Serial real estate listers John Krasinski and Emily Blunt have moved their family east to fashionable Park Slope in Brooklyn after waiting for months for renovations to be complete on their $6 million home. They put three homes on the market in California earlier this year. The couple shouldn’t have a problem adjusting their toddler and newborn to the Big Apple in their classic six-bedroom townhouse in one of the most coveted neighbourhoods in the city. Park Slope, famous for being a family-friendly neighborhood with stretches of green space and many charming shops and restaurants, is no doubt suiting the family of four.
House of the day
Homes and cottages we’d love to have — whether we can afford them or not
Key details:
• three-storey limestone-clad townhouse
• 6 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms
• 3,390 square feet
• $6 million
The neighbourhood is also home to numerous celebs, so it’s a great fit for Blunt, star of the blockbuster film The Girl on the Train, and Krasinski, who is currently filming the lead role in the Amazon series Jack Ryan.
The couple’s new three-storey townhouse has all the hallmarks of a pre-war apartment — high ceilings, intricate plaster ornamentation, and a charming fireplace — but with all the amenities of a modern celebrity home. Word is they spent a mere $300,000 on renovations, and lived on the Upper East Side awaiting completion. These images are from a previous listing, but note the “museum-quality details” and its “incredible bones.”
The kitchen, which is quite spacious for New York standards, is light and bright, and complete with an extended range and granite countertops.
The living and dining areas are large yet cozy thanks to fireplaces and vintage details in the woodwork and etched-glass windows.
And the master suite is the perfect place to retreat after a long day of filming, with lots of natural light and a spa-like bathroom that has a classic look with subway tiles and marble counters. (But we did notice that the shower head is a tad, shall we say, British … sorry, Emily, but where’s the luxurious A-list rainhead?)
The A-list stars leave behind a string of beautiful homes on the West Coast, including their recently sold home in Hollywood Hills, which Kendall Jenner reportedly picked up for $6.5 million, as well as their Ojai weekend home and another home on Mulholland Drive, which are still on the market.
