Alec Baldwin reveals his 6,000-square-foot home is ‘too small’

Alec Baldwin’s swanky Greenwich Village pad is bursting at the seams, and he’s not shy about letting the world know it. 

On his new TLC reality show, “The Baldwins,” which kicked off on Feb. 23, the 66-year-old actor gripes to the camera crew about his Devonshire House duplex: “We know it’s too small.” 

You’d think a 4,137-square-foot penthouse — snagged back in 2011 for a $11.7 million — would be plenty, but not when you’re cramming in wife Hilaria, seven kids, four pooches four felines, and a presumed squad of nannies.

The place is a zoo — literally — with bunk beds for the three boys, a split room for a younger son and daughter, and the 11-year-old bunking next to what looks like a Stairmaster. 

There’s a see-through dog runway tacked onto the kitchen, a cat tower hogging the dining room and plastic bins stacked like a Tetris game in the hallway.

The over 6,000-square-foot, four-bedroom trophy apartment has struggled to accommodate the couple, their seven children, four dogs, four cats and a presumed team of nannies. TLC
Despite its elegance and traditional charm — highlighted by terraces, a grand staircase and a layout that once appealed to Baldwin after living in Roth’s uptown El Dorado — the space has proven insufficient. TLC

This isn’t just any old apartment — it’s a downtown gem with a pedigree. 

Built in 1928 by big-shot architect Emery Roth (think El Dorado, the Beresford), Devonshire House was meant for working stiffs and boozy artists who’d stagger home from nearby haunts. 

Fast-forward to the 2000s, and developers at Cheshire Group LLC saw dollar signs, turning the 131-unit prewar property into condos with gothic flair and fancy urns outside.

“We tried to make the apartments gracious,” Robert McCain, the broker who helped carve up the floor plans and sold the first units, including Baldwin’s, told Curbed. “They were a pleasure to work with,” he added.  

Sotheby’s broker Wendy Arriz, who has done three deals in the building, calls it “very traditional, solid,” with “a West Side vibe” that lured Baldwin from his old digs at Roth’s El Dorado uptown, which he once praised to the New York Times as “more real … not a little kind of jewel-box, privileged pocket of the city.”

But even a trophy pad has limits. 

Since moving in, the Baldwins have been playing real estate Jenga.

In June 2012, right after tying the knot, Hilaria dropped $1.2 million on a one-bedroom next door. Then came a $1.3 million studio in 2017, a $1.7 million penthouse in 2019, and a $340,000 reno in 2022 to stitch it all together — totaling around 6,086 square feet, plus 760 square feet of terraces, according to Reddit sleuths following Hilaria’s Instagram. 

Speaking of which, she’s been caught posting selfies from what looks like a public hallway — mirrors, elevators, gray floors and all — where the family does push-ups, yoga and even stashes shoes. “F–king rude!” one Redditor fumes.

The Baldwin clan has been house-hunting on and off for years — eyeing a $16.5 million Chelsea penthouse and a $16.6 million Nomad condo in 2017, only to stay put and keep expanding at Devonshire. 

They’ve also got their Amagansett spread that was previously on the market, with Alec pimping it in a video from 2024. It remains off market for the moment.
