Lily Allen and David Harbour have quietly moved a high-profile Brooklyn home off the market, selling the Carroll Gardens townhouse that inspired Allen’s 2025 record. The transaction comes amid the couple’s separation and marks a notable loss on a property that drew attention for its bold interiors and celebrity ownership.
Sale specifics: price, listing history and buyer details
The brownstone first appeared for sale in October with a $7.9 million asking price. The property ultimately went under contract for $7.3 million, according to an Instagram post by the listing brokerage. That figure represents a loss from the original list price and was confirmed by the seller’s real estate team on social media.

Inside the house: bold design and standout features
Architectural styling made headlines long before the sale. The townhouse was profiled in Architectural Digest and became a social media favorite.

Personal context: marriage, separation and public commentary
Allen and Harbour married in 2020 after connecting on Raya. Their wedding in Las Vegas included an Elvis impersonator as the officiant. Allen’s two daughters from a previous marriage attended the ceremony.

How the home ties into Allen’s West End Girl album
