Today, AD is welcomed by Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos to tour their sophisticated New York home. When the ‘Live with Kelly and Mark’ hosts moved into their Upper East Side townhouse over a decade ago, the couple had a vision of 1920s and ‘30s French glamor adapted for modern family living. With the help of AD100 designer William Sofield, the couple turned their home into an Art Deco masterpiece, full of treasures found on a trip to the antique markets in Paris. After twelve fabulous years of raising their family in this home, the couple has no plans of leaving and are ready for a new chapter in their home, just them. “I don’t want to sound morbid,” says Ripa, “but they’ll have to carry me out of here feetfirst because I have gotten good and comfortable in this house.”
