INSIDE DAVID MUIR'S $7.5 MILLION NEW YORK CITY TOWNHOUSE: A PEAK INTO THE PERSONAL LIFE OF THE WORLD NEWS TONIGHT HOST

In a rare glimpse into his private life, ABC anchor David Muir has given fans a sneak peek inside his stunning $7.5 million New York City townhouse, and let's just say it's a jaw-dropping masterpiece that's got everyone talking! With the help of his trusty sidekick Axel, Muir's adorable dog, we're getting an exclusive look at the 51-year-old journalist's luxurious pad, and it's clear he's been living like royalty.

The historic four-story townhouse on West 4th Street in Manhattan's trendy West Village has been a labor of love for Muir, who purchased it back in 2013 for a cool $4.2 million - the same year he took over as host of World News Tonight from the legendary Diane Sawyer (Talk about pressure!). Since then, he's lovingly updated the space to give it a more modern twist while still preserving its original charm.

Muir, 51, frequently shares snaps of Axel lounging in different corners of his four-story West Village home, which he quietly put on the market last month for $7.5 million

As we step inside, you're immediately struck by the sheer grandeur of this 2,280 square foot townhouse. With sky-high ceilings and marble fireplaces, it's clear Muir has an eye for opulence. But what really sets this place apart is the attention to detail - from the oversized windows that flood the rooms with natural light to the ornate hardware and flooring that adds a touch of vintage glamour.

But let's get back to Axel, shall we? The dashing canine has been making waves on social media with his adorable photos lounging in different corners of Muir's townhouse. And for good reason - this place is doggone gorgeous! Whether he's snoozing by the grand marble fireplace or soaking up the sunbeams streaming through the seven-foot-tall French windows, Axel knows how to live it up.

As we explore further, we discover that Muir has carefully curated each room to create a seamless blend of old and new. Take the parlor floor, for instance - two expansive living rooms with original moldings and soaring ceilings are perfect for Axel's sunbathing sessions (we can see why he loves it here!). The pièce de résistance? An ornate marble fireplace that's simply fit for a king (or in this case, a handsome TV host).

The historic 2,280 square foot townhouse, located on West 4th Street, dates back to 1877 and is packed with original charm from sky-high ceilings to marble fireplaces

But don't be fooled - Muir isn't just about looks. Downstairs, the open-plan kitchen and dining area is where the magic happens. With sleek marble countertops, top-of-the-line appliances, and access to a private garden (where Axel can roam free), it's the perfect spot for entertaining. And we're pretty sure even the most discerning dinner party guests would be impressed by the vintage-style bathroom with a clawfoot tub in the primary suite - talk about old-school charm!

As if all this weren't enough, Muir has also thoughtfully added some modern conveniences to make life easier (and more comfortable). There's central air, a Sonos sound system, and even approved plans for a rooftop terrace that offers breathtaking city views. Because who doesn't love an evening cocktail with a side of Manhattan skyline?

But it's not all about the benjamins (although, let's be real, $7.5 million is no small change). Muir has always been known for his private nature, but in recent months, he's become somewhat of an internet sensation - and we're not just talking about his rugged good looks (although, seriously, who doesn't love a man in a tux?). No, folks are going wild over his youthful appearance, with photos of him at events going viral on TikTok.

He purchased the impressive home in 2013 for $4.2 million - the same year he succeeded Diane Sawyer as the host of World News Tonight

As Muir recently confessed to People, "People will forward TikTok videos, but only because they are laughing out loud at them and making fun of me and saying, 'When did you become Daddy?'" (ouch!). But the 51-year-old TV host has taken it all in stride. "I guess 'Daddy' is better than the alternative," he quipped. And honestly, who can blame them? With his chiseled features and effortless charm, David Muir is indeed a catch - at any age!

As social media continues to buzz about Muir's supposed "youthful glow", fans are begging him to spill the beans on his skincare secrets. (Spoiler alert: we're pretty sure it has something to do with his regular exercise routine and healthy eating habits). But in all seriousness, David Muir is an inspiration to us all - proof that age is just a number, and that with hard work, dedication, and a little bit of charm, you can stay looking (and feeling) young at heart.

So there you have it - a peek inside the private life of David Muir's stunning $7.5 million New York City townhouse. Who knows? Maybe one day we'll get to see more of Axel's adorable adventures in this luxurious abode. But for now, let's just say we're green with envy (or should we say, paws-itively envious?).

Over the years, he has renovated the space to have a more modern look, but 'kept and restored original details including hardware, flooring, fixtures and historic plaster medallions'

Inside, the parlor floor boasts two grand living rooms with original moldings and seven-foot-tall French windows; perfect for Axel’s sunbathing sessions

Downstairs, the open-plan kitchen and dining area features sleek marble countertops, top-of-the-line appliances, and access to a private garden

The three bedrooms upstairs are just as spacious and filled with light. The primary suite takes up the entire top floor and includes an office
