Not sure how we missed this one…
NY Times, April 3, 2005 — The husband-and-wife novelists Jonathan Safran Foer and Nicole Krauss have put their house up for sale in Park Slope, Brooklyn, and are in the process of buying an even bigger home on a triple lot on the same block, according to a person with direct knowledge of the deal. Their new house had an asking price of $6.75 million, but the person would not say how much the couple had agreed to pay. Mr. Foer, 28, and Ms. Krauss, 30, bought their current house, less than a block from Prospect Park, in 2003, for $1.86 million, according to city records. Last month they listed it for sale for $3.25 million with the broker Minette Stokes, a senior vice president at the Corcoran Group. Ms. Stokes declined to comment. The three-story limestone home is described on the Corcoran Web site as having a center staircase, high ceilings and bay windows. The house they are buying is even more grand. It is 20 feet across and 95 feet deep with some 7,000 square feet of space, two terraces, stained-glass windows and a conservatory. The adjoining garden takes up two full lots that extend all the way through the block to the next street.
