The "Dead Poets Society" and "Before Midnight" star Ethan Hawke's colorful townhouse in the Chelsea neighborhood of New York has gone under the escrow just after it hit the market in January. Hawke had listed the place for $6.25 million.

According to the listing records at Corcoran real estate, the status of the home says "in contract". This means, the home is under a pending sales contract. However, the deal is not finalized and therefore, the exact sale amount cannot be determined.                                                                                                                       

Hawke's townhouse, located just near the famous "Billy's Bakery" is as colorful as a birthday cake. He had purchased the home in 2005 for $3 million.

The four- story place is spread across approximately 3,500 square feet comprising of six bedrooms and four and a half bathrooms.

The property is divided into two separate units; ground floor and a triplex unit. The ground floor features a living room, two bedrooms, a small kitchen and a patio overlooking a garden. The triplex unit features a parlor floor and two other floors above it. The parlor floor sports a large dine-in kitchen. It also has a formal dining room. The place sports complete wooden flooring.

 The third floor comprises of three bedrooms and a laundry, while the fourth floor homes the master suite, a den and a roof-top terrace, reports Real Estalker.

Other than the Manhattan home, Hawke also owns a small private island in Nova Scotia. Hawke and ex-wife Uma Thurman had purchased the island when they were together.They separated in 2003.

Hawke's Chelsea home is not the only thing under contract. Ethan has his hands full with several movie contracts. He is currently filming an untitled 12-year project, while his upcoming movies "Getaway" and "The Purge" are set for 2013 releases.
