Alec Baldwin of 30 Rock, with his resurgence in fame has made some dramatic changes in his life. He’s slimmer, happier and has a new home in the big city. A fabulous New York City penthouse, nonetheless.

Many people attribute Baldwin’s refined appearance and newly purchased abode to his relationship with 26-year-old girlfriend, Hilaria Thomas. (Is Hilaria short for Hilarious?) His old penthouse, which was much smaller, is now on the market for $9.5 million.

Penthouse 12E at the Devonshire house is breathtaking, as it should be for the original asking price of $12.5 million. It’s smack dab in the middle of Greenwich Village and the late architect Emery Roth gets credit for its fabulous design. It offers 4,137 square feet of living area with 4 bedrooms and 4.5 baths. This sumptuously decorated two level penthouse has one floor devoted to a great room and a bathroom, with the bedrooms, kitchen, living room, dining room and breakfast nook all on the other floor.

The decor is a contemporary modern design with clean white in the kitchen and the baths, accented by wood and a splash of color. There’s a soaking tub and a separate glass enclosed shower in the master bedroom’s bathroom. In addition, the bedroom sports a study and a dressing area filled with an excess amount of closet space.

The dining room has steel blue walls with white trim and a deep toned hardwood floor. It’s not exactly a warm and inviting room, but nonetheless stunning as it looks like it could be a room in one of New York’s finer restaurants. It does have a manly debonair appearance like the rest of the house and the decor. However, it’s a bit ‘cold’ looking too and aloof.

A much lighter tone of steel blue was the color of choice for another bedroom. Again the hardwood floors and white trim set off the much more soothing and friendlier tones of this spacious room. All the rooms in this penthouse are striking and memorable but again, a bit standoffish and cold. With that said the penthouse is elegant, tasteful and well worth the price Mr. Baldwin paid.
