- Today we take you uptown to the neighborhood of Harlem in Manhattan where we’re welcomed inside the brownstone home of Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka. The charming couple worked with Balsam Hill to decorate their home for the holidays and nearly every corner of the house has been decked out in the style of the season. Neil and David take us from room to room, sharing their sense of style, honing in on the artwork that resonates with them, and relating the stories behind their eclectic possessions - including an animatronic talking parrot!

Inside Neil Patrick Harris's Captivating Brownstone Home | Open Door - Розваги
Neil and his husband :
- We should get a bar..
- We should TOTALLY get a bar !!
And they did it... Ted will be so jealous
is it bad I understood that in 2 seconds
and call it puzzles
@@liyah9652 Sure !!
Liyah Uy “Why’s it called puzzles?”
Qlean that’s the puzzle
it's so refreshing to see a celebrity's house that's filled with quirky things they like instead of the usual monochromatic, super modernist and minimalist style
Some celebrities have houses like hospital waiting rooms it's horrid
Totally agree...
still waiting for him to show his storm trooper figure and his gigantic wall-size tv
@@Orilexify Honestly! It’ll be entirely marble and white like how does anyone actually live there?!
so many celebrity houses look like nobody lives there
I love how they're obviously married and in love but also each others' best friends it's such goals.
I love that it’s not the average rich house you see from other celebs, it actually has a lot of charm. If I'm ever rich and even if not, I want my house to be as charming as this one.
It might not LOOK like the average rich house but it is most definitely expensive, I remember when they bought that house it made the news because I think it was the most expensive home sold in Harlem (at that time) and they bought it for almost $4 million dollars. Overall? They definitely overpaid.
@@paolagetsbored I think they were more talking how most celebrities have like big marble mansions or super modern house full of all - white furnitures while this is much more eccentric
I love how his partner talks just as much and just as confident as he does.
Aimee Drews I mean he’s an actor too so it makes sense. He’s been in a few how I met your mother episodes
@@vcsurfergirl oh wow I didn't know that
Aimee Drews right? It’s pretty cool
Aimee Drews he was lily’s ex
@@vcsurfergirl I thought he retired from acting to focus on a culinary career and spend more time with his children.
still waiting for him to show his storm trooper figure and his gigantic wall-size tv
Gibber he ll always be the straight player in my books
I remember when he took I think it was Robin, there and he switched the tv on. She said: My eyes hurt. Barney replied with a huge smile: yes, and it doesn't go away :)
@@Tiger-rw3od I remember the episode, though I think that was lily not robin
@@gdfgaming9378 Robin would have just thrown on a pair of sunglasses and responded with ‘cool bro’.
I didn't see a tv at all even in tbe upstairs living room. Weird
This whole video is the proof that gay couples give each other the best anniversary gifts ever
And have very good taste for decor.
Whhhhhhhat? Do you ever stop and think what these people do?
@@googleuser1036 living like whe all do eating like whe all do pay bils and so on
What? Living like we all do? Not Hardly. Nasty is Nasty, they are always on the prowl for acceptance BECAUSE their Conscience is at work. Discernment is a Blessing.
@@googleuser1036 they’re just a married couple with two beautiful children, living in an amazing home, and who are happier than you’ll ever be. Leave them alone 😙
Once the lights go out, this place is the perfect set for every horror movie...ever.
Ever! ( I'm actually having Get Out/ Skeleton key vibes :) )
Fr. Taxidermied monkeys? A parrot animatronic? They are begging to be haunted.
Damn Barney and Scooter are living the dream
😂😂😂
also Lilly and Sandy Rivers
OMG OF COURSE! I never made that connection! Omg I feel like an idiot
@@beth.darvell xD
How I met your dads real ending 😂😂
Love how the kids are the center of their universe.
No, they are not. Their Christmas tree is not the largest nor is it on the main floor, but a secondary one where they have to live surrounded by many spooky things.
Victor Manuel I’d say spooky is pretty relative, those kids are growing up with that stuff around them and no doubt find it normal. Also, from the looks of it the second story is likely where they spend most of their family time with the first floor being more for entertaining guests
@@Delephene Finding something normal because of an "insistence therapy" does not mean such a thing is good for their lives. We are social beings, and the so naturally weak children will accept anything around them in order to be accepted in their very first social group, their family (whatever it is). Children who grow among terrorist surely find it "normal", but that doesn't mean it is good. I see common sense, mental health, mind equilibrium and a clear capability to see between good and evil are slowly becoming rara avis in the NWO.
@@victormanuel369 Did you really compare their family life to that of terrorists? I can't with people...
@@sahralennyIt is an exaggeration in order to help the understanding of what it's being exposed. It is not something that should be taken literally. I can't with people...
Ted would be so impressed by this house😂
He'd prolly freak out at Barney Marrying Scooter first😂😂😂
Theen he'd be proud
because he's not that good as an architect haha
@@ndanumulatya6349 oh my God...that's scooter🙀
@@mattieasems6902 Duh
Who's Ted
they match each other’s energy so well lmao
Imagine being so rich you just have random gift cards to give away
of all the crazy things in their home THATS your rich fantasy?? 😂
Crazy thing is, as rich and high profile people, they probably get that stuff for free.
That stuck out to me because they're likely giving them to other rich people who don't need gift cards lol
I wouldn't consider myself rich... However, I do have an envelope full of different gift cards, along with a bunch of birthday, congratulations, thank you and unthemed greeting cards which I keep in a drawer in my office. I often forget friends, employees and clients' birthdays, or have short notice for an event. It is a great way to be prepared in advance.
@Brutal Honesty Yes, I agree. Good for me.
This house screams: IM RICH AND DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH MY MONEY. and I f-ing Love it.
I'm here for it 🙌🏽
Exactly
I was thinkibg that I'll be rude to comment but them I had to say it.. it was just moneyyyy
They didn't even go through the whole house! i worked there for a day for a job and it's 4 floors of beauty, the basement floor is magical all memorabilia.
Better then waste it for +20 cars and so on...
And kids your Uncle Barney married Scooter, your Aunt Lilys ex boyfriend from highschool.
😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
Legendary
😂😂👏👏
Aunt Lily married Sandy Rivers, former aunt Robin's boss, and aunt Robin married Blauman
I love it. It's not exactly my style but I love how the home reflects them and their quirkiness. It's also warm, fun and different. So many of these homes are the same.

Ted would be so proud that Barney is finally showing interest in architecture lol
😂😂😂😂
They literally live in a museum with a bar 😂
These guys are so adorable. I love how thoughtful the gifts to each other are.
Despite how much this home costs, this is the most warm and inviting celebrity home ive seen thus far.
Neil starred in Lemony Snicket, and his house is literally like the book. Insane
HIMYM
“This is Kanye...And here comes Jay Z.” 😂😂😂
I’m rolling.
I died at that parttt
yeh but are you really rolling?? are ya?? well????
I absolutely LOVE the apothecary table !!! Not only do guests sign the book but they get to open any drawer and get a small gift. How fun!!!
Love the humor and the art collection. Their "maximalist" style is quite different from our "minimalist" one, but very fun. Their kids are lucky to have such engaged and obviously loving parents.
disappointed the bar wasn't called puzzles
Sam Wilber why is it called puzzles?
You were disappointed it wasn't called puzzles but not disappointed they decided to call it by a blatant racist name.
@@robr7200 what? How is it racist? There are literal monkeys, has nothing to do with race. Do you know what a monkey bar is? It's a kids toy at a playground. Get over yourself
Its himym ref you dummy
Chuck R did you sprain something with this reach
Imagine having to dust that place.
Also imagine paying someone else to do it.
Their housekeeper is Mary Poppins, at least.
If they have THAT house, they have more than enough money to hire at least 5 cleaning ladies.
If u live in such an estate .u would have some extra to hire help..cv19 gonna help too....
@@meowlanfoo598 Someone still has to clean it, whether it's them or professionals. I don't envy them.
How wonderful to watch. This is a family that clearly loves each other and wants to share that happiness with whomever enters their home. I love it.
I would enjoy the quarantine in this house.
No kidding!
“Diorama?”
“Yeah!!!” *Immediately hits spouse lol
I kept saying "diorama, diorama" while they were battling it out and laughed when he finally said it! LOL
Lol omg their adorable and so fun with each other lol
Who would have known that they have more of “the captain” interior design vibes
Full circle lol
Kenia Herrera hahaha 😂
Good one
That flip book art with Neil and the kids is too perfect. What a great gift to give to your hubstser!
I love how Barney and Scooter turned into the best couple
Their house is so unique and collected yet also so homey
Imagine having these two as your dads and living in this house. That would be heaven 🙌
@Brutal Honesty YOU get some common sense, obviously you didn't understand the comment. This person is saying imagine living in this house as in it has so much character, art, playfulness. Not look at this 6 million dollar brownstone, dude.
Tuesday NO YOU GET SOME COMMON SENSE.
... show that comment to your parents :/
@@EngapsehT your point..?
@Brutal Honesty easy, tiger
I love how, excluding the gay part, he IS Barney Stinson
NPH is the "straightest" gay man ever.
Mr. Pete Channel is 75٪ away 2 the big time! Oof I might give that title to Matt Bomer❤️
@@lindam156 For a British equivalent, look to Luke Evans.
Neku Sakura I had to go Google this😱😱 Luke Evans is gaaaaaaaay. Wow
Have you guys never seen Harold and Kumar 3 Neil being gay is all a way to bring down chicks defenses so he can bone them.
I frickin' love this home, just full of personality and family, a true representation of them.
Love how they personalized the space. Everything has purpose and meaning and it’s interesting too!
Brutal Honesty full functioning hotel bar, drawers w/freebies for quests, piano that plays itself, peephole, “monkey bar”, flip book art, phonograph, talking animatronic parrot, family pictures, paper art-magic style, Disney haunted mansion stretching portrait, Micheal Sgoggin portrait, etc. More meaning than purpose, that I’ll grant u. Ha!
That flip book is something you’ll see in a horror movie: it’ll flip by itself then you’ll see some scary force manifest itself in the flip book. While that spooky gramophone plays.
Sounds like an awesome screenplay.
You forgot the possessed animatronic parrot
What about the haunted piano?
The first floor would actually be a great set for a horror movie
I'm usually a fan of minimalistic homes but I'm all for this vintage classy set up they have going on here! I love that each piece is unique to them, and that they know the stories. It's not just mindless collection of junk. Such a beautiful home.
It's a house filled to the brim with "junk." You really think they have a deep, meaningful connection to every piece of furniture and decor in that house?
They also have an amazing play room for their kids that they get re-organized. I love how versatile this home is.
Can’t get bore in their home, so many thing to play along
Bored not bore.
@@silversnow3186 That's why proofreading was invented.
*One of the best homes you've ever showcased! Simply because of the love, pride & taste that fills it. Thank you!!💞*
And the holiday spirit!
Doesn't even look like a home to me. 🤔
@@olivierl2172 Museum. A place to visit, not live. But that's just us. It's their place, they love it.
They’ve always been adorable together and had amazing chemistry. I don’t get tired of watching them and they are both super family-oriented, which is always adorable.
Their kids are so lucky. They seem like such fun and loving parents. 💙💙
"we got married in the year of the wood... Heheh" that's barney right there
i thought that's a Gone Girl reference
A lot of interesting things in their home, the monkeys are creepy to me lol.
Maggie Edwards agreed lol
I found they gave it style 😁
Maggie Edwards And the parrot.
They for sure look great in that house but agreed - I wouldn't want one near me :D
@@budgie4350 The parrot I liked lol
Kids, this is Scooter and Uncle Barney’s home.
They really give off that best friend vibe, I love it
The prize drawer is such a great idea but now I’m just picturing Charlize Theron using a Panera gift card 😂
The prize drawer is super weird to me. It feel like one would feel very inferior and indebted in that kind of situation.
It's probably free stuff they get from companies that they give to their nieces and nephews or something lol
I think it would be more fun if the prizes were really random and silly. Either way, it’s a fun idea. 😀
Omg I love the drawer gift idea!
I love these two together. I am a huge fan of Neil Patrick Harris he is so talented and just amazing. Their home is one of the best celebrity homes I've seen. Their bar is so beautiful and it actually looks like you've walked into a bar/pub. Absolutely beautiful home and beautiful couple.
OMG in love with the amount of art they have in their house, and all amazing. Completely in love with Neil.
Love their respect for art and support of living artists through commissioned work!
They are so fun! Their home is like a museum, I could just wander in there for hours.
Everything they showed was amazing, it had an old vibe to it that I just adore and it's full of really cool and neat things that I could spend hours looking at and then they had their more modern family space but still had a some wacky things there. It felt really comforting
😂 Love them!
Love that Piano and phonograph..
Nice and interesting home, I like the way how it tells a story... The empty Goodie Drawer and his expression of it being empty, had me laughing!😆
I knew when he used “ergo” instead of “therefore” that he had taste. Lol
Nah, he said "so ergo". That ain't classy at all!
Six-245 - the house says otherwise.
@@nedboase7909 knew*
TheJewelTheory Frankly, "ergo" is pretentious and archaic.
@@moonfall8972
You sound ergophobic.
Im like David. I don’t allow people to mess up my tree with colors that are not part of the year’s theme 😂
This is the most interesting house that AD has ever featured.
I bet they love giving tours:')
I love NPH. He is so loving and has the best husband. The brownstone is amazing although glad they are fortunate enough to have some other poor soul clean all the 'stuff'. Being a little OCD I cannot imagine the dust everywhere and upkeep. Still love them and love seeing the way one can tell how happy they are. Well deserved for such a wonderful couple.
Anyone else who thought of Friends, when they mentioned the apothecary cabinet ? : )
Yes!!
An apothecary table of yore
Klaudia Krywult i did!!!!!
It’s from Colonial times
SHE DOESNT LIKE POTTERY BARN???
Beautiful home, but I was hoping to see the kitchen.
Yes! I'm always drooling when David posts the awesome feasts he feeds his family on Instagram.
they've shown it here ua-cam.com/video/8wwON2ll1p0/v-deo.html
I am so glad I'm not the only one who felt this way!
No but i was hoping for their bathroom..
I think America is the best contempolary style of house designing I ve ever seen. Everyplaces are warm and always make you feel good.
Glad to see this channel. Thanks.
2:45 I loooove that kind of miniature walled in art, amazing.
I love how much of themselves is in their home.
It's a bit too "crowded" for me, even though it's made with beautiful taste.
Teïka D same its beautiful but i need some open space
it's new york
Yes. That's what was bothering me. Overwhelming. But beautiful.
I guess it was Christmas n the oveelrwhelmimg glitz juxtaposed with the busy interior made it *hard to breathe*..yea an idea residence should go with balance. .the Qi. .ying yang..greens n fresh air...
Maybe you should express yourself more respectful
I love that they LIVE with art--and their children have the chance to be surrounded by people who create and make dreams come true with their talent. That's the best thing you can do for your kids--and you don't have to be rich to do it, either. 🏡🏡🏡🏡
love the way they celebrate christmas very warmth and emotional
Neil and David are real people! I love it! This is the best one of these so far!!
it's lovely to see that there is always family spirit in every single thing in the house
So when I feel bad I open UA-cam and type Neil Patrick Harris. And I stop feeling bad and feel awesome. True Story.
These two are adorable. I love their home😍
I love all the different art they collect.
I just love this house. These two guys have depth.
They're such a lovely couple and they're house looks so beautiful and unique.
Love their house and their chemistry, happy family!
This was the PERFECT house to tour for the holidays! Thank you Neil and David!
Looking at the size of that house I'm guessing he got his hands on that baudalauire fortune 😂
EDIT: a series of unfortunate events fans will understand
I just started watching that. I'm season 3 episode 3.

I read all the books in 2017 and lemme just say LOLLLLLLLLL
Hahaha
Lmao
They're just too cute! Love their eclectic, but very artistic house!
Love how is partner talks just as much and just as confident as he does.
Must be so magical to be raised by these two! Their home is so amazing, filled with art, love, humor and cool kitsch!
I love that bar! Looks like such a cozy place to hang around with friends, just marvelous!
One of my favorite open doors! It’s contemporary but feels welcoming rather than bleak. Trying to manifest this for myself🧘🏻♀️
Your home is beautiful and fascinating. I love that you have so many personal touches. It has the warmth of a family home and not just staged.
4:26 This is the years "wood" chuckles
10:26 This are stage "nutcrackers" snickers
Neil your Barney is showing
*staged
I waited for this for sooo long!!! Such a beautiful couple living in an ever beautiful home ❤️
One of my favorite couples ever!
Imagine being a kid living there it's like a wonderland.
I LOVE IT
I love how the house is beautiful but still feels like a home! I see so many of these homes that just looks like a building but this has so much character! I love it!
Always loved NPH, now I love his hubby, too. Great couple, beautiful home. Thanks for the tour.
Thank you both for showing all of the unique and lovely things in your place. Very entertaining.
"It's Kanye" XD
I like how the cc said it was "classic upbeat music" lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This house is holiday goals ✨😩👌🏻
My favorite couple, by far. Their home tour did not disappoint. It's a holiday treat I'll put on repeat. Merry XOXOXMas!
What an incredible home and lovely family. The more I see of NPH the more I like him!
Their home is so much fun!
Thank you for sharing✌💛☺
this is one of the most thoughtful houses i have seen.
my jaw dropped at that insane knife sculpture-such talent
This is totally AWESOME, such a nice welcoming family home with some quirky touches and amazing architecture. Makes a change from huge mansions which are huge and overbearing. 😀
This actually made me cry happy tears. Just beautiful.
