A West Village townhouse once owned by Emmy- and Tony-winning actor and producer Ellen Barkin has hit the market for $23 million.
Owned by the actress for nearly two decades, the whimsical, art-filled Greek Revival residence in Greenwich Village comes with an addition designed by architect I.M. Pei.
The episode moves to Greenwich Village and into the layered, lively interior world of designer Sara Simon’s home, affectionately known as dasCasa. Originally built in 1848, the townhouse was once owned by Ellen Barkin. Today, it stands as a deeply personal expression of Simon’s eclectic design sensibility. The home is not simply decorated; it is curated, with every room revealing a unique blend of color, texture, and narrative. The entry is warm and filled with pattern. The living room pairs bold wallpaper with moody tones and vintage lighting. Throughout the house, Simon blends the patina of old pieces with new design elements, creating a layered aesthetic that embraces memory and reinvention. Whether it’s the unexpected texture of a wall, mirrored surface catching daylight, or velvet banquette in a dining nook, the home is full of whimsical surprises.
