For years, Danny DeVito lived in Los Angeles. Like many actors, the choice of the City of Angels came naturally. Since the beginning of the 1970s, the one who was the unforgettable (and terrifying) Penguin in “Batman: The Challenge” (Tim Burton, 1992) has multiplied the roles with big names in cinema. If we had to summarize Danny DeVito’s career in a few lines, we would obviously evoke “Flight over a cuckoo’s nest” (Milos Forman, 1975), “In pursuit of the green diamond” (Robert Zemeckis, 1984 ), “Junior” (Ivan Reitman, 1994) or even “Virgin Suicides” (Sofia Coppola, 1999). In addition, it is difficult not to mention his films as director (“La Guerre des Rose”, “Matilda”, “Crève, Smoochy, crève!” …) or his fruitful collaboration with Tim Burton, who made it one of his favorite actors (“Batman: The Challenge”, “Mars Attacks!”, “Big Fish”, “Dumbo”…).

Since the 2000s, the American comedian has also made a name for himself on television. Impossible not to remember his performance as an atypical stripper in the last season of “Friends”, during the bachelorette party of Phoebe. But above all, since 2006, Danny DeVito is one of the stars of the sitcom “Philadelphia” (“It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia”, in original version). A series filmed largely, as its name suggests, in the metropolis of Pennsylvania. Leaving the Californian sun to come and settle on the East Coast? A choice that the actor, who recently bought a house in New York, did not hesitate to make.
The charm of a townhouse
According to our colleagues at the “New York Post”, the sale of the property was finalized on January 6, 2020, ie before the start of the pandemic. For Danny DeVito, this New York home marks a new stage. For years, he lived in a gorgeous Beverly Hills mansion with his wife, actress Rhea Perlman. They eventually sold it for a tidy sum of $ 28 million. In recent years, the couple has continued to separate and then reconcile. But despite their new lives, they finally decided to give up the divorce and remain on good terms today. The proof ? In 2018, although separated, they bought an apartment in Los Angeles, ideal for accommodating their three children (Lucy, Grace and Jake).
For his new New York property, ideally located in the Brooklyn neighborhood, Danny DeVito paid the modest sum of $ 2 million. Note that the previous owner had spent $ 2,200,000 when it was acquired in 2016. High figures but which can be explained by the ideal location of the house, which offers a breathtaking view of Manhattan. Stretching over nearly 120 square meters, it stands out for its height. All bedrooms have ceilings over three meters high. Something to delight the actor’s guests who will not have to step on each other because the house has four bedrooms and five bathrooms.
The rooftop, the centerpiece
Who says star house obviously says star pieces. The kitchen is worthy of a great chef with its personalized cupboards and marble countertop. Marble, a luxury material par excellence, is obviously present in the various bathrooms. In terms of the dominant colors, there is a strong presence of white, which brings light to the different rooms.
The highlight of the show remains the rooftop of the house. For the actor, there is no need to go to the roof of a hotel to enjoy a cocktail. This luxury, he can now have it at home. Its panoramic terrace offers breathtaking views of Manhattan and its iconic buildings, such as the One World Trade Center and the Chrysler Building. In the Big Apple, Danny DeVito will see life in a big way!
