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?

I heard Tiger Woods bought it and is planning on Buying Prospect Park and building a private 18 hole golf course in the Long Meadow.
“If it went for the ask, it means anybody who is expecting the top houses in prime areas to take a significant haircut is dreaming.”
This house was a “top house”. There are no other houses like this on the market now, and I don’t recall any in the recent past. So, those who think their house is “top” shouldn’t get too excited either.
10:22 you’re right, whichever one is at the corner of Garfield & PPW
Damn…there goes my lottery dream
This is great news. I’m glad to know someone loved that house enough and will take good care of it. I think it’s a testament to the desirability of Park Slope as well.
Good news.
That’s obviously a very special property. If it went for the ask, it means anybody who is expecting the top houses in prime areas to take a significant haircut is dreaming.
I heard a high-powered lesbian couple bought the place.
10:18 Correct me if i’m wrong but I think it’s either 35,27 or 9 PPW you reference. I don’t think 19 goes that high…
I also see that the $5.75MM duplex a block away at 19 PPW is also in contract.
