Nestled in the heart of Manhattan's Upper East Side, TV power couple Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos have created a slice of Parisian charm within their five-story townhouse. This glamorous residence has not only witnessed the growth of their three children but has also become a timeless testament to their enduring love for each other and their unique sense of style. Now, the co-hosts of "Live With Kelly and Mark" are offering an exclusive glimpse into their pristine home through the January issue of Architectural Digest, revealing a space that seamlessly blends Art Deco elegance with functional luxuryThe.

townhouse, transformed into an Art Deco paradise over a decade ago by interior designers William Sofield and Emma O'Neill of Studio Sofield, has largely remained unchanged since its initial renovation. The result is a harmonious blend of early 20th-century French glamour and modern practicality, a reflection of the couple's personal tastes and their commitment to creating a home that feels both grand and welcoming.

Ripa and Consuelos, who met on the set of the soap opera "All My Children" in the 1990s, have become a beloved fixture in the world of television. Their partnership was rekindled last year when Consuelos joined Ripa on the long-running morning talk show, "Live," which Ripa has co-hosted since 2001. Their professional success is mirrored in their personal lives, as evidenced by their stunning townhouse, a place where they have built a life together for nearly three decades.

When the couple first purchased the property in 2013, Ripa was immediately smitten. "I was like, 'It's perfect, just hand me my toothbrush,'" she recalled to Architectural Digest. However, Consuelos had a different vision, wanting to customize the space to better suit their needs. The result is a home that feels both timeless and personal, a reflection of their shared history and individual styles.

The townhouse is a treasure trove of unique and historically significant pieces. In the dining room, 1940s chairs attributed to artist and furniture designer Maurice Jallot add a touch of mid-century elegance. A Napoleon-style secretary desk from around 1870 greets visitors in the entryway, while the bedroom sconces, salvaged from a decommissioned ocean liner, lend a nautical charm. These treasures are seamlessly integrated into the overall design, creating a space that feels both curated and lived-in.

While the majority of the townhouse adheres to a Parisian theme, some rooms offer a departure from the norm. The children's rooms, which have remained unchanged despite the kids having left the nest, reflect a more youthful and playful aesthetic. Consuelos' cigar room, with its black leather couches, dark walls, and a backlit bar adorned with velvet curtains, offers a masculine retreat that contrasts with the home's more feminine touches.

Ripa's love for theatricality is evident throughout the townhouse, a reflection of her lifelong experience on film sets. "I've spent my life growing up on sets," she said. "So I like a bit of dazzle. Give me a show." Nowhere is this more apparent than in the main bathroom, where Ripa recreated a scene from the 1981 film "Mommie Dearest." Inspired by a moment in which Faye Dunaway, playing Joan Crawford, lies on a white satin chaise in her dressing room, Ripa insisted on having an identical replica made. "I had Bill (Sofield) make me an identical replica of it!" she exclaimed.

However, Ripa's enthusiasm for authenticity led to a humorous mishap. Sofield had warned against using hammered satin for the chaise, but Ripa insisted. "I sat down on the chaise to apply some lotion, kind of as a joke, but when I put my leg down, I basically destroyed the entire surface," she recalled. The lesson learned was a valuable one, leading to a reupholstery in cotton silk. "I learned my lesson," she said with a laugh.

The townhouse is more than just a beautiful backdrop for the couple's life together; it is a living testament to their love and commitment. As they celebrate 28 years of marriage, Ripa and Consuelos have created a home that feels both grand and intimate, a place where they can enjoy the fruits of their labor and the warmth of family life. Ripa's declaration of her attachment to the home is a testament to its significance in their lives. "I don't want to sound morbid, but they'll have to carry me out of here feet-first because I have gotten good and comfortable in this house," she said.

The townhouse, with its blend of historical treasures and modern comforts, is a reflection of Ripa and Consuelos' journey together. From the glamorous dining room to the cozy cigar room, each space tells a story of their shared history and individual passions. The home is not just a place where they live; it is a place where they thrive, surrounded by the beauty and comfort that define their lives.

In a world where celebrity homes often come and go, Ripa and Consuelos' Upper East Side townhouse stands as a rare and enduring example of a true forever home. It is a place where they have raised their children, celebrated milestones, and built a life together. As they open the doors to this stunning residence, they invite us into a world of elegance, history, and heart—a Parisian paradise in the heart of New York City.
