Gerard Butler, the Scottish actor and star of movieslike "London Has Fallen" and "300," is listing his apartment in New York City’s Chelsea neighborhood, and the $5.99 million spread is fit for a Spartan.
"He calls it modern vintage," said listing broker Kevin Sneddon of Private Client Realty. "It’s sort of his style. Every square inch of that place has his fingerprints on it."

Mr. Butler, 48, bought the two-story loft in a converted manufacturing warehouse on West 19th Street for $2.575 million in 2004, property records show, and began an extensive renovation of the 3,150-square-foot property. "He basically transformed the entire loft," Mr. Sneddon said, a process that took about four years.
He tapped architect Alexander Gorlin and production designer Elvis Restaino for the home’s individual aesthetic, which "combines old architectural features with modern movie-type construction," reads the listing.
The resulting home features 11-foot high mahogany doors, a home theater, a ceiling fresco in the foyer, chipped plaster walls, large columns supporting limestone lions and myriad crystal chandeliers, according to the listing, which adds that Mr. Butler describes the loft’s style as "bohemian old-world rustic chateau with a taste of baroque."

Mr. Butler, whose representatives did not immediately respond to requests for comment, is selling because he is not spending much time in the city, Mr. Sneddon said.
"What I said to Gerry is ‘I've got to find another [person like] Gerry for this place,’" Mr. Sneddon said. "The buyer has to have an appreciation for that aesthetic."
In 2010, the home was featured in—and on the cover of—Architectural Digest. When discussing the home, designer Mr. Restaino told the magazine, "If there was a track in there and little plastic Viking ships, you could make it into an attraction at Disneyland. Gerry's place is a ride, man, it's a ride."
Mr. Butler is also selling his Los Feliz, California, home, which has been on the market for just over a year with an asking price of $4.395 million.
The New York Post first reported the listing.
