Adieu, Jenna Lyons’ House

Since the news broke about a month or so ago, I’ve tried really hard not to post about it. I held out as long as I could but I just can’t not do it.  As many times as I’ve posted and talked about Jenna Lyons’ house, I just can’t let its sale go unacknowledged.  So let’s take one last look at my (and everybody else’s) favorite house. There are some previously unpublished photos here so it’ll be that much more fun.

How many time did I talk about this one room?

After all these years, I still think it’s perfect.

Those antlers are the only things I don’t care for in the entire house.

The famous kitchen. I never noticed those doors before.

I don’t know of two seats that got blogged more than these:

This photo still gets me:

I hadn’t seen this shot of the garden before:

Remember I was thinking about Tolix chairs for the garden? Â This may just have persuaded me.

Who can forget the room that launched a thousand dark bedrooms?

And brass bathroom fixtures?

They apparently had a deck off of the master bedroom:

The most blogged about closet in the history of blogging:

Beckett’s famous striped-ceiling room now outfitted with a bed instead of a crib:

A previously unseen bathroom:

Every single light fixture in this house is one I would buy for my own house. This is the only house I’ve ever come across where that was the case.

In case you were wondering what was on the bottom level of the house (like I was), here’s your answer:

a media room.

Maybe it’s because of the circumstances but it makes me sad to see this house on the market. But I’m sure it will make some new family very happy. And if you’re in the market for a $3.75M house in Brooklyn (isn’t everyone?), the listing is here.

Thank you!!

It’d be far easier to leave a husband than this incredibly home!
Happy Thanksgiving to you on Thursday Ally x
Stunning home..really love the way its done and the color palette. May much laughter and love fill its blank walls and empty halls soon.
This house is absolutely stunning – I agree with you, it’s sad to see it in the market, but I’m sure it will make another family very happy.
Warm hugs to you.
Makes me sad too. I think it is such a wonderful space with so much personality. It seemed like a fun house for a family. Can only wish them well and hope another family has great times there.
I didn’t see a fridge in the kitchen or in the rooms next to the kitchen. Surely there must be a fridge. Right?
My guess is it’s in the room to the left of the stove.
Love this house!!! There isn’t much in there I don’t like. I’m with on the antlers. What a great house!!! Some family will be super happy soon.
love, love and love.
I’m still in shock that the price is what it is- would have thought that glorious house {in NY no less} would be worth 3x that much.
I think it’s about right for the neighborhood. If it were Manhattan, it would definitely be a lot more.
There are so many “famous” pictures of this house.. I loved seeing the new shots too!
Love everything about this house – I’ll even take the antlers and yes, the closet is beyond amazing!!
Oh course, I love her house, just like everyone else. By the way, I tried to leave a comment on Houzz today, but the site would not let me post. I’ll try again tomorrow!
This house has great bones, style and well lived. the outdoor space is fabulous. I lived with my family in a townhouse while in Georgetown.I loved the feeling of being in an urban environments and yet lead a family life with all the comforts of a house. Just came upon your blog via Vicky Archer, will read more and become a follower
I am so incredibly obsessed with this house, if only I could buy it!
This House!!! It goes down as one of my Top 10! Amazing. Went crazy pinning to my Pinterest boards…
Thanks!
The design of the house should go to the hall of fame of best houses in the world!
