Jake Gyllenhaal is house hunting this holiday season. He recently checked out a stunning two-bedroom, two-bathroom penthouse at 65 Thompson St., which is asking $3.55 million.
Gyllenhaal has been buzzing in the news this week when he revealed on “Ellen” how he hurt his hand on the set of the upcoming “Nightcrawler” indie film. “A mirror broke in the middle of a scene that I was shooting,” the actor said.
The penthouse he toured comes with its own “Hamptons-like” entertaining space and private rooftop zone.
There is also a fireplace, chef’s kitchen and walnut wood panels in the foyer. The listing broker is Bond New York’s Pawel Ciercwierz.

Lisa Leder, the ex-wife of hedgefunder Marc Leder, co-CEO of Sun Capital Partners, just bought a $12 million apartment at Walker Tower.
Mr. Leder is known for throwing mid-life crisis-style Hamptons parties; he also hosted the fundraiser for Mitt Romney where the then-presidential candidate made his infamous “47 percent” comments. Lisa, we hear, will be more inclined to host elegant dinner parties than bacchanalian bashes in her new pad. The Walker Tower broker, Dana Power at Town Residential, declined to comment.
