Jennifer Connelly’s Limestone Mansion in Brooklyn

by HOOKEDONHOUSES on MAY 19, 2008

Celebrity couple Jennifer Connelly and Paul Bettany have put their limestone mansion on the market for $8.5 million. According to Sotheby’s International Realty, their Brooklyn, New York home has 9 bedrooms and 3.5 baths: “Here is an opportunity to own one of the all time great houses of New York built at the turn of the century. Located on a corner lot directly across from Prospect Park, sunlight fills the grandly proportioned rooms all day long through oversized windows.”

I’m totally in love with this place. I’m off to put an offer on it right now. Let’s hope they don’t laugh when I start digging the change out of the bottom of my purse.

Here’s the place in TriBeCa that they are reportedly moving to. It was on the market for $6.9 million and has 4 BR, 2.5 BA, and a large terrace overlooking the Hudson:

The two could really not be much more different, could they? Which do you like better? Personally, I don’t think I ever could have sold that limestone. But the view from the second one is pretty incredible. (Here’s the listing.)

They couple divides their time between London, which is his hometown, and Brooklyn, which is hers.

Thanks to Mrs. Limestone for the link to the listing. Photo of Connelly and Bettany at top of post via DayLife.
