Jemima Kirke is synonymous with Brooklyn. A large part of that stems from her role as Jessa on Girls, but it\u2019s also her real-estate choices: She has bounced around the borough for well over a decade, picking up and selling a townhouse in Carroll Gardens, followed by her pink-heavy fun house in Red Hook, which she sold for $2.5 million in 2024. So it was a little surprising to see that Kirke and her mother, Lorraine, had purchased a Chelsea co-op apartment for $2.35 million this month, according to recent property records.<\/p>\n
The Kirkes\u2019 1,750-square-foot apartment<\/a> is on the 11th floor of London Terrace Towers, a prewar complex of four corner buildings with a nearly block-long interior courtyard. While the 700-unit development is close to the High Line and the neighborhood\u2019s blue-chip galleries \u2014 a likely boon for Kirke, who has long seen herself<\/a> as more of a portrait painter than an actress \u2014 London Terrace itself is also a bit of a puzzling leap after townhouse living. The three-bed, three-bath apartment itself is airy but also pretty uninspired, especially when compared to the pink-and-butterscotch tilework and blue-painted exposed brick that lined her Red Hook home. There\u2019s an open-concept kitchen with a quartz waterfall island, dark-stained hardwood floors, and a lot of white. That\u2019s not to say it\u2019s completely charmless: The coffered ceilings are a nice touch, there\u2019s ample closet space and built-ins, and eight casement windows with views of the Manhattan skyline include \u201cglimpses\u201d of the Empire State Building, per the listing. There\u2019s also enough room for a home office next to the windowless third bedroom, which perhaps Kirke could use when working on any future advice columns or writing her own industry tell-all. <\/p>\n Of course, the simplicity of the space does raise the question of whether this is simply an investment property for the pair. Lorraine understandably declined to comment, and a number listed for Kirke didn\u2019t respond to my messages.<\/p>\n \n Jemima and Lorraine Kirke purchased a three-bedroom in London Terrace Towers, as seen in this listing photo, that\u2019s quite bland compared to the colorful Red Hook townhouse that the former Girls star sold in 2024. \n The coffered ceilings, as seen in this listing photo, do add some charming details to this three-bedroom apartment. \n There are perks to the Kirke\u2019s new three-bedroom apartment, as seen in this listing photo, like the Manhattan skyline views through the windows.
