Neutral tones and colors were used throughout the house to ensure it complemented the theme and overall vibe. While De Niro owns part of the property, tenants are also free to reserve units with three bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms.
