KLJ's Former Manhattan Townhouse

Like many others out there, I still have issues of Domino magazine from years ago. One of the ones I kept was the issue that featured Katie Lee Joel's New York townhouse. It was renovated by architect Ahmad Sardar-Afkami and designed by Nate Berkus and it's truly incredible. 

KLJ has since sold the place and I stumbled upon the real estate listing via Pinterest and was thrilled to find a massive set of photos of the property. I had no idea that it was so huge...at 4,000 square feet it's a monster especially for New York size standards. Oh, and it was listed at a cool $13 million. I'll never cease to be amazed at the cost of real estate in Manhattan! Anyhow here is the eye candy courtesy of Gotham Photo Company...

Amazing, right? I really like the style - it's very cool and young but still classic and understated. I'm curious about why KLJ decided to sell. Maybe the dining room was too small (she's a chef and probably entertains a lot)? I guess the glitterati buys, renovates, and sells real estate constantly. In any case, I love the townhouse and think Ahmad Sardar-Afkami and Nate Berkus did a fabulous job with it.

Have a wonderful weekend!
