NEIL Patrick Harris and David Burtka are back where it all began.
The happy couple, who first met in New York, opened up their newly renovated Harlem brownstone to Architectural Digest for the magazine’s March issue.
Harris, 41, and Burtka, 39, recently moved into the five-story, late-19th-century townhouse, which took a year to renovate, with their 4-year-old twins, Gideon and Harper, after a decade out west.
New York based architect Jeffery Povero of Povero and Company collaborated with Los Angeles-based designer Trace Lehnhoff on the building’s renovation.
The move east was just part of a busy 2014 for the couple, one in which they wed, Harris wrapped up How I Met Your Mother and returned to Broadway in Hedwig and the Angry Inch, a role that earned him a Tony Award.
“Getting married, moving, new jobs — we did all the things they say can ruin a relationship,” Burtka joked to the magazine.
And things show no signs of slowing down in 2015. Harris will host Hollywood’s biggest night, the Oscars, later this month, and is preparing his NBC variety show, while Burtka is set to star in the Broadway musical It Should Have Been You.
