Drew Barrymore Spent Two Years Renovating an 18th-Century Estate in Upstate New York – Now, She's Selling It for $5 Million

What happens when a rare legacy estate meets great interior design instincts, some fresh paint, and a sprinkling of celebrity charm? Drew Barrymore's house in Harrison, New York, of course! After spending the last two years renovating the property, Drew is ready to sell the home for $4,995,000.

Listed by Kori Sassower at Compass, the 1747-built property is a gem of architecture and design. Working in collaboration with Christina Nielsen Design, Drew transformed the Westchester County property into a modern, yet charming 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom home. The property also features a guest cottage and a pool house, offering ample room to spread out and settle in. Its decor is a stunning mix of modern cottage with a warm, Arts and Crafts vibe interspersed.

Let's take the tour. Here you will see many of the spaces designed by Drew, with upgraded features to reflect a modern lifestyle. I've also curated an edit of products to help you replicate the design in your own home, in case you aren't ready to relocate to Harrison.

Recreate Dining Nook at Home

Moving past the dining room, Drew Barrymore's living room is one of the most striking features of this property. I love the blue and red color palette she's chosen, but it's the neutral bones and high ceilings that really make it pop.

Is there anything more charming than a wood kitchen? This one exudes warmth with Drew-designed built-ins. It would be the perfect place to display antique pottery and stoneware.

We can't believe a bathroom can be so stunning. This tiny space packs a large design punch with the wooden details, brass light fixture, and pink sink. It's romantic, yet practical.

Sometimes, light is an element of design, and this is undoubtably the case in this cozy reading corner. The high ceilings and large windows make good use of the large property, highlighting the beautifully private outdoor space. It's so dreamy.

Cottage decorating ideas are in no short supply in this home, and this pretty chaise longue adds yet another. The blue walls and brass appliances make it look elevated, no matter the decor.

Drew Barrymore is known for her excellent design sensibility, and this property reflects her considered, vintage-forward approach. At every turn, there is something beautiful to be observed.
