Since Lipstick Jungle has been reinstated, Brooke Shields and her producer/writer hubby Chris Henchy are anti-ing up for some new NYC digs. According to Big Time, the couple have signed a contract to purchase a vacant Greek Revival house in New York's West Village. The townhouse, which has been on the market for $5.6 million, has four apartments on four floors, with original parlor floor details, "eight fireplaces, original wide plank floors, original mantles and moldings," and a large, South-facing garden, according to the listing.
The 3,314-square-foot, 18-room, 5.5-bath building has four kitchens and was built in 1905. Although the place may need some renovation (what to do with four kitchens?), the original architectural details alone — exposed brick walls, ornate fireplace mantles, tin tile ceiling — as well as the built-in cabinetry, would be enough to justify some renovation costs. Shields also owns a home in Los Angeles’s Pacific Palisades area, as well as a co-op in SoHo, where she'll presumably reside until her new place is up and running.

I would do anything to live in the village. I love the neighborhood.
1omg the color of her little girls hair is to die for
2love it; i would die for this place!
3I love brownstones, but this one leaves a lot to be desired. The crown molding and ceilings are nice.
4This place surely has POTENTIAL! I hope Chris & Brooke showcase it on AD after remodeling. Hope hope hope! I also hope they don't go hipster on it and modernise the heck out...please don't make it artsy-farsty-westsy-villagesy. This home is BEGGING to be brought back to its original glory with all the modern conveniences (not the frivolous ones f-course). Please, Brooke, listen to me: go over to Woddy Allen's place (recently showcased on AD) for some ideas. That is a picture= perfect inspirational NY place for an American family with kids
5Did I say Woddy? lol Woooody Allen, I meant. fair enough, I need to sleep now.
