Dutch actor Michiel Huisman and his wife, Tara Elders, have listed their New York City loft for $3.25 million. The two-bedroom, two-bath corner co-op sits in the McIntyre Building at 874 Broadway, overlooking Union Square’s farmers market and offering distant views of downtown Manhattan, including the Woolworth Building.
The couple bought the unit in 2016 for $2.2 million and undertook renovations led by architect Elizabeth Roberts. The open-plan living area is anchored by seven oak-framed windows that flood the space with light and frame sweeping views of Union Square. The residence features 12-foot ceilings, built-in bookcases, and a mezzanine that can serve as sleeping quarters or additional living space. The kitchen centers a breakfast bar and anchors the public area, while the main bedroom includes an ensuite spa-like bath and a walk-in closet. The guest bath is finished with pink onyx marble, adding a touch of luxe to the home.
The McIntyre Building blends Romanesque, Gothic and Byzantine styling and dates to 1892, developed by Ewen McIntyre. The 23-unit co-op sits near the heart of Union Square, with a storied past that includes time as Cobra’s Lair in the 1970s and a location a short walk from Andy Warhol’s Factory. The property is listed as a two-bedroom, two-bath unit with a corner orientation that emphasizes light and views.
Photos accompanying the listing depict an airy, light-filled floor plan with large windows, a modern kitchen, and elegant finishes throughout. The building’s historic character contrasts with contemporary design touches inside the home, including custom millwork and built-in shelving that maximize space.
Pets are allowed in the building, a detail buyers often weigh in New York City lofts. The listing is handled by Elise Ehrlich and Chris Pomeroy of Brown Harris Stevens.
Michiel Huisman is best known internationally for his role as Daario Naharis on Game of Thrones, a character whose fearless presence and strong-welt stance became a fan favorite. In addition to his work on the HBO series, Huisman has appeared in Nashville, Treme and Orphan Black, among other projects. He and Elders share a daughter, and their NYC home purchase in 2016 reflected their desire for a light-filled space in a classic, culturally rich neighborhood.
The price tag places the loft among New York’s high-end listings for renovated, light-filled prewar space with open layouts and notable city views. The market for such properties continues to attract buyers who value a combination of architectural detail, proximity to cultural amenities, and a storied building history.
As the market for city lofts with this combination of light, space and historic context evolves, the Huisman-Elders listing offers a look at how European actors are choosing to invest in prime New York real estate. The McIntyre Building’s once-industrial heritage and its upper-floor views align with a broader trend of buyers seeking architectural character alongside modern living amenities, and the unit’s renovation preserves that balance while delivering contemporary comfort.
