Scott Rudin Sells His Manhattan Townhouse: A New Buyer Found

Award-winning producer Scott Rudin has found a buyer for his Manhattan townhouse.

He had been trying to sell the West Village home since March 2023, when he listed it for $26 million, according to the listing history. After a few price cuts, the home was most recently asking $19.75 million when it went into contract on Friday.

Rudin, 66, is one of 21 EGOT winners, those who have won an Emmy, a Grammy, and Oscar and Tony. He’s known for producing films including Oscar-winning “No Country for Old Men” and “The Social Network” and for Broadway shows like the 2017 revival of “Hello, Dolly!” and “The Book of Mormon,” both of which won Rudin a Tony award.

Rudin has also gained notoriety in recent years for alleged abusive behavior toward employees, The Hollywood Reporter reported in 2021. Since then, he’s taken a “step back” from both Broadway and the film industry.

He and his husband, John Barlow, bought the West Village home for $17.425 million in 2019 from former Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter, property records show. The couple made the purchase through a limited liability company.

Located on Bank Street, the Greek Revival-style home was built around 1844, according to the listing with Deborah Grubman of the Corcoran Group. She declined to comment.

The four-story home spans an approximate 4,000 square feet, with four bedrooms, four bathrooms and two half-bathrooms. The primary suite occupies the entire top floor, with a bathroom with a skylight and a rear-facing terrace off the large dressing room, floor plans show.

One of the third-floor bedrooms also has a terrace, and an elevator accesses all four of the main living levels, not including the cellar, which houses the laundry room, an exercise room and storage space.

Off the kitchen is a 32 feet-deep garden with artificial turf and planted bamboo.

The home was also being marketed with the neighboring townhouse, as a chance to combine the two. The neighboring home is still for sale, asking $10 million after a total of $5 million in price cuts.
