Hilary Swank’s former West Village townhouse has found a buyer and it happens to be another influential person. Retail giant Harry A. Lawton III, Macy’s new president as of September, purchased the 33 Charles Street home for $10.5 million last Friday.The Academy Award-winning actress and her director ex-husband, Chad Lowe, sold the three-story stunner for $7 million in 2007 to Books-A-Million owners Clyde and Summer Anderson, who were the sellers on this deal. Originally listed for $11.995 million back in June, the charming home closed for less than the asking price but nabbed a buyer quickly.Built in 1899, the four-story home offers modern furnishings and luxuries while still maintaining it’s historical prestige with original woodwork and gas fireplaces. The spread’s 3,736-square-feet of living space holds 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms as well as a library, a home office, and many elegant seating areas. A fully upgraded kitchen boasts limestone floors and appliances from Wolf, SubZero, and Bosch. Floor-to-ceiling Hope steel and glass doors lead to the lush backyard and allow sunlight to pour in on multiple floors.While the West Village is full of special properties, this real estate gem has extra allure because it is an official New York City landmark. Robby Browne, Chris Kann, and Jennifer Ireland Kubis of Corcoran had the luxury listing. Mansion Global first reported the story.
