Nine-year residents of Cobble Hill and ex-Housewives of New York stars Alex McCord and Simon van Kempen are selling their townhouse at 56 Butler Street and moving to Australia “to be with family,” a spokeswoman for Stribling & Associates, which is handling the sale, told us.

Longtime readers will remember Simon, a Brownstoner commenter, and Alex from Brownstoner parties and this story about their renovation. The three-family, six bedroom house is asking $2,695,000. (If you are curious, they paid $1,275,000 in 2005.) The living room is still painted its controversial shade of red!

  1. exactly – the rent control is why the price is that low. Even a 3 story with a duplex and 1 rental in the area is going
    to cost more than this.
    All you need is a deck or stairs to garden — and no need to go through bedroom to get to yard.
    If you can see past the colors — could be a deal for someone.
