Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos I worked closely with the designer William Suffield to customize their luxury home on New York City's Upper East Side — and they have no intention of leaving.
“We've moved many times in our lives, but no matter where we go, this is my forever home,” 54-year-old Ripa said. Architectural abstract A video tour of the home was released on Tuesday, December 10. “When I walked in here, I said to myself: This is the last place I will live.” “I love this house so much.”
Ripa and Consuelos, 53, bought the five-bedroom, six-bathroom townhouse in 2013. advertisement It has since become their “favorite place on Earth.”
The couple's virtual tour began at Consuelos' cigar lounge, which they wanted to feel like “70s New York meets 1920s Paris.” Thanks to a special ventilation system that pulls smoke out of the room, Ripa said the lounge never smells like smoke and has become a favorite spot for cocktail parties and watching sports. The man cave features a black leather sofa, photographs of Formula 1 cars and dark walls.
In contrast, Ripa and Consuelos' bedroom features white walls and light-colored furniture. Consuelos explained that the couple wanted their bedroom to have the ambiance of a European hotel.

“It's exciting, peaceful, and calm,” he explained.
Of all the rooms in the house, Ripa said the bedroom is where she spends the most time. She wrote her book for 2022, Livewire: Short, long-form storieson a desk by the window and damaged the chair to the point that it had to be reupholstered.

“I feel like I have a good life together,” Ripa told her husband.

While the couple qualifies as empty nesters, Ripa and Consuelos are by no means alone. While showing their dining room, Ripa noted that “a lot of Chinese food (dinners) on Sundays with friends” takes place there.

“I'm lazier than most of the Susans,” Ripa joked.
the Live with Kelly and Mark The hosts ended the tour in their spacious kitchen, which Ripa described as the “heart and soul” of the townhouse. Consuelos remembers going to the quarries with Sofield to help pick out the white stone for the kitchen island countertop.

Meanwhile, Ripa pointed out the “somewhat opaque cabinets, which provide a limited view of the dishes inside.”
“(They) keep us honest. “We are forced to be organized,” she joked.
