"How long a minute is depends which side of the bathroom door you're on. Now it appears that how much a $1m loss matters depends how eager you are for your business to be concluded. That's pretty eager apparently and unsurprisingly if you're Lily Allen and David Harbour. The former couple have just accepted $7m for the Brooklyn townhouse they listed for $8m in October."
"The question is, despite it being such a steal, who would want to live in the four-storey brownstone? It may not technically be a crime scene, but a marriage was murdered there, and each room is surely haunted by the ghost of open relationships. Plus, you'd wonder if every friend who visited really wanted to see you or was just coming to gawp at the bathroom carpet."
"This home is almost as well-known as its former residents. Every inch of it was proudly revealed in a 2023 Architectural Digest video, which we lapped up at the time but now insist was full of warning signs we noticed all along. (Harbour answering the door saying, Oh God. What the hell are you doing here? I mean, last time I was single and I was living on the Lower East. I have a family now. Kids, I mean this is so embarrassing."
Lily Allen and David Harbour accepted $7m for their four-storey Brooklyn brownstone after listing it for $8m in October. The house's interior and history are closely associated with the couple's relationship breakdown, generating notoriety and public curiosity. The property was featured in a 2023 Architectural Digest video that showcased every room and, in retrospect, contained awkward moments. Allen referenced the purchase and the home on her album, which used the house as a backdrop for songs about her nightmare marriage. Observers speculate a buyer might preserve the distinctive interior and capitalize on the home's fame by creating a museum-like attraction.
