Nicole Kidman Rents Out New York City Apartment

The Real Deal broke the news this week that Nicole Kidman has put her apartment in the ultra-minimalist, Richard Meier-designed 176 Perry Street building in New York City up for rent. Get out your wallets, Kidman is asking $45,000 per month. The actress bought the 12th floor apartment back in 2003 for around $8 million. She and husband Keith Urban bought a new designer penthouse complete with "sky garage" at 200 11th Avenue earlier this year.

The 176 Perry Street unit is listed with Halstead Property's Richard Orenstein. The full-floor unit has three bedrooms. The light-filled condo is 3,785 square feet and has a dramatic glassy living room that stretches the full width of the apartment.

As the Real Estalker mentioned, whoever bunks at 176 Perry Street will get some posh neighbors including Martha Stewart's daughter Alexis who has a triplex unit, Calvin Klein, who owns a penthouse duplex, hotelier Ian Schrager, celebrity chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten, and Hugh Jackman who picked up Sun Microsystems co-founder Bill Joy's triplex for $21 million in 2008.
