Neil Patrick Harris recently listed his stylish NYC brownstone for $7.325 million. The actor tapped award-winning architect Jeffery Povero and top interior designer Trace Lehnhoff to transform the property when he snapped it up back in 2013.
The renovation was sensitive to the property's history – the Italianate home was built in 1907 – and restored original woodwork and molding while bringing it stylishly into the 21st century.
The home boasts 8,000sqft of space with five bedrooms and six bathrooms. The show-stopper of the space has to be the ultra-cool bar, accessed on the home's parlor floor, which is bursting with characterful artefacts, fringed lampshades, sumptuous velvet sofas, and a vintage bar sourced from an old Connecticut hotel.
The elegantly restored wooden staircase leads you up to a loft-like living and dining area overlooking 5th Avenue. The colorful and bold statement art pops against the white walls, making an inspiring living room idea.
The dining space boasts a beautiful mid-century modern dining table as its centerpiece.
The adjacent kitchen is modern and stylish, with high-end finishes and glamorous marble tiles. There's even floor-to-ceiling glass doors that lead out onto a deck with a built-in grill for al fresco dining.
The impressive master suite is packed with bedroom ideas. It sits on the third floor, and is a chic yet cozy space with a fireplace, custom walk-in-closet and a bathroom bedecked with Nero Marquina marble and Crittall-style doors; an industrial yet glamorous bathroom idea.
On the top floor, there are three more bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a 'magical' hidden office, that only opens by pressing the eye of a magician on a vintage poster. The home is full of these quirks that add a fantastical element to the otherwise chic abode.
The garden level also has production office, a 10-seat home theater, wine cellar, and gym.
The home is listed with Vickey Barron at Compass.
