Inside Mariska Hargitay’s $8.7 Million NYC Home Where She Lives with Husband & Kids: ‘It’s Happy Chaos’

A six-story New York City mansion is home to TV star Mariska Hargitay, her husband Peter Hermann, and their three children. Their chic master suite takes up the whole second level.

With her outstanding performance on “Law and Order: SVU” for more than twenty years, Mariska Hargitay has been a privilege to watch. Her spouse of 18 years, Peter Hermann, has spent the majority of that time by her side.

They first crossed paths in November 2001, when Hermann was cast as a guest star on the hit drama series. Detective Elliot Stabler, played by Christopher Meloni, spotted Hargitay’s crush on Hermann the moment they filmed their scene together.

Securing a Home for the Kids

The fact that Hargitay earned between half a million and five hundred thousand dollars every episode of “SVU” in 2021 is proof of her remarkable career in show business.

Her family’s lavish lifestyle in New York City is hardly shocking given their high income. A penthouse apartment that cost $7.1 million was one of them. But Hargitay made $13.5 million when she sold it in 2020.

The pair spent nearly $7.5 million in 2010 to purchase an East Hampton mansion. Eleven bedrooms, six and a half bathrooms, a pool, gardens, and a guesthouse were all part of the 11,000-square-foot mansion.

As you can see in the photos, Hargitay now resides in a townhouse on the Upper West Side with her husband and children. Their purchase in the late 2010s resulted in its current $8.7 million valuation.

The living area gets plenty of natural light from the mansion’s enormous windows and gives the impression of depth thanks to strategically placed mirrors.

The ground level is one of the most striking features of the six-story house. It features a contemporary kitchen with a huge island in the middle and high-end appliances, as well as a spacious but comfortable den that can be used as a retreat from the main living areas.

She has had a tough time finding a balance between her professional and family life.

Additionally, there is a rear garden accessible from the first floor, complete with a dining table, a couch, and a BBQ. Because of the framed windows and doors, the backyard looks out over the kitchen and breakfast room, which are both at double height.

The property’s main bedroom, one of five bedrooms, occupies the whole second story. It features a dressing area, a huge walk-in closet, a marble bathtub, and windows that go all the way to the ceiling.
