Talk about stunning!
New York City brownstones and townhomes are in a class by themselves, simply because there are far fewer of them around, compared to apartments.
So when a property like this one, which is owned by the “X-Men” actress Rebecca Romijn, hits the market (even just to rent), it grabs some attention. Just be prepared to pay dearly: The elegant abode in Manhattan’s trendy Chelsea neighborhood is listed for $17,500 a month.
With historic bones and a modern gut renovation, this gorgeous four-bedroom, three-bath home is truly one of a kind. Romijn’s eclectic remodel was featured in Architectural Digest in 2020.

Built in 1899, the property has romantic Victorian vibes, but every updated amenity is also in place. During the remodel, many original details in the 2,450-square-foot space were salvaged—including some of the original floors, decorative fireplaces, molding, and exposed brick.
The main living area boasts two fireplaces, and the dining room offers French doors that lead to a pretty outdoor space with a planted garden, apple trees, and its own irrigation system.
The primary bedroom fills the top floor and has another fireplace, a big closet, guest room, and a bathroom with a skylight.
The kitchen is beautifully outfitted with stainless steel appliances and stone counters, while the dining room has a stone bar sink and its own fridge and freezer combination. New windows, roof, mechanicals, central AC, and an intercom and alarm system are among the updates.
But one of the best features of Romijn’s amazing home is its location. Chelsea is teeming with cute shops, art galleries, and restaurants. Plus, residents enjoy quick access to Chelsea Piers—for sports galore—and the High Line park, which is a dream for walking and birding.
