Townhouse Lists for $8 Million"},"content":{"rendered":"

\n\tShortly after their 2020 nuptials in Las Vegas,\u00a0Stranger Things\u00a0actor David Harbour and British pop star Lily Allen doled out $3.35 million for a \u201cvery lived-in\u201d 19th-century Italianate brownstone in Brooklyn<\/a>\u2019s leafy Carroll Gardens enclave.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe couple subsequently enlisted the services of architect\u00a0Ben Bischoff<\/a>\u00a0of MADE and designer\u00a0Billy Cotton<\/a>\u00a0and embarked on an extensive renovation that was featured in an\u00a0Architectural Digest\u00a0video tour<\/a>. Now, four years later, they\u2019ve broken up and have decided to sell the eclectic five-bedroom, four-bath abode for nearly double what they paid, asking a speck under $8 million. Carl Gambino of Compass holds\u00a0the listing<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tDrawing on three distinct design themes\u2014traditional English, modern Brooklyn townhouse, and layered Italian in a nod to the neighborhood\u2019s Italian\/American roots\u2014Cotton\u2019s goal was to preserve the original details and character. He also wanted to create a casual, family-friendly atmosphere. The result? Eccentric yet inviting interiors that boast chintz balloon shades, crystal chandeliers, pink silk, tiger-patterned textiles, Mylar wallpaper, and some whimsical swan-shaped fixtures thrown in for good measure.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe first order of business was coming up with a warm and functional kitchen, complete with Plain English cabinetry, an Ann Sacks-tiled backsplash, a fancy Officine Gullo range, a custom dining table big enough for dropping off shopping bags and completing homework, and a coffee station with a hot\/cold water tap. From there, a green-hued living\/garden room is anchored by a boxy fireplace, Zuber wallpaper, and a custom double-sided green sofa enveloped in tufted emerald velvet.<\/p>\n

\n\tOther highlights include a primary bath\/sitting room anchored by carpet and shades from Pierre Frey, yet more Zuber wallpaper, Ralph Lauren Home sconces, a pink soaking tub, and a fireplace bookended by vanities crafted from gilt bronze and parquetry commodes. A separate space holds the toilet and a combination tub and shower, while pocketing doors open to reveal an intimate and windowless \u201cbed womb.\u201d There are also dual walk-in closets, one a dressing area with bespoke Florense shelving and the other a black-clad space with a desk.<\/p>\n

\n\tA narrow staircase descends to a more modern lower level spotlighted by a powder room flaunting an ebony sink and a toilet set against bold geometric wallpaper, plus a media room warmed by a stone fireplace and a carpet and sectional sofa dressed in tiger print. A door opens to the enclosed and gated backyard, which hosts two structures housing a Finnish sauna and a cold plunge.<\/p>\n

\n\tAt the time of the AD home tour, Harbour stated that the townhouse\u2019s style is a big change from that of his former\u00a0New York City loft in Nolita<\/a>. \u201cI\u2019m a suburban boy from Westchester, so I\u2019m accustomed to a more middle-of-the-road aesthetic,\u201d he said. Allen, armed with her own vision, instead leaned into her overall desire for something truly \u201cweird and wonderful.\u201d<\/p>\n
