Actor Hilary Swank’s Former Greenwich Village Townhouse Hits the Market at $11M
Set on a historic tree-lined street, the swanky abode boasts a master suite that takes up an entire floor.
The four-story townhouse Hilary Swank once owned with her then-husband, Chad Lowe, has found itself back on the market. In 2002, the Award Award–winning actor acquired the West Village brownstone for $3,900,000, and sold it five years later for $8,250,000, shortly after the couple split.
Upon arrival, double entry doors lead into the sun-bathed parlor floor, which is graced by 11' ceilings. Anchored by an original fireplace, the formal living room is dressed in a neutral color palette, complemented by richly textured hardwoods.

According to city records, the current owner, Tractor Supply CEO Hal Lawton, purchased the home in 2017 for $10,500,000, and is now also looking to cut ties with the dwelling—this time seeking $10,995,000.
Beyond the living room is an inviting library. Tasteful built-ins flank the gas fireplace, while a long, plush sofa provides ample seating for gathering.
