Celebrity Real Estate Feature: Home of the ‘Orange is the New Black’ Actor, Nick Sandow

The actor and director Nick Sandow owns the 19th-century townhouse in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn. The townhouse is overlooking the backyards of the neighbors, a sight appearing from the second-floor living room, through the stair landing, and to the master bedroom and the open bathroom. "I love the view in both directions," Nick said.

"The Wannabe," is a new film of the 49-year-old Mr. Sandow, to open this week and is best known as Joe Caputo, a beleaguered administrator of a women's prison in "Orange Is The New Back" of the Netflix series. After a day on the set, he likes to unwind, and said, "I put valerian in the water, which turns it blue, and then you basically pass out."

According to the New York Times post, the bathroom of the house was overhauled with the guidance of his partner, the 47-year-old Tamara Malkin-Stuart whom she collaborated with Fanny Mueller of Architect-A2 of Brooklyn.

When the couple bought the townhouse in 2004, they split it into two apartments. When it was renovated for two years, they rented the lower-level duplex to a tenant for six years while they lived in the upstairs triplex with their sons, Sterling, now 6, and Sasha, now 13.

In the 1990s, Sandow was acting in television shows like "Law & Order," tending bar at the Sporting Club on Hudson Street to support himself and live in TriBeCa. "It was a great neighborhood then," he said. "It felt like a nowhere land."

By 2000, he was able to purchase a three-family house in Park Slope, Brooklyn, where he lived before moving to Carroll Gardens.

Actors like Nick Sandow make a living being with other people. As reported by the Huffington Post news, even the actors channel all their experiences into a role; they will somehow hide behind another name, another face, in the story of someone else's life.

Actor and director Nick Sandow in the "Orange is The New Black" has a number of television film credits to his name and acted and directed on more than 60 films.
