"The marital home of English singer Lily Allen and "Stranger Things" star David Harbour found a buyer, less than three months after its starring role in Allen's acclaimed breakup album. The luxurious Carroll Gardens townhouse hit the market in late October, asking $7.9 million. The price was cut down to $7.3 million earlier this month. The final price to be paid, as well as the identity of the forthcoming owner, are not yet known."
"The ex-couple's viral - and beautifully maximalist - home hit the Brooklyn market days after Allen released her newest album, "West End Girl." The album's confessional lyrics, praised by critics and dissected by audiences, alluded to Allen and Harbour's 2024 split amid rumors of infidelity. The couple paid $3.3 million for the townhouse in 2021, according to city records. The pair tapped AD100 designer Billy Cotton and architect Ben Bischoff of MADE to undertake a splashy renovation."
"Allen's lyrics in the title song "West End Girl" described feeling pressured to buy the pricey pad. "Now I'm looking at houses with four or five floors / And you've found us a brownstone, said 'You want it? It's yours,'" Allen wrote. Her lyrics continued: "So we went ahead and we bought it / Found ourselves a good mortgage / Billy Cotton got sorted / All the furniture ordered / I could never afford this / You were pushing it forward / Made me feel a bit awkward / Made me feel a bit awkward.""
