It’s hard to believe it has been seven years since the friendships, drama, and humor of Girls graced HBO with new episodes. The hit show ran for five years, centering around four very different young women making their way through life in New York City. British-born actress Jemima Kirke, who starred as Jessa, hasn’t abandoned the city completely since then, according to a new piece of celebrity real estate news. Whether this home in Brooklyn is her primary residence or a groovy pied-à-terre, Kirke is now looking to sell it for $2.675 million.
Part of what made the series so popular was its sets and wardrobe. The show especially framed Jessa with a mix of indie, laidback, and maximalist looks and spaces. Nothing was too perfect or too precious, leaning towards a more collected yet dramatic aesthetic. Kirke’s own five-bedroom townhouse in Red Hook seems to echo some of those same sensibilities.
Color, character, contrast, and artful decor abound, whether you’re getting cozy in front of the pink living room’s wood-burning fireplace, working in the orange detached office/studio, or waking up in the lacquer blue bedroom with a clawfoot bathtub. The 2,382-square-foot home is move-in-ready for fashion-lovers who appreciate unique touches and wish to make a statement, or buyers with tamer taste can easily make the home most subdued with easy cosmetic changes. Built in 1910, it has likely seen many styles on its walls.
Orren Azani of Compass holds the listing, which the NY Post first reported is for sale.
