Jenna Lyons Home for Sale


It's no secret J.Crew's top lady Jenna Lyons, a fashion and career icon to style bloggers and fashionistas everywhere, is going through a supposedly messy divorce from her husband. One fallout of the separation is that their gorgeous 1880s townhome in Brooklyn's Park Slope neighborhood is already on the market. Selling for 3.75 million, the four-story, fully restored home has 7 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, and a fully landscaped backyard with terrace off the master bedroom.

Though Jenna's home has been photographed and featured in magazines over the past few years, it is nice getting to see some of the other highlights and angles. I am particularly intrigued by the 360-degree view of the living and dining room, as it offers details I have not seen elsewhere. A few items of note: the pair of crystal chandeliers centered in the two rooms, the wall of antlers accenting the soft grey wall, and the original crown molding and arched doorways framing the chic space. Getting a peek at the outdoor spaces, media room, and front facade also rounds out the more complete view of this at one-time happy home.

    Not to mention she is leaving him for another woman supposedly. Oh the gossip! I love the molding and details you mentioned. Not so sure about that open bathroom, I need a bit more privacy than that. The yard is especially lovely.

    Agree, it's definitely nice to see another viewpoint of the home. i like seeing how her son's nursery evolved into a little boy's room.

    Eeek! It gets more and more stunning every time I see it. I especially loved seeing photos of the yard and more details to the kitchen, bathroom, and media room. I'm absolutely smitten with the striped walls in her son's room. They're so cheerful! I think I could get used to waking up to that kind of sunshine every day:)

    I'm seriously obsessed with this house. Perfect in every way. While I'm disappointed that it's become the casualty of a divorce, it serves as a lesson for the rest of us: even the perfect home cannot make a perfect family.

    Wow, what an amazing place! Pretty much perfect. I didn't know she was getting divorced, too bad. I wonder what kind of new space she's going to wind up in.

    Wowee! I'm in love with all of these interiors (and exteriors too), especially the foyer (that molding!) and the sitting area by the bay windows. Can't imagine ever wanting to sell...
