Emily Blunt and John Krasinski list NYC townhouse

Emily Blunt and husband John Krasinski have put their stunning Brooklyn townhouse on the market.

The couple have had the property for just under two years – purchasing it in late 2015 for $6 million – and are offloading it because they don’t spend enough time there.

The actors are asking for $8 million 5,200-square-foot, seven bedroom Park Slope home according to the Wall Street Journal.

In the short time they’ve owned the home the duo did some renovations but kept most of the architectural details including crown moldings, stained glass windows and millwork.

Built in the French Renaissance Revival style, the four-story property has a detailed limestone facade.

‘The house is from the early 1900s, and I’m a history nerd so it was really exciting to me,’ Krasinski, 37, said.

Each room features a neutral decor with grey or white walls and there are several fireplaces throughout the home.

'The house is so special—someone who can spend every night there should have it.' Krasinski told Wall Street Journal

Those who like plenty of light when they are cooking up some delicacies might be particularly taken with the kitchen, which has a skylight that runs the length of the room, and there are floor-to-ceiling windows. 

The home also has a small paved yard trimmed with a cedar fence.

‘We’ve been nomads for a while now, but that’s the nature of the business,’ Krasinski told the Wall Street Journal. ‘The house is so special—someone who can spend every night there should have it.’

The Office star said that the family travels too much to enjoy the property. 

At the moment the couple’s two daughters Hazel and Violet, ages three and one, are still young enough to travel with them, Krasinski said.
