Drew Barrymore Lists 1747 Harrison Home for Just Under $5 Million
drew barrymore has listed her Harrison, New York, estate for just under $5 million after a two-year renovation. The 12-acre property, bought in 2024 for $4.4 million, gives the market a restored 1747 home with a price set above her purchase cost.
Harrison Estate Details
The main house covers 5,600 square feet and has five bedrooms. The property also includes a pool house and a separate guest cottage, putting multiple living spaces on one wooded lot in Westchester County.
Barrymore said she wanted a more convenient escape after growing weary of the traffic to and from her former Hamptons home. That practical shift shaped the listing: the house sits less than an hour from the city she primarily calls home, which makes the sale as much about location as square footage.
1747 House, 2024 Purchase
The home was originally built in 1747, and the renovation kept its historic structure while updating the property over two years. Barrymore described the moment she took it on this way: "I walked in and I was, like, ‘I know my family’s been here. I know that I have to work on this house. I know that I’m supposed to be doing this,’" and added, "It was like a strange, spiritual calling."
She also summed up the property’s appeal in simpler terms: "It’s really like being in your own personal park," with "tons of deer," along with pheasants, ducks and rabbits. That framing makes the listing feel less like a standard celebrity sale and more like a rare suburban-historic hybrid, the kind that tends to attract buyers who want acreage, privacy and a finished renovation in one move.
Westchester Market Appeal
The renovation preserved the home’s historic character while adding modern upgrades, including a chalet-style foyer with a limestone fireplace, a window-lined great room with 30-foot-tall ceilings, a dark-wood kitchen, a tomato-red family room with exposed beams and a sunlit conservatory. For a buyer, the appeal is straightforward: the work is already done, the land is substantial, and the property is ready to trade hands without another restoration project in front of it.
