‘You’ star Penn Badgley lists NY oasis. Does the basement have a cage? Take a look

Surrounded by a wooded area complete with an abundance of privacy, Netflix’s “You” star Penn Badgley’s upstate New York oasis awaits a new owner and there’s only one question on everyone’s mind:

Does it come with the glass cage all his love interests know intimately well?

Jokes aside, the former “Gossip Girl” actor has listed his glamorous West Shokan, New York, digs for $1.7 million.

There’s a modest luxury to the place, because you are in the woods and can live that life while having everything you need, and plenty more for hosting and holiday gathering,” Badgley told the New York Post.

“The first time I sat on the porch and watched a balmy storm come in, I felt home. Roaming the property with our kids and dogs was a joy. We followed it for years before purchasing, and we’re sad to let it go, so we just want to see it in the hands of someone who will love it.”

And there’s plenty to love when it comes to the four-bedroom, four-bathroom, three-story home. High-end features include:

  • Views

  • Wood floors

  • Natural light

  • Fireplace

  • Screen-in porches

  • Patio (complete with a swing)

  • Chef’s kitchen

  • Library

  • Media room

  • Gym

  • Two-car garage

Badgley, a Baltimore native, shot to fame playing Dan Humphrey in the TV series “Gossip Girl” and has starred in numerous films and shows, including “Easy A” with Emma Stone and “John Tucker Must Die.”

Most recently, he can be seen in “You,” a show about a man who gets easily obsessed with the women he’s infatuated with and goes to extreme lengths to win their affections — including locking them up in a glass cage he keeps in his basement.

The listing is held by James Amburn and Angelica Ferguson of Sotheby’s International Realty.
