‘Your Friends & Neighborsโ€™ star lists charming NYC apartment

After four years in their Gramercy Park โ€œoasis,โ€ actor Elan Zafir and his family are saying goodbye to their NYC sanctuary, listing a character-filled co-op with history, light, and charm for US$800K (A$1.2M).

Actor Elan Zafir, currently starring alongside Jon Hamm in the Apple TV+ series Your Friends & Neighbors, has listed his beloved Gramercy Park apartment for US$800,000 (approximately A$1.2 million).

Located in the Beaux-Arts co-op โ€œMon Bijouโ€ at 210 E. 17th Street, the sun-drenched 1,000-square-foot home features two bedrooms, a full-size kitchen, and views of the moss-covered St. Georgeโ€™s Church through oversized south and east facing windows.

French doors lead to a tranquil primary bedroom, and the buildingโ€™s owner-occupier community provides the kind of security where โ€œmy kid can run downstairs to let her friend in,โ€ Elan told the NY Post.

Elan and his wife Lindsay moved into the apartment during the height of the pandemic, when he says most New Yorkers were fleeing the city.

โ€œItโ€™s like an oasis when you get in there. Itโ€™s shockingly quiet,โ€ he said.

But the couple is relocating to Morningside Heights for more space and proximity to schools and work.

Despite the move, the actor admits the departure is bittersweet: โ€œLife became a lot easier actuallyโ€ฆ weโ€™re not looking forward to leave, to be honest.โ€

The property is listed with Michelle Griffith of Douglas Elliman.
