Schloss Connelly In Contract
Several readers have written over the last couple of days to draw our attention to the fact that 17 Prospect Park West, the 5,200-square-foot immaculate mansion owned by the actors Jennifer Connelly and Paul Bettany, is listed on the Sotheby’s website as being under contract. That, in itself, is no huge surprise—it’s gotta be one…
Several readers have written over the last couple of days to draw our attention to the fact that 17 Prospect Park West, the 5,200-square-foot immaculate mansion owned by the actors Jennifer Connelly and Paul Bettany, is listed on the Sotheby’s website as being under contract. That, in itself, is no huge surprise—it’s gotta be one of the nicest houses in the borough. The bigger question is what the contract price was. One of the tipsters said she’d heard that it went for the asking price of $8,500,000. Any little birdies know the scoop?

i heard that a developer bought it and is going to build a 15 story glass penthouse on top of it. thats going to look sick.
Hijacking? Please…
Just showing how it’s still a vibrant market. All those recently-sold-in-Manhattan buyers, Brooklyn-recent-sellers-trading-up and various wealthy people are keeping the market suprisingly bouyant im Braunsteinlande.
A PH house a block or so away from PS selling in a heartbeat relates to any area sales.
Let’s not be so limited in our conversation.
Stop hijacking the thread, 11:51!!!
This post is about Park Slope!!!
On a very different level, but do you’all know that the Prospect Place house (bt/w Vanderbilt and Carlton…just about 6 doors down from Vanderbilt) is in contract?
It was on the market at 1.4m (and needs a ton of work if not a big, detail-heavy renovation) for ONE week. Plus, Corcoran is saying they have 10 alternates…
WHA’? This is like the market two ago: Open House on Sunday, handshake within a week after too many offers.
I guess it probably went for over-ask.
Any ideas/insights?
There go our idea of a B&B on Prospect Place. Oh well.
They must be sooo relieved to be moving back to civilization.
“Are they moving back to Manahttan?
Why?”
They had to downsize. Their new Manhattan place was only 7 million. Guess they aren’t getting enough work…
Yes, the rich are indeed cutting back by not purchasing that 20 million dollar Manhattan townhouse and buying this shack.
Sweet house, not much else like it in Brooklyn.
never mind those tiny closets.
Master bath does not have double sink and there is no powder room on parlor floor.
And for 8.5m – and don’t include pics of kitchen and baths makes me suspicious needs upgrade.
Good thing taxes are only 10K on $8.5 house.
Since my place is worth only 10% of that – does that mean my taxes should be just of 1k?
Or maybe not just the horrible rent-controlled tenants getting subsidized by the public but also the rich landowners?
Are they moving back to Manahttan?
Why?
