Neil Patrick Harris scores buyer for $7M Harlem home

“How I Met Your Mother” star Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka have found a buyer for their historic Harlem brownstone, Gimme can report exclusively.

The five-story home listed last August for $ 7.3 million. But it was pulled off the market following a storm that caused some water damage.

While the furniture was being redone, brokers and buyers kept circling ⁠— with multiple offers.

The buyer ⁠— a local New Yorker in love with the house and the ‘hood, we hear ⁠— is in contract for more than $ 7.1 million, sources say.

It’s a record for the neighborhood and yet another example of the Harlem boom is having.

Harris bought the five-bedroom, 20-foot-wide home in 2013 for close to $ 3.6 millionas Gimme reported exclusively at the time.

The massive five-story home at 2036 Fifth Ave. is 8,000 square feet. Built in 1908, its original details like— like moldings, millwork, dark wood, a restored wood staircase and high ceilings ⁠— remain intact even after updates by New York architect Jeffrey Povero and LA designer Trace Lehnhoff.

Quirky new details include a top-floor office hidden behind a trick door that opens when you press the eye of a magician on a vintage poster. Spirit like Jimmy Fallon’s Gramercy Park penthouse, this home comes with a vintage bar. In this case, it’s sourced from an old hotel and restored with new appliances, plumbing and electrical, including two built-in taps.

There’s also a formal dining room, library, music room, wine cellar, three fireplaces and a playroom.

The outdoor space includes a furnished, irrigated and landscaped roof deck with an outdoor gas grill, and a dining table for eight under a wood pergola, as well as a Jacuzzi. Altogether, the outdoor space totals more than 2,000 square feet of terraces, gardens and decks.

The home ⁠— especially the chef’s kitchen ⁠— is also recognizable to readers of Burtka’s cookbook, “Life is a Party,” says broker Vickey Barron, who is the co-listing broker with Pacey Barron, both of Compass.

“They have so many great memories here and there are great images of the house in the book. It represents what the house meant for both of them raising— raising their family and entertaining here, ”Vickey Barron said.

The couple and their twins, Gideon and Harper -⁠— along with their dogs, Gidget, Spike and Ella ⁠— are spending more of their time in their Hamptons home these days. That four-bedroom home in East Hampton sits on 13.5 acres and is adjacent to another 10-acre reserve. They bought it for $ 5.5 million in 2017.

“They simply do not need two large homes,” Vickey Barron said.

Perhaps a city pied-à-terre is next in the works.
