Emily Blunt and John Krasinski Find Buyer for Tastefully Renovated NYC Townhouse at $6.5M

Emily Blunt and John Krasinski have found a buyer to fall in love with their Brooklyn townhouse. The couple listed the uniquely attractive residential property in Park Slope last September, asking $8 million, and recently accepted an offer of $6.56 million to see it into the sunset. The couple picked up the home for $6.6 million in 2016, but apparently did not use it frequently.

The townhome’s façade is ornate and graceful, with French Renaissance flourishes carved into its limestone, a majestic staircase and a wrought-iron gate entryway. Within, the home extends to roughly 3,200 square feet of interior living space over three floors; the first floor features an additional 30’ long indoor/outdoor space in the back of the building that holds the kitchen and the garden. The design allows for kitchen skylights, a very nice addition to a classic townhome that liberates the room significantly.

The rooms display period details that are sometimes entirely disarming. The marquetry in the oak floors, crown moldings, exposed beams, and a dining room grounded by a tile fireplace are notable examples. Blunt and Krasinski’s tenure has yielded a few revisions that brighten considerably and back off the enveloping warmth too, painting the cherry paneling white, and bringing fashionably detached grays into the picture.

Krasinski and Blunt haven’t been out of the real estate market news for long as of late. In January of this year, they sold their house in Ojai, one of three residences in the greater Los Angeles area the couple dispensed with in about a year’s time.
