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!

3:18 – haha. You certainly took that bait. Never suggest on Brownstoner that Manhattan has anything on Brooklyn. People will accuse you of being “desperate” – or worse.
Holy crap, is that one huge load star crap shoveled on by the Park Slope marketing machine.
I think it’s even funnier than someone who sees them on the street thinks she “knows” them.
3.15 – what comment are you referring to?
I’ve been in this house. previous poster was right that the kitchen and informal dining area are downstairs. it’s beautiful but you really gotta like stairs — you’d spend a lot of time in the basement, walking up two steep flights to the den and then another to your bedroom and then another for the kids.
Debbie Korb, the agent for this property is well versed in the Celebrity Real Estate Market. She currently has Richard Gere’s property as well.
Just so you know…she will be pushing this to her MANY celebrity A list clients.
It is quite possible a celebrity you have actually heard of will turn up in this property 6 months from now.
3:00…I see this couple out all the time.
And it’s mostly in Brooklyn.
Not Manhattan.
I think surmising something about two people you don’t know anything about and then making generalizations about an entire borough of 2.4 million people is a little ridiculous.
Even for desperate people like yourself.
P.S. I go out in Manhattan quite frequently and if you gave me 10 million bucks, I wouldn’t leave Brooklyn.
You would NEVER have said what you said if this weren’t a celebrity. Get off your soapbox.
Wow, did someone just bash this grand place in favor of their brownstone?
This house is amazing, and puts brownstones to to shame.
I tell people PPW, not PS.
