Australia’s Daily Telegraph has the goods on the house that Academy Award nominees Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams have purchased in Boerum Hill. According to the article, the Brokeback Mountain stars paid $3.5 million (AUS $4.7 million) for the four-floor house “two blocks south of Smith Street” last year after getting to know the neighborhood while renting a nearby townhouse. Ledger, who’s had a rocky relationship with the paparazzi in Australia, has found Brooklyn’s residents to be a good deal mellower. “He’s very nice and they’re very sweet people,” said his neighbour Margaret Cusack. “We got to go to the premiere of Brokeback Mountain he gave us tickets.”
Heath’s Home is Away [Daily Telegraph (AUS)]
They’re a nice couple, I’ve seen them shopping often on Smith and Court. Always stop to chat to store owners, etc. — no different from anyone else in the area.
I live across the street from this house but I haven’t seem them. Or at least I don’t think I have. I did notice last weekend that roughly half the couples in the nieghborhood with babies could be them.
We purposefully weren’t any more specific about the location than the article. Let’s leave it at that.
well its NOT 134 hoyt as mentioned here earlier, but it is nearby.
i was going to ask the same thing as anon — how can you be two blocks south of smith street? doesn’t smith run north/south?
yes, can anyone tell us what corner this is because the article reads 2 blocks SOUTH of smith street shopping…well south would being us to red hook and we know it’s not red hook. i think they mean east
What corner is that?
Can they just be left alone
But was the garage worth the extra $1.8m they paid more than the price of a normal extra luxe Boerum Hill brownstone?
