Recently listed for sale in Manhattan is the delightfully harmonious home of Nate Ruess, lead singer of the band Fun, and his partner, British fashion designer Charlotte Ronson. The couple first purchased the full-floor apartment in 2014, later deciding to treat the outdated space to a complete renovation in 2017 after moving to New York full time.

The duo turned to designer Paul Fortune for the makeover, ready for a decidedly "grown-up, uptown apartment" according to a feature in Architectural Digest shortly after the completion. The singer and designer had a long-standing friendship beginning after Ruess purchased Fortune's Los Angeles home, where the couple lived before moving to New York. "We wanted a similar vibe to Laurel Canyon, but also something right for New York," Ronson told the magazine. Up to the challenge, Fortune partnered with New York–based design firm Gachot Studios to reimagine the 2,500-square-foot space into a chic and comfortable urban oasis.

A handsome entry foyer opens into the main living room, which basks in light from three tall, west-facing windows. Spanning some 35 feet in length, the bright and airy space is made to feel even larger by the 12-foot ceilings.

The two-bedroom residence now offers a contemporary design and free-flowing layout, with the couple's own artwork adding a personal touch to the newly reimagined spaces. Accessed from a private elevator, the main foyer leads into the light-filled living room. Steps away is a spacious chef's kitchen that has mint green cabinetry, marble countertops, and high-end appliances. A formal dining area is positioned on the opposite side of the room.

Mint green cabinetry mixes with Imperial Danby marble countertops and backsplashes. High-end appliances include a Wolk range, Sub-Zero refrigerator, and Bosch dishwasher. Adjacent to the space, a large utility room functions as both a pantry and laundry room.
