Interior designers Nate Berkus and Jeremiah Brent are asking $10.5million for their luxurious New York City duplex penthouse.
The couple's 2,800-sq-ft apartment located in Manhattan's Greenwich Village is now on the market after they received several inquiries about selling it, the Wall Street Journal reported.
The three bedroom, two-and-a-half bathroom duplex, previously described as 'the home of their dreams', appeared on the cover of Architectural Digest in October.

Interior designers Nate Berkus and Jeremiah Brent (pictured with their daughter Poppy) are asking $10.5million for their luxurious New York City duplex penthouse located in Greenwich Village

The extravagant apartment boasts a wrap-around terrace, three wood-burning fireplaces, French limestone floors and a huge walk-in closet (pictured), divided into two sections
Listing agent Emily Beare of Core told the Wall Street Journal the couple, who tied the knot last year, spent around $6million in 2013 to purchase the co-op building's penthouse along with the next-door, one-bedroom apartment.
Berkus, 43, and Brent, 30, then combined the two units before gut-renovating the space, according to Beare.
The extravagant apartment boasts a wrap-around terrace, three wood-burning fireplaces, French limestone floors and a huge walk-in closet, separated into two sections.
Beare said the windowed closet, which includes a black and white patterned carpet, is 'as big as most people's apartments.'
The closet is located inside the apartment's master suite which also includes a fireplace and an en-suite master bathroom with dual sinks and a freestanding cast-iron bath tub, according to the listing.
The chef's kitchen features white tile, black cabinets, a butcher block, marble counter tops, Viking appliances and rounded glass casement windows, which 'add a lot of light', according to Beare.
The penthouse's dining room lies next to the kitchen, which leads to a terrace, and has dual sliding doors.

The private living quarters below can be accessed via a wrought-iron staircase which leads to the family room featuring a fireplace and a second powder room.
Next to the family room, a glass enclosed office and a study can be found.
Their brightly illuminated living room features mostly vintage furnishings: roomy 1960s club chairs, a Jansen brass cocktail table with a smoked-glass top and a plush sofa.
Beare said the furniture inside the penthouse is not included in the asking price, however she noted that some pieces might be available as a separate negotiation, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Both designers added their own unique touches to the residence, which features a 19th century pedestal table and a Matt Conors painting on the ivory walls.
Located on the 14th and 15th floors of the prewar building, the couple previously told Architectural Digest that they had invested in the high-end apartment with their one-year-old daughter Poppy in mind - who was welcomed to the world last March via a surrogate.
Making sure to have a nursery room to offer her when they were designing the apartment, Berkus told the interior design magazine: 'We knew we wanted to have a family and that we wanted to raise our child in New York.'
Poppy's room features its own posh design, with a changing table, spotted rug and a dream-catcher dangling nearby her white crib.
Beare said Poppy's nursery is a converted office near the master bedroom, and a playroom in the apartment features built-in bookshelves that conceal a hidden door to the hallway.
Also centered in her play area is a handwoven photograph of Joshua Tree National Park by artist Fernando Bengoecha, who was Berkus's former partner.
He tragically died in the 2004 tsunami that struck Thailand, thus Brent said: 'That work is central to Nate’s life.'

Brent posted this heartwarming snap on his Instagram August with his daughter, captioned: 'Saturday's with Poppy'
'Everyone should be able to sit in a room with pieces that spark memories. If you create the feeling that a home is a vessel for stories and memories, you have succeeded,' he added.
Brent told Architectural Digest that the pair 'couldn’t stop thinking about the apartment, believing we were meant to live there,' and then they were 'suddenly able to create the home of our dreams.'
Berkus noted that although he has his own expertise when it comes to modeling his home, he looks back and recognizes that before he met Brent, 'I had sort of stopped seeing...being with him—I was rejuvenated.'
Brent revealed that he too was in disbelief after sealing the deal, saying to his partner: 'We have to treasure this.'
American Dream Builders host Berkus was originally based in New York, while Brent and his flourishing design business took off in Los Angeles.
After dating for nine months, the two designers ended up falling for each other and became engaged on a Peruvian mountaintop.
No stranger to the Big Apple, Brent and Berkus later made history during their star-studded wedding ceremony at New York City's famed public library.
The pair was married by Oprah Winfrey Network co-president Sheri Salata in May 2014 - making them the first same sex couple ever to have wed there.
Since their breathtaking nuptials, the pair has been working hard on building their family and home lives as well as their careers.
Nate, who rose to fame as as Oprah's home-design guru, noted how their choice neighborhood near the West 11th and 10th streets, has a 'unique magic.'
