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.

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?

yeah, i think the Montgomery place started at 2.4 and eventually sold for 2.1.
not bad for a 3 bedroom in park slope…

The Carroll Gardens ref is an ongoing Brownstoner joke…
That Montgomery Place condo sold only after significant price cuts.
You know what other place sold….there was a condo on the corner of Montgomery Place and 8th Avenue also listed with Sothebys for some insane amount…I want to say 2.1 million or something.
I believe that place sold also…
I can’t believe some one is buying that house, cause some of the bedrooms don’t have enough closet space.
Makes the Moonstruck house look like a steal.
‘cept they don’t have corner limestone mansions in Carroll Gardens. Just brownstone and brick.
The new owners are going to gut it and strip it of all it’s details and turn it into a modern glass and steel box.
The luxury market is quite different from everything else. That said, it might start to suffer too eventually – there have been numerous articles recently about how even the rich are cutting back. But maybe it will take them longer, or maybe they will be the only ones immune, though with stocks sliding, economic news getting worse each day, it’s hard to see how. Anyway, this house is an anomaly that can’t really be used as a baromater of what’s happening in the larger market, since it’s truly a one-of-a-kind property.
