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!

  1. I think that Park Slope house looks like a cross between a funeral parlour & something from a horror film. No wonder JC wants to leave it – it looks like Dark Water
    How could anyone live in there and feel at home – you’d keep expecting Dracula to walk in whilst you’re in bed.
    Imagine living with all that wood – what an eco nitemare.

  2. Jennifer Connelly has massive yams. I’d totally shag that big breasted doll. As for Maggie Gyllenhaal, she is one of the ugliest human beings to grace this planet. She looks like the retarded spawn of Babe Ruth
