CONNELLY-IN-CONTRACT-0608.jpg
Several readers have written over the last couple of days to draw our attention to the fact that 17 Prospect Park West, the 5,200-square-foot immaculate mansion owned by the actors Jennifer Connelly and Paul Bettany, is listed on the Sotheby’s website as being under contract. That, in itself, is no huge surprise—it’s gotta be one of the nicest houses in the borough. The bigger question is what the contract price was. One of the tipsters said she’d heard that it went for the asking price of $8,500,000. Any little birdies know the scoop?

  1. “if you come into contact with a lot of snobby people, it reflects more on your own personality than it does on a neighborhood.”

    How does one’s personality determine what the neighbors are like? Don’t get it.

  2. Paying a lot of money to live somewhere does not equal desirable. Well, maybe in your book. Bet you drive a Subaru. Trump towers are very expensive – guess everyone wants to live there.

  3. you all WISH you could afford to live in park slope.

    obviously people paying over 8 million dollars to live in this house signifies that it’s a pretty desirable neighborhood, overall.

    get a clue, haters.

  4. i don’t find park slopers snobby at all. i find some of them a bit dazed, some a little hippy dippy and others pretty down to earth.

    guess i’ve had good luck not running into the snobby ones.

    all depends on the circles one travels in, i think.

    if you come into contact with a lot of snobby people, it reflects more on your own personality than it does on a neighborhood.
