Country music star Keith Urban is considering purchasing a lavish $39 million Manhattan townhouse for his wife, Nicole Kidman, so she can take her acting career to Broadway, according to a report.
Urban may buy the six-story Upper East Side townhouse — which Michael Jackson once called home — so the Oscar winner, 50, can pursue her stage dreams in the city after starring in a London production of the award-winning play “Photograph 21,” according to Women’s Day.
“Nicole is keen to do Broadway shows and get into making TV programs and New York is a much better place for them to be than Nashville,” a source told the magazine.
Industry sources say the townhouse is still on the market, however, and no deal has been made.
The limestone and red brick mansion was put on the market by billionaire hedge funder Marc Lasry, The Post first reported earlier this month.
Built in 1898, the 25-foot-wide home is 12,745 square feet and comes with 16 rooms, including seven bedrooms.
The mansion features an oak staircase and 10 woodburning fireplaces. Outdoor spaces include a garden-level patio and a private roof deck with a kitchen on the sixth floor.
