Australia’s Daily Telegraph has the goods on the house that Academy Award nominees Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams have purchased in Boerum Hill. According to the article, the Brokeback Mountain stars paid $3.5 million (AUS $4.7 million) for the four-floor house “two blocks south of Smith Street” last year after getting to know the neighborhood while renting a nearby townhouse. Ledger, who’s had a rocky relationship with the paparazzi in Australia, has found Brooklyn’s residents to be a good deal mellower. “He’s very nice and they’re very sweet people,” said his neighbour Margaret Cusack. “We got to go to the premiere of Brokeback Mountain he gave us tickets.”
