Lily Allen and David Harbour have sold their marital home.

The former couple initially listed the property in Brooklyn, New York, for $7.9 million in October but according to Carl Gambino Real Estate's Instagram page, they have now found a buyer, who will pay $7.3 million for the Victorian-inspired brownstone home.

According to the New York Post, city records show Lily - who has daughters Ethel, 13, and 12-year-old Marnie with first husband Sam Cooper - and David paid $3.3 million for the townhouse back in 2021.

The house featured heavily in the lyrics of the Smile singer's confessional latest album West End Girl.

In the title track, she sings: "Now I'm looking at houses with four or five floors / And you've found us a brownstone, said 'You want it? It's yours'.

"So we went ahead and we bought it / Found ourselves a good mortgage / Billy Cotton got sorted / All the furniture ordered / I could never afford this / You were pushing it forward / Made me feel a bit awkward / Made me feel a bit awkward."

It was revealed earlier this month that the 40-year-old singer is planning to move back to London following her split from the Stranger Things star.

A source told MailOnline: "Lily is flashing the cash and she wants to find the perfect home. She is starting afresh after her split and wants the right property for herself and her two daughters. She's looking at many places to find the right one."

 

Lily bought a West London flat last year but plans to rent that out and settle in either Notting Hill or Primrose Hill.

She is reportedly working with a £5 million budget, thanks to the success of her break-up album, West End Girl.

Meanwhile, Lily hints on the album that David was unfaithful to her and admitted her experiences in her second marriage gave her a better understanding of the "pain" first husband Sam felt in their relationship.

She told The Observer newspaper: "[I've learned there are no] baddies and goodies in a marriage but, having done things that were not very nice in my first marriage, I have a better idea now of the pain I may have inflicted.

"I've learned how horrible it is to be on the receiving end of that."

Lily has found getting divorced "devastating" and has left her struggling to trust other people.

She said: "It's just sort of devastating, really. It keeps you up at night and costs a huge amount of money and just goes on and on and on. And I hate feeling like I can't trust anyone. But there's something about dealing with an ex-partner and lawyers that creates an environment of feeling like you can't trust anybody or anything."
