Michael credits his wife, who is an interior and set designer, for being the mastermind behind their history-filled home.

At the start of the tour,The Sopranosalum revealed the building used to be an old hotel dating back to the 1920s — a quality he and his wife were drawn to when first looking at the home.
“This could easily be an apartment from the jazz age, which is kind of cool,” he said. “It takes you away from the hectic pace of modern life,” noting that there is not one piece of modern art in the entire home.
In the living room, double French doors lead out to the balcony, offering views of the city skyline and a glimpse of Central Park. Meanwhile, the colorful floor-to-ceiling mural creates a “comforting” and “inspiring” space, Michael said.
The renovated kitchen features marble countertops and birch tree wallpaper, which serves as a reminder of Victoria’s native Ukraine. Although a smaller space, especially for an avid cook like Michael, the actor said it’s perfect for his low-maintenance personality.
“I don’t like gadgets and things like that. I’ve had the same set of knives for 20-something years,” he said.

“It is truly the most important [room] for both of us,” Victoria said. “In the morning, a lot of times, we will meditate together. That’s the very first thing that we do.”
