A bit behind the times, I recently learned from Real Estalker that indie darling Parker Posey's three bedroom East Village co-op went on the market in late October for $1.175 million. Putzing around on New York interior designer Rafael de Cárdenas's site, I discovered photos of the apartment, which has clearly been updated since early real-estate shots were taken. Don't get me wrong, the place is beautiful, unique, and all that you'd expect from a hip, indie actor; but, something about her exposed brick walls and uncovered floors reminds me of an Urban Outfitters product shot. It's got an artsy, bohemian, Hollywood Regency look, but not much creative clutter; it's sparse like a movie set. Rumor has it this pad has sold. But would you live in it? Tell me what you think after checking out these photos.

Lovely house
1I love the big windows, exposed brick walls, and hardwood floor, but I think that so much more could have been done with this place. It has such great features. The place just seems cold. I would prefer a more cozy homey feel.
2I like it...
3i like the brick walls and hardwood floors..decorating could have been done differently but coming from CA(atleast where im from) where there arent many places with walls like that I REALLY like it!
4I love the juxtaposition of the cold brick and hard floors with the girly floral wallpaper and velvet upholstery. I'm sure the creative clutter was just put away for sales purposes. I have to imagine Parker Posey has plenty of carefully selected knick knack in her life. Can I move it and put my carefully selected clutter out on display?
5Ooh, I really like it. I agree with vjgun, I'm sure the clutter was just put away for the purpose of these photos.
6oh my god, what a great style. It reminds me of an Anthropologie catalog. I love that wallpaper, and the whole place looks very liveable.
7is that 1.175 million a typo? it seems extremely cheap for a 3 bedroom in the east village! i live in nyc and i've heard of apts that weren't as nice selling for much more.
8I love the bathroom...that tub just seems to scream a candle lit bath
9This is amazing! And I love Parker Posey!
10It's a million times nicer than my place and I'm living here, so definitely, I'd live there. If I had millions of dollars to spend casually. I love the brick wall and the floors.
11My god, it's completely gorgeous - agree that the price sounds like a typo. Otherwise, I'd scrape up every penny from everyone I know to afford it. 3 bedrooms is huge - here in London, flats like that, that well placed would go for more like $3m.
12love it!
13I wonder if she had help decorating this? She seems to have a good sense of fashion when dressing herself that doesn't really ever look like a stylist did it (or at least I would like to think this). I remember when her style was featuring in Lucky mag, she made it out like she shopped for herself, including lots of stuff from H&M. Thanks for the peak into her house. How great is Real Estalker to let us all spy on the other side of life! I dig it.
14Ok, she did have decorating help now that I read closer and checked the Rafael de Cárdenas site.
