The apartment is situated within a stately 1925 neo-Renaissance building designed by renowned architect Harvey Wiley Corbett. Known for its striking pre-war grandeur, the building is practically catnip for someone with a penchant for classic New York aesthetics, possessing architectural details that easily evoke the sophisticated, cigar-smoke-and-dirty-vodka-martini energy of its famous former resident. Noth initially purchased the unit back in 1994. At the time, he was primarily known for his celebrated theater work and his gritty, street-smart portrayal of Detective Mike Logan on the long-running television drama Law & Order.
As his career evolved, so did the cultural footprint of his immediate surroundings. In the years that followed his move-in, Noth found himself rubbing shoulders in the building with an elite roster of creative neighbors. Most notably, the building counted Sex and the City creator and the real-life inspiration behind Carrie Bradshaw, Candace Bushnell, among its residents. Other creative luminaries such as style icon Hamish Bowles, designer Jonathan Adler, and designer Simon Doonan also spent time within the building’s historic walls, cementing the address as a quiet enclave of New York cultural royalty.
Stepping inside Noth’s fourth-floor unit reveals a layout defined by traditional pre-war craftsmanship. An archway-lined foyer immediately draws visitors into a sunken living room, serving as the dramatic centerpiece of the home. This expansive space features dark-stained hardwood built-ins, a functional wood-burning fireplace, and a striking trio of arched leaded windows that filter in soft natural light while framing views of the quintessential Greenwich Village streetscape below. The built-in shelving units, which currently play host to an eclectic mix of art objects and decorative items, add a layer of intellectual warmth and storied character to the room.
Beyond the main living area, the floor plan shifts into more modest quarters. The bedroom is described as perfectly functional, albeit somewhat spartan in its presentation when compared to the heavily detailed and richly textured living room. It offers quiet, leafy window views and classic molding details that honor the building’s heritage. Meanwhile, the primary bathroom has been thoughtfully updated, receiving a spa-like treatment designed to offer a tranquil escape from the bustling city outside. The kitchen, interestingly enough, was omitted from the official public listing photographs, but a review of the accompanying floor plan reveals it to be a compact, windowed galley kitchen well-suited for efficient city living.
The decision to sell the Greenwich Village co-op comes at a quiet juncture in Noth’s professional and personal life. The actor has largely kept out of the intense public spotlight since late 2021, when The Hollywood Reporter published an investigative feature detailing allegations from two women who accused Noth of sexual assault, with one alleging an incident occurred inside this very Greenwich Village apartment in 2015. In the wake of the publication, the fallout was swift and severe: Noth was dropped from the season finale of HBO’s And Just Like That…—the revival series that brought Mr. Big briefly back to television before his character’s sudden and much-discussed demise—and was simultaneously fired from the CBS television drama The Equalizer, which he was filming at the time.
Throughout the controversy, Noth has repeatedly and vehemently denied the allegations against him. His denials included a widely discussed interview with USA Today in 2023, which formed part of an unconventional suit brand campaign for which he was compensated in clothing. More recently, Noth surfaced earlier this year on a podcast to speak candidly about the fallout from his personal life, specifically addressing the end of his long-standing friendships with Sarah Jessica Parker and other members of the core Sex and the City cast after they publicly expressed support for his accusers.
While listing agent Danny Davis of Corcoran has declined to comment on the motivations behind the current sale, and the exact reasons remain private, a look at Noth’s broader lifestyle and real estate footprint provides some context. The actor’s primary family residence appears to be situated on the West Coast in Sherman Oaks, where he lives with his wife, Tara Wilson. However, his real estate portfolio has historically been quite sprawling and diverse, featuring a two-bedroom, two-bathroom co-op on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, as well as an additional home tucked away in the Berkshires.
Recent personal milestones may also be playing a role in the timing of the listing. Noth recently shared updates on social media, including an Instagram post celebrating his older son, Orion, as the teenager prepared to head off to college. Noth and Wilson also share a younger son, six-year-old Keats. Whether the sale is simply an effort to streamline a portfolio of bicoastal and regional properties, or part of a broader financial realignment to manage the soaring costs of higher education for a growing family, the listing marks the definitive end of an era for the actor in downtown Manhattan.
For now, the keys to a storied piece of Greenwich Village real estate—and a physical piece of modern television history—are officially up for grabs, waiting for a new owner to write the next chapter within its arched, pre-war walls.
