What happened

David Harbour quickly, and quietly, rushed to sell his renovated ‘P—y palace’ for $2.7M at the time of his split Before Lily Allen turned David Harbour’s private life into one of the most talked-about divorce albums of the decade, the “Stranger Things” actor…

Why it matters

It started with a discreet off-market sale of the downtown Manhattan apartment that would become ground zero for the couple’s very public unraveling.

Common ground

Property records obtained by The Post show that 298 Elizabeth St., unit 2 — a one-bedroom, 1.5-bath condo in the heart of Nolita — closed in August 2025 for $2.7 million, nearly eight years after Harbour purchased it for $2 million in September 2017.
