Actor Neil Patrick Harris also lived in New York, in the Harlem neighbourhood. If you want to discover what this beautiful and original apartment has to offer, read on.
Inside David Harbour’s loft in New York City
The American actor, when he was looking for his first permanent home in 2019, was clear from the start that he wanted a loft apartment in Manhattan. This says a lot about the personality of David Harbour, who, unlike other celebrities, did not have in his plans to acquire a gigantic mansion full of luxuries. That said, these are the most remarkable rooms of his loft:
David Harbour Library
In his spare time, the actor who brings Jim Hopper to life is an avid reader, as evidenced by the spectacular library he can enjoy in his own home. One of the few corridors of the apartment is completely and utterly dominated by the presence of a gigantic bookshelf crammed with books.
In fact, this shelf has several floors, which cannot be reached except with a wooden ladder that is supported on one of the shelves and slides from left to right with ease. Among the most outstanding titles, we find “Don Quixote”, no more and no less.
David Harbour’s kitchen
The kitchen is located in the central area of the loft, which means that it is attached to the living room, with no wall separating the two spaces. David Harbour is particularly fond of the table he chose to sit at for lunch: a table made entirely of wood whose design reminds him of a vintage piece of furniture from a rural house next to a farmhouse.
When he worked with his designer on the kitchen style, , he had to establish as a point of reference the colour of the furniture on which his stoves rest: a very characteristic dark green that he instantly fell in love with.

What the American actor values most about this space, which is right next to his kitchen and private office, is the sofa.A large and very comfortable piece of furniture, made with a material that David Harbour specifically chose He said in an interview that he had not been able to enjoy many comfortable sofas in his life.
It does not have a TV, but a large removable screen and a projector to watch series, movies and even news in cinema mode. Harbour confesses that he watches a lot of television, but mainly what he sees on Netflix interests him.
David Harbour’s bedroom
Harbour himself emphasises that his place of rest and relaxation is that it is quite simple, but because it needs no more. He only enters this room to sleep and, on some occasions, to read a book in the only armchair in the room or to practice pilates. The truth is that this room is quite minimalist.
The headboard of the bed is decorated with a very original painting of what appears to be the sunrise on the savannah, a popular scene in the world of painting, but done more abstractly. Finally, with the help of a simple button, you can lower and raise the blinds at will to keep out a large amount of light, both natural and artificial, that is so characteristic of New York.
How did David Harbour come to this house?
Believe it or not, finding this loft took the actor who plays Jim Hopper in ‘Stranger Things three years. When she finally found what she was looking for, she had to work immediately with professional designers to renovate the apartment, as it was old and neglected. It is a simple loft of 130 square meters that was not used since the 70s… until he arrived and transformed it into a home with a very cosy and pleasant atmosphere.
