Some Manhattan townhouses are impressive.
Others have their own IMDb résumé.
A rare six-story, 25-foot-wide elevator townhouse in Midtown West — famously featured in Netflix’s romantic comedy Uncoupled starring Neil Patrick Harris — has just hit the market for $11.75 million. Located at 416 West 51st Street, the 7,000-square-foot residence is listed with Clara Chung of Douglas Elliman and delivers true single-family scale in the heart of Manhattan.
Beyond its screen credits, the home offers soaring ceilings, dramatic glass walls, a landscaped garden, a rooftop terrace with a gas fireplace, and smart-home systems built for serious city living.
A rare 25-foot-wide townhouse spanning six full stories
At 25 feet wide and rising six stories, this townhouse is significantly broader than the typical Manhattan brownstone.
The home totals approximately 7,000 square feet and includes five oversized bedrooms, five full bathrooms, three powder rooms, and a private elevator serving all levels.
It’s a true vertical mansion — with the proportions of a suburban estate stacked into a Midtown footprint.
A parlor level anchored by 22-foot ceilings and a glass wall
The main living level makes an immediate statement.
A grand living room with soaring 22-foot ceilings is framed by a floor-to-ceiling glass wall that opens directly to a garden-facing balcony. The scale feels closer to a loft than a townhouse, while a wood-burning fireplace anchors the space and adds warmth.
This dramatic room is one of the home’s most recognizable filming locations. And it’s easy to see why.
A chef’s kitchen built around high-end appliances
Adjacent to the main living area sits a fully outfitted chef’s kitchen designed for both everyday cooking and large-scale entertaining.
The space is equipped with a Sub-Zero refrigerator, a Bertazzoni oven and microwave, a Prizer range and hood, and a Miele dishwasher.
With a modern, contemporary look
The layout balances function with clean, upscale design — exactly what you’d expect in a townhouse that regularly appears on screen.
A garden level designed for entertaining
The garden floor is essentially its own entertainment zone.
It features a custom recreation room with a full wet bar complete with a beer tap, mini fridge, microwave, and dishwasher, creating a space built for hosting everything from cocktail parties to casual game nights.
Featuring a fireplace and easy access to the garden
Glass doors open directly onto a private landscaped garden, offering true indoor-outdoor flow rarely found in Midtown.
A penthouse-level primary suite with rooftop terrace
The home saves one of its biggest moments for the very top.
The penthouse-level primary suite spans the width of the townhouse and includes soaring ceilings, a private balcony, a spa-style bathroom, and an enormous walk-in closet.
Just beyond the suite sits a rooftop terrace with a wet bar and gas fireplace, turning the top floor into a private urban retreat ideal for evening entertaining or quiet mornings above the city.
Four additional full-width bedroom suites
Each of the remaining four secondary bedrooms stretches across the full width of the townhouse — a luxury rarely seen in New York layouts.
Every bedroom includes its own ensuite bathroom, a walk-in closet, and generous proportions. No one gets the “small room” here.
Bespoke design details throughout the home
Across all six levels, the townhouse showcases carefully curated craftsmanship.
Design highlights include reclaimed wood accents, a sculptural steel-and-glass staircase, custom millwork, and cove-lit coffered ceilings.
The aesthetic balances modern luxury with architectural character, making the home visually striking without feeling overdesigned.
Smart home systems and commercial-grade infrastructure
Behind the scenes, the townhouse is outfitted with serious technology.
The home features Control4 automation for lighting, sound, climate, and security, along with zoned HVAC, in-ceiling surround sound, commercial-grade mechanical systems, and a 3,000kW rooftop generator.
It’s built to operate like a high-end private residence, not a typical townhouse retrofit.
A TV favorite with serious screen credentials
In addition to starring in Netflix’s Uncoupled, the townhouse has been used for multiple productions, including HBO’s The Other Two, Law & Order, CBS’s The Second Wave, Good Morning America, and a Samsung campaign.
Even Michael Jordan reportedly filmed in the living room, adding another pop-culture credit to the home’s résumé.
A quiet Midtown West block near Manhattan’s biggest attractions
The townhouse sits on a tree-lined block in Midtown West, offering residential calm just moments from Central Park, Columbus Circle, Hudson Yards, Broadway theaters, and world-class dining and nightlife.
It’s a location that blends neighborhood feel with immediate access to everything Manhattan offers.
A true single-family mansion in the heart of the city
Between its width, height, elevator access, outdoor spaces, and cinematic scale, this Midtown West townhouse offers something increasingly rare in Manhattan — a real house experience without leaving the city.
And with a starring role in one of Netflix’s buzziest rom-com series, it also comes with built-in pop culture history.
