Lily Allen and David Harbour’s Eclectic Brooklyn Townhouse is Listed For Sale
Step into a world of color and pattern in a typical Brooklyn brownstone. The famous home of Lily Allen and David Harbour has been put on the market, and every interior lover will be amazed by this New York townhouse.
Originally purchased in 2020 by actor David Harbour and musician Lily Allen, the home first drew attention when its exuberant interiors appeared in an Architectural Digest video tour.
Now, after the extensive top-to-bottom reinvention and a very public divorce that inspired Lily Allen’s latest album, the five-bedroom residence invites a new owner to step into its artful, layered world.
The house is located on one of Carroll Gardens’ most coveted, tree-lined blocks. Standing 22 feet wide, the brownstone feels less like a house and more like a living storybook, with pages filled with English romanticism, Brooklyn modernity, and old-world Italian flourish.
Reimagined by architect Ben Bischoff of MADE and AD100 designer Billy Cotton, the late-19th-century townhouse is the kind of residence that doesn’t just shelter life; it animates it.
The moment you enter the main level, the house announces its sense of drama with confidence. The living room, cocooned in hand-printed Zuber wallpaper, feels both transportive and comforting, formal in its crown moldings, yet relaxed in atmosphere.
A geometric, boxy fireplace grounds the room, while glass doors usher in soft natural light and open to a secluded backyard complete with a Finnish sauna and cold plunge.
The visual rhythm continues into the adjacent kitchen and dining area, where warmth and practicality balance theatricality. The Plain English cabinetry and an Ann Sacks tiled backsplash frame an Officine Gullo range.
The kitchen island and the shelves are packed with glass jars, pans, books, and crockery, conveying an English country kitchen charm.
A custom banquette and dining table anchor the space, designed to be equally suitable for homework sessions, grocery drop-offs, and long, convivial dinners.
Ascending to the full-floor primary suite feels like entering a private wing of a boutique hotel.
Wrapped once again in Zuber’s expressive motifs alongside Pierre Frey carpeting, the suite unfolds into a series of intimate zones: a serene sitting room with its own fireplace, dual walk-in closets including a bespoke Florense dressing area, and one of the most imaginative bathrooms in Brooklyn.
In the bathroom, opulence leans toward fantasy: a pink soaking tub, Ralph Lauren sconces, gilt-bronze details, parquetry-inspired vanities, and even a carpeted bath/sitting area
A separate enclosed “bed womb” (as Harbour once called it) offers a cocoon-like sleeping space tucked behind pocket doors.
The third floor is home to the guest suites, which are decorated in a considerably lighter and calmer palette.
The garden level offers flexible living, featuring an additional guest suite, a powder room, and a cozy, casual living room, featuring tiger print, and warmed by yet another fireplace. From here, doors lead straight out to the backyard sanctuary.
