Tasteful friends & gurlfriends. Liv Tyler's West Village house.

Thank you for posting this, OP. Really is a beautiful home. I like pocket doors too. The pink glass is nice.

Love the pocket doors. I appreciate that she had the interiors completely redesigned and I really like the skylight (although less wild about all of the pink glass).

The fluffiness primarily seems to be for her kids?

Beautiful!

She seems like such a lovely person. Her home is gorgeous.

All the rooms are too small. She has her daddy's $, so there's no reason for her to live in a shoe.

Most of it is not for me, especially all the pink and the white fluff, but she seems quite sweet and thoughtful, and she’s grown as an adult with the house.

And I also love all the pocket doors. And the garden is wonderful.

Bonus points for taking us to the basement, her favorite place in the house, as well as the attic.

Queens adore pocket doors!

I personally loathe pocket doors.

Pocket doors are fun. Plus, they allow spaces to flow nicely. I’d have most of my doors in my house house as pockets, but, alas, I have none.

The house seemed surprisingly undecorated, but homey and personal. And she seemed completely lovely and adorable.

She seems like a very happy lady,and her home is so warm and personal. I love the fact she likes a more cozy space instead of those gigantic homes we see so often.

I'm surprised she's lived in the same place since she was 24! Agree with everyone that she seems very sweet and happy and comes across as unpretentious. The house is a definite home.

I watched this yesterday and this needed a thread. Hands down the best house tour I've ever seen. I thought she was kind of trashy before, but I was so wrong. She is classy as fuck.

She's adorable. And the house is fantastic.

Returning to this thread, I was just thinking how, with a lot of these houses we look at on here, how most of these people never have to worry about the cost of things. They just do whatever they want. They never have to say, OK, I'll live with this for now and fix it in a few years time, the way most people have to.

Love the house. Most celebs her age have moved about a dozen times in the time she's been in that one house.

[quote]Most celebs her age have moved about a dozen times

Usually back and forth between New York and L.A. Neither place ever fulfilling them.

Love this house. And she's ethereal.

Considering that she has almost every privilege available - money, beauty, the power of celebrity - she still comes across as kind and generous. I am jealous of her house and bank account but I don't hate her for having them.

Amazing how normal and nice she turned out to be, considering her insane upbringing.

So was it all dads money? Do her siblings live that well? That’s $15-$20 million house!

Her driver's license said Rungren so I don't know how much Steven gave her. Todd and Bebe had their own money, not Aerosmith money, but still.

I picture Mia living somewhere equally nice. Liv just made all the money herself.

Overall, I love it. I like that she enjoys color, and isn't afraid of a bit of whimsy here and there. And while, yes, it's worth a fortune, she had interior practically built from scratch, but it still doesn't look like some of those those over-the-top, sprawling mansions in the hills above LA, or high-rise condos in NYC. Just an old-fashioned family home. I thought she was sweet and lovely.

I used to live on this same block as Liv in the West Village. We would say hello to each other on the street after a while since it was clear we both lived there, but nothing more, and she was always very nice.

Then we ran into each other at a party and realized we had a mutual friend in common. After that we would stop and actually have a conversation on the street with each other.

While not intellectual, she’s also not dumb by any means and has a certain level of sophistication and knowledge about a fairly wide range of things simply as a result of the life she has led and everything she’s been exposed to such as working with Bertolucci, etc.

Anyway, she really is a lovely and very unpretentious person. I saw her interact with fans a few times as well and she was genuinely friendly with them, never made snarky comments after they left, etc.

Physically she is gorgeous! Even better looking than on film and in pictures. I was never invited into her house though.

Unpretentious and lovely. Her driver's license pic is gorgeous.

Love it all but the pink, but it's not my house. It completely fits her. She's lovely.

She's only worth 20 mil, her father is worth 130 mil. I don't understand how he has worked steadily for the past 40 years and be worth so little.

Steven Tyler is a funny meme.

Drugs, r28. Lots and lots of drugs.

I like that she made sure the kids were out of the house before they filmed this. They're not cute accessories. Other stars, take note!

This is called subway tile.

Here's the written article for those Marys who don't like videos.

Why I feel the need to accommodate them, I'm not sure.

But what you can do with an article as opposed to a video is link pics and make comments.

One thing I did not like very much as it flashed by, were the black cabinets in the kitchen. I hate black anything in decor. Any color would have been better....apart from grey.

I don't get stainless steel appliances with brass trim. But at this point, who am I to critique Liv Tyler?

She refers to a type of wallpaper as dagonnet. Never heard of that, and tried looking it up, but i am clearly way off my spelling. Could someone fill me in? History of it, how it's created, etc.

r36, it's de Gournay wallpaper.

Thanks R37!

R36.

Love Liv, and wouldn't expect her home to be any less gorgeous. She is a Cancer, after all.

She said she bought it in her late twenties R22, before Manhattan prices had become utterly insane. I'm assuming she bought it around the time she did Lord of the Rings, which I'm sure she made a pretty penny on. I doubt her dad has ever been helping with her money.

*early twenties, I meant

R22 did you miss the part where she bought it 21 years ago ? She had her own money from films.

She's lucky her mother lied when she was born and claimed Todd Rundgren was her biological father. She had at least a decade or so of life before she found out her real bio father was Steven Tyler. Steven Tyler was a major drug addict when she was born. Not having his influence until much later when he had cleaned up to a degree worked greatly in her favor.

Still reeling at r6 calling the house a "shoe" as if it's tiny.

Maybe there are more Midwestern DLers in McMansions here than I'd assumed.

In general, I liked the house. IIRC, she said that the kitchen was on a different floor than the living areas. (Seems like it's a 3- or 4-story unit?) She said that that was a conscious decision (putting the kitchen on a different floor.) I would prefer kitchen on same floor as living areas. The basement, including the laundry room and guest room were creepy, IMO. That guest room did not look inviting.

Great house. She had her own money and probably got it at a steal looking at how dilapidated it was when she got. She saw what it could be and did. Good for her.

I'd say at least half of Manhattan townhouses have the kitchen below on the garden level. That was the original configuration. The main floor is usually a front and a rear parlor. On the garden level below it's usually the formal dining room in front and kitchen in the rear.

Watching this at first I assumed it was Brooklyn. Liv Tyler, she's just, so Brooklyn.

Liv is at the Venice Film Festival this week and looks great!

A bit too feminine in some of the touches, but beautifully well done. Maybe a bit on the conservative side, but classic and tasteful.

I honestly wouldn't have expected it from her.

For R25 - is this Charles Street? I used to live on Charles - I'm speculating from the outside - it has been years since I lived there. Or Perry?

I lived at 155 Perry. Was just remembering this earlier today.

Perry street is, IMO, the most beautiful street in the village. I lived on the other side from you on Charles. Beautiful also, but not the same as Perry.

Hello Kitty meets old lady.

R49 it’s West 11th Street

I love it. Love everything, especially the kitchen where a kitchen ought to be in a townhouse!

She didn't show us the dining room which I'm sure is also lovely. I'm so jealous, I'd move in tomorrow.

I thought she was living in London now.

Crazy that she's stayed in the same residence for 20 or however many years. No celebrities do that anymore, they pick up and move every few years.

[quote]I thought she was living in London now.

Clearly, NOT.

Her baby daddy has a house in London. She splits her time between NYC and London. She also owns a country house in the Hudson River Valley and goes to a family house in Maine occasionally.

She had a house in Los Feliz, but she sold it.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

Supposedly the baby daddy is bisexual, but who knows

That was delightful. She seems really sweet. I love her wallpapers and her magnolia tree. Her voice is so soothing.

[quote] Pocket doors are fun

Are you an adult? You need to get out more

She’s a love. And her house is pretty.

I like her and I like this house.

She addressed the Oxford Union in Jan '18 and talks about just having moved to England and to be currently moving into her new house. Maybe she moved back to NYC, since.

[quote] Pocket doors are fun.... Are you an adult? You need to get out more

Maybe you should stay home more and appreciate your doors. Pocket doors are indeed fun.

I loved her Oxford talk R65, but it did show her vocabulary limitations—she cannot come up with a synonym for "interesting" to save her life. That either tells me that she's not well-read, not well formally educated, or both. I still love her though.

Looks like their house in London is very grand.

Pocket doors are fantastic. Why? Because they create space, seamlessly. No big, clunky *doors* swinging open and shut. Some small spaces don't even have room for regular doors. I have a few pocket doors and am grateful for them. All doors should be pocket doors!

Maybe she's thinking of selling the NY house, and this feature is a showcase. She seems to really love it, though.

I find your observation very uninteresting.

Her husband or BF whatever also has an Instagram account and posts nice photos and vids.

Look at this!! (if you are able)

In London she's friends with Stella McCartney, like GOOP (and look who else turns up in the clip!)

Considering the mess she could have been - all the insane adults around her, she is so lovely and normal seeming. Pretty lady and nice safe looking, lovely house.

Per public records that can be found on websites like StreetEasy, Liv paid just over $2.5 million for the house in 2001. You might have to be registered with the website to see the link, sorry for any hassle.

I wonder how much the gut remodel cost?

A charming woman in her charming home; enjoyed this tour.

R73 Stella McCartney's five-head is a solar panel of botulism.

She was unexpectedly charming, and the house is beautiful. Personal, with the personal quality that comes from being lived in and loved. You have to like someone who is unpretentious enough to show the attic.

But you can't see the cedar closet cause it's full of crap. Very cute.

Sold!

Yeah, there were movers there a few weeks ago when I walked by. Made me a little sad as she was such a nice person to see around the neighborhood and was always friendly. Although she’s pretty much been in London all the time for the past two years anyway.

This cannot be!

Someone has hypnotized her ... she LOVED that house!

[quote] I was never invited into her house though.

For reasons that are well-known to you.

I think it’s perfect.

The whole time I watched the video, I had flashbacks to the psychopathically cold and cavelike Ellen DeGeneres house. Our surroundings really do reflect our psyche, don’t they?
