This penthouse loft once rented by Charlotte Gainsbourg — the actor and singer/songwriter whose mother, Jane Birkin, inspired Hermès’ iconic Birkin bag — has listed for $23,500 per month.
Located in Manhattan’s celeb-heavy Tribeca, at 55 N. Moore St., Gainsbourg lived here from 2015 to 2017.
During this period, the 2016 movie “Independence Day: Resurgence” was in post-production and then released. In it, Gainsbourg played Dr. Catherine Marceaux alongside Liam Hemsworth, Jeff Goldblum and Bill Pullman.
(Separately, and before her time in this unit, Gainsbourg also appeared in the dark 2003 film “21 Grams,” with Sean Penn, Naomi Watts, and Benicio del Toro.)
Gainsbourg was the most recent tenant of the 3,600-square-foot spread. The home’s owners themselves lived in the home afterwards, before recently placing it back on the market for rent.
Beyond Jane Birkin, a singer and actress herself, Gainsbourg is also the daughter of the late French musician Serge Gainsbourg, who is still referred to as France’s answer to David Bowie.
Pegged as a “one-of-a-kind penthouse,” the residence has four bedrooms and three baths, and is perched on the top floor of a six-unit building.
It’s complete with 19th-century details such as exposed brick walls, white tin ceilings and original wood beam columns. The home has three skylights.
A private key-locked elevator opens into the 2,000-square-foot great room with a large gas fireplace. The open chef’s kitchen is equipped with a large wine closet, a Viking range, a vented hood, two dishwashers and two pantries.
The primary suite features a luxurious bathroom with a large glass steam shower, a large soaking tub and a Balinese-style double sink.
The husband and wife team of Mark David Fromm and Claudia Saez-Fromm of the Corcoran Group hold the listing.
