The New York home of “Homeland” star Claire Danes has just sold for $9.9 million, above its initial asking price of $9.75 million.
Danes is best known for portraying a bipolar CIA operative, Carrie Mathison, in the Showtime series. The native New Yorker and her British actor husband, Hugh Dancy, initially listed their home in August for $9.75 million, according to The Wall Street Journal. However, the stylish 4.5-bathroom, 3,900-square-foot townhouse failed to sell and was taken off the market before being delisted and sold.

A Gut Renovation
Danes and Dancy purchased the home, built in the 1880s, in 2012 for $6.87 million. According to the New York Post, Joan Krevlin of BKSK Architects supervised the extensive renovation, which involved moving the kitchen and adding skylights. The remodel sees the home bathed in light with modern finishes, white oak flooring, and a rooftop outdoor kitchen. A finished basement includes a wine cellar.
The couple, who have three children, decided to sell to accommodate their growing family. They purchased the home when Danes, whose other work includes “My So-Called Life,” 1996’s “Romeo + Juliet” with Leonardo DiCaprio, and more recently “Fleishman Is In Trouble.”
Dancy has appeared in the TV series “Hannibal,” “Law and Order,” “Downton Abbey,” and “The Path.”

Danes And Dancy Have Enjoyed Long-running TV Shows
Danes’s tenure in “Homeland” coincided with the bulk of her time in her townhouse, taking up a decade of her life.
“It’s been 10 years of my life. It’s been eight seasons, but it’s been 10 years. And it’s been a formative 10 years, you know? I started the show as a barely-married person, and I’m leaving the show as a, you know, mother of two,” she told NPR’s Terry Gross in 2020.
Dancy, too, has benefited from being cast in long-running TV shows, most notably “Law and Order.”
“My wife did eight years on “Homeland,” he told Collider in 2023. “I’ve seen in her what it takes to get that far, but it was a very different show for her because of the development involved.”
