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!

Biff C- Me guesses The B wont respond to you or 1:45. Maybe too real, as he is a family man 2 boot.
I dont care though, but this post does reveal that the B’s dont rub elbows with these stars or others, which sadly pops another little bubble of mine: “Bloggers, They’re Just Like Us!” I’m depressed now.
Still Waiting for The What and The Who
the lived in the whole house.
anyway, the floorplan is odd with a kitchen in the basement and the FDR one flight up. it’s a lovely house, but not the nicest on PPW. I think 5.5-6mm may be closer to the mark, but I don’t know what the celeb premium is on this kind of thing
who is paul bettany?
I would buy this place except the UPS store just overcharged me.
I thought I had a nice house until I saw these pictures. Now I kind of feel liking I’m slumming it.

Your comment makes no sense. People on here say ALL THE TIME that the peak was in 2005.
When one is banking 5 million dollars in 5 years, it doesn’t matter anymore what it would have sold for in 2005.
Most of us are dealing with smaller prices, but my brownstone which I bought for 800K and is now woth 3 million…I really don’t care if the price goes down a little bit, because I’ve already seen a HUGE run up in price.
So if it sells for 2.8 million now instead of 3.2 million it might have sold in 2005, I’m really not crying about it all that much.
See my point?
2:05 – the post clearly states that they are moving from a house to a penthouse
1.53 – your comment means nothing unless we know what it would have sold for in 2005. Logic class not your strong point?
Don’t talk about yourself like that, 2:02. With a little therapy, there’s still hope for you!!!
