Girls' star skips a few rungs on the ladder: Lena Dunham sells £388k Brooklyn flat she hasn't lived in since buying £3.7m house three years ago

Lena Dunham has sold her New York apartment. The star of US TV comedy-drama series Girls, who grew up in lower Manhattan, bought the home in Brooklyn Heights for £388,000 in 2012.

The one-bedroom flat in the historic Mansion House building has been bought by local architects for £659,000.

However, Dunham, 30, hasn’t lived there herself since 2014. That’s when she upgraded to a four-bedroom house in the Big Apple priced at £3.7 million with her musician boyfriend, Jack Antonoff.

Rumour has it that Antonoff’s fashion designer sister Rachel stepped in as a tenant at Dunham’s pied-à-terre but she will need to pack her bags as the new owners are keen to make their mark.
