A West Village townhouse that’s owned by the family of fine jewelry designer David Yurman hit the market Thursday for $18.45 million.
The red-brick townhouse on Morton Street, built in 1852 for the trustees of Trinity Church, has been featured in several movies.
"Superior design definitely has a timeless attraction," said listing agent Paula Del Nunzio of Brown Harris Stevens. "Over the years, iconic films such as Mike Nichol’s 1988 ‘Working Girl’ and Robert Redford’s 1994 ‘Quiz Show’ have selected this townhouse to represent the residence of a leading character to radiate charisma and success."
In addition, the townhouse also served as a home for Matthew Broderick in "The Night We Never Met" and for Winona Ryder in "Autumn in New York."

Evan Yurman, 35, the son of David Yurman, who founded the namesake jewelry brand in 1980, bought the townhouse through a limited liability company in 2015 for $17 million, according to the listing brokerage and property records.
The younger Mr. Yurman, who is chief design director and head of the men’s collection at the family company, which has 47 boutique stores worldwide and an annual gross sale of over $800 million, declined to comment for this story.
The 25-foot wide, 56-foot deep townhouse has five bedrooms, five full bathrooms and one half bathroom; it boasts high ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows with three exposures, and fireplaces with design details.

Although the townhouse is marketed as a single-family residence, it was used as a multi-family building for years and "in need of total renovation," the listing said.
There is potential to add an additional 3,000 square feet to the townhouse, which currently encompasses 5,834 square feet of interior living space spanning four above-grade levels, a 1,515-square-foot basement and a 1,130-square-foot garden.
The younger Mr. Yurman and his filmmaker wife, Ku-Ling Yurman, live in a Bohemian-style Tribeca apartment, which was featured in Elle Decor last year.
