In the 25 years Cortney and Robert Novogratz have been together, they've written a handful of books, starred in a couple of reality shows, and transformed dozens of properties all over the world.
Oh, and they also had seven children.
Today, the Novogratz clan is known for its hip, eclectic, do-it-yourself aesthetic. Perhaps the best example of their style is their townhouse in New York City's West Village, which Cortney and Robert bought in 2008 and lived in for six years.
It was renovated by the pair and featured prominently on Bravo’s show "9 By Design" — fans of the series will recognize the glass garage door that opens into the living room, the large kitchen, and quirky chandeliers. New York City property buffs, however, will recognize the townhouse because it has languished on the market for over six years.
Though it has yet to find a buyer, supermodel Heidi Klum stayed there this past summer.

And here's what it looks like today, lit up at night and visible from the West Side Highway. By 2009, Cortney and Robert were virtually finished with the home and started shopping around for a buyer with a $25 million price tag.
Though it's been on sale since 2009, the home still has not found a buyer. The price was brought down to $17.45 million before it was listed as a $70,000/month rental.
