Actor, comedian Jeff Garlin lists Gold Coast condo for $825,000

Actor and comedian Jeff Garlin placed his three-bedroom walk-up condominium on the Gold Coast on the market Thursday for $825,000.

A Chicago native and an alumnus of The Second City improvisational troupe, Garlin, 60, is best known for roles as patriarch Murray Goldberg on the ABC sitcom “The Goldbergs” and for playing Larry David’s manager on “Curb Your Enthusiasm.”

Garlin has owned the 1,800-square-foot condo since 2010, when he purchased it for $591,700. Now, however, Garlin is based in New York City and Los Angeles, so he has decided to place the unit on the market, listing agent Emily Sachs Wong of @properties told Elite Street.

“Jeff recently updated the entire condo,” she said. “It’s got Chicago charm with a fire escape-style balcony off the rear overlooking a garden. The views into Elm are tree-lined and it’s in the midst of the best walking locale. It also has a totally separate man cave and office that must have generated lots of creativity in the lower level that’s not attached.”

Other features in the unit include two bathrooms, a living room with a wall of windows and a fireplace, and a completely new white kitchen with stainless steel appliances, plenty of cabinet and countertop space, island bar seating and a built-in workstation ideal for working from home, Wong said. The condo’s primary bedroom suite has a dual sided, built-in closet space, a modern bathroom and access to a private balcony.

The unit is on the building’s second floor, but its purchase includes exclusive ownership of a separate, uncontiguous ground floor-level room that can be used for storage or as an office or man cave.

The condo had a $15,398 property tax bill in the 2020 tax year.

In Los Angeles, Garlin paid $2.42 million in 2018 for a four-bedroom, 2,606-square-foot house in the Hollywood Hills neighborhood.
