Just got word that the Brooklyn Heights house where the movie Moonstruck was filmed has hit the market. No pics and limited info on the Corcoran site at this point but both promised shortly. One reader, who fell in love with the kitchen back when she saw the movie, can’t wait to get inside. The 4,160-square-foot house, which is located at 19 Cranberry Street, is going on the chopping block for a cool $5 million.

EXT. CASTORINI HOUSE – NIGHT
Rose and Perry stand on a sidewalk under a street light dimly shining. About half a block away stands the Castorini house.
They regard it. Over the house hangs the moon, cut through now with a sharp grey cloud. Rose and Perry’s VOICES can be heard.
ROSE’S VOICE
That’s my house.
PERRY’S VOICE
You mean the whole house?
ROSE’S VOICE
Yes.
PERRY’S VOICE
My God, it’s a mansion!
ROSE’S VOICE
It’s a house.
PERRY’S VOICE
I live in a one-bedroom apartment.
What exactly does your husband do?
ROSE’S VOICE
He’s a plumber.
PERRY’S VOICE
Well. That explains it.
And the house where the family themselves actually lived was 100 2nd Street in Carroll Gardens (at Court St.); it’s a big building (25 feet by 5 stories, I think); it sold in the fall and looks like it’s being renovated into multiple units.
Property Shark has one owner of the Moonstruck house for at least the past 34 years. There were no recent permits issued on the house. Implication is that mechanicals may have to be updated.
That aside, this is a wonderful house from the outside and in a great location. Someone will probably snap it up fast even at the high price of $5 beans.
And you can clearly see in the movie that Cher walks down Cranberry Street when she’s going home.
My fiance grew up on Henry down the block from the bakery, and when I moved there it was still Camareri (Sp?) Bros Bakery. The cafe there now has the original “BAKERY” sign that was on the outside (Sackett) side of the building hanging inside.
Where did anon 11:56 find the facts about the house being on Amity? I just listened to the commentary on the dvd, and as far as we could tell, the Cranberry house was used for most of the indoor scenes of the Castorini home shots.
and Naidre’s on Henry and Sackett was the bakery
and lot of the film was Toronto not NY
The house really featured in the movie is in Cobble Hill on the corner of Clinton and Amity. That’s the house where most of the action takes place.
Yup — in the comments of the other Cranberry house post
