- They are selling the home at a loss amid their split
Lily Allen and David Harbour will sell their lavish New York City home at a loss amid their split.
The home, nestled in the Carroll Gardens neighborhood of Brooklyn, N.Y., was initially listed for $7.9 million in October, and has now found a buyer for $7.3 million, according to Carl Gambino Real Estate’s Instagram page.
The brownstone home features interior design by AD100 designer Billy Cotton and architect Ben Bischoff of MADE, according to the listing. The living room area boasts a pea green tray ceiling and crown molding, a coordinating fireplace, and intricate multicolored floral wallpaper, flanked by green velvet couches and a bejeweled chandelier with black lampshades.
The kitchen area offers a more understated appeal, with cream colored tile and cabinets and simple gingham cushioned chairs. The home also features a backyard area, and several other unique design choices.
PEOPLE has reached out to a realtor for the former couple for further information on the sale.
The striking Victorian-inspired townhouse boasts bright, maximalist, patterned interiors, and previously drummed up viral interest when it was featured in Architectural Digest in 2023.
The sale comes after Harbour, 49, and Allen, 39, separated after four years of marriage, multiple sources confirmed to PEOPLE in February 2025.
“Her marriage has been crumbling,” an insider told PEOPLE exclusively at the time, “and they have split.”
Allen — who married Harbour in 2020 after meeting him on the celebrity dating app Raya — alluded to a recent “tough time” on the Dec. 16, 2024 episode of her BBC podcast Miss Me? with co-host Miquita Oliver.
Though Allen did not offer additional details as to the source of her trouble, she said the stress was affecting her mental health and making it difficult for her to eat.
The couple married in Las Vegas in 2020 in a ceremony that was officiated by an Elvis Presley impersonator. Allen’s daughters — Marnie Rose, 12, and Ethel Mary, 13, whom she shares with ex-husband Sam Cooper — also were in attendance.

The house served as a character of its own when it came to inspiration for Allen’s 2025 album West End Girl, which features scathing and vulnerable lyrics that seemingly allude to her split from the Stranger Things actor.
However, the London-born musician said that some of the songs were written “in character,” and said that the lyrics “could be considered autofiction” — a genre that combines autobiography and fiction, per an Oct 21, 2025 interview with Perfect Magazine.
“I’ve tried to document my life in a new city and the events that led me to where I am in my life now,” she said in a press release promoting the album. “At the same time, I’ve used shared experiences as the basis for songs which try to delve into why we humans behave as we do, so the record is a mixture of fact and fiction.”
