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!

cold impersonal depressing.
Connelly is hot – so it is a loss to Brooklyn – but she also has one of the most annoying laughs I have ever heard. God bless Paul Bettany for being able to stand being around her

All that dark wood paneling…the place would look better if they put in some recessed lighting
“It’s the new trading down – Moving to Manahttan.”
A theory I anticipate to play out. Priced back in.
I heard that they found dining room a bit formal and dinner would always end with food flying out of their noses from laughing at themselves.
If anyone planning on buying this place is in need of an upstairs maid, I’m available. my husband will gladly serve as gardener.
Brownstoner, when clicking on some of the links on the 45 3rd Place item, I noticed that it seems you used to respond more to comments. While I can understand your hesitation in influencing how a particular discussion goes, I personally think it’s interesting to get your insight/reaction to certain posts, including provocative ones like 1:45#2 as an example. Just my opinion…
3.7 million in 2003.
8.5 million in 2008 (granted it hasn’t sold yet, but certainly will for close to this price).
But the peak was in 2005, wasn’t it??
LOL.
