Two of Brownstone Brooklyn’s biggest celebs have put their Prospect Park West mansion on the market and are moving to the West Village. In a post this morning, Curbed reported that Jennifer Connelly (who grew up in Park Slope) and actor hubby Paul Bettany are in contract on a $7 million penthouse at 288 West Street. Lest you fear for their ability to come up with the dough, however, we’ve discovered that they stand to clear $8,500,000 on the sale of their limestone mansion at 17 Prospect Park West. The 5,200-square-foot house, which the couple bought for $3,700,000 back in 2003, has to be the nicest house to come to market in a looooong time. Check out these pics!

I much prefer streets with eclectic architecture and variety of materials for each house, brownstone, limestone and brick like you see on PPW. Plus the truly wealthy at the turn of the century hired an architect to design their own unique house. I love brownstones who doesn’t, but they’re not more prestigious to own than a house like this. Epitome of Park Slope or not.
Berkeley Place, to me is the epitome of Park Slope.
“Gorgeous house, but other than the Calder mobile, the furnishings are BORING and UGLY. Too bad.”
It’s staging. It’s not their stuff.
This mansion isn’t the epitome of Park Slope houses. Instead its grand and atypical in its brightness and aspect, more monumental.
In contrast the epitome of Park Slope houses would really be a distinguished brownstone in a row on a gently sloping well-treeed street.
This house is gorgeous. Does remind me a bit of my old school library though with all that wood no doubt smelling of polish.
The fewer celebs in Brooklyn, the cooler the REAL cool people think it is.
I say this is great news for Park Slope.
ONE LESS NEUROTIC MOM!!!
Ever heard this woman’s laugh in the Tea Lounge??
It’s HORRIFYING!!!

They’re hoping their star power will justify the 100+% price increase in less than 5 years.
Maybe she is starring in the new Darren Star dramedy about Park Slope and didn’t want to work AND live in the same neighborhood!
3:21, It is also quite possible that in six months time you will still have your head up your arse, and this site will have completely turned into a curbalker/stalker map for re agents, their shills/interns, Beverly hills tour guides, wannabe UMA “good friend” fan(atics) and your momma.
something to consider: It’s not a drop, it’s a slide….2:32/
