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!

These two must be REALLY loaded.
To have already bought a 7 million dollar spread while not yet selling this 8.5 million dollar one?
I mean…a house like this may take a while to sell to find the right buyer.
This isn’t a slope house, its right on the park This is a Park house, period. No slope. Thats for the help.
Could have sold for 10 mil at peak in 2005.
I’d think the reason they’re selling is they got sick of having to keep the shades drawn at all time. They lived there for about 3 months before they installed the shades and drew them down. I think all the “cool” park slopers weren’t too cool to spy on their local celebs
1:57, Thank you. Now THAT was funny.
This is a lovely mansion. I hope the too-rich new owner doesn’t gut it and turn into a chic minimalist loft. Or worse, eight luxury condos.
They are selling as fast as they are coming to market, 2:38.
Someone mentioned two Berkeley Place townhouses last week on here and I called literally the next day and BOTH were in contract.
Reason they’re moving:
Connelly got tired of being referred as a ‘Stroller Mom in the Slope’
It’s worth $20 million now and $50 million in 2013.
whats with all the slope expensive houses suddenly hitting the market
