Jennifer Connelly has finally closed on the sale of her 5,243 sq ft mansion at 17 Prospect Park West. We reported way back in June of the sale but it wasn’t finalized until November 17. She got a number that was very close to her asking price of $8,500,000.The actress has lived there since 1989. After buying the house, it suffered “two massive floods that completely trashed the whole kitchen,” according to an interview with New York magazine in 2005. “Water coming out of the light fixtures. Pipes burst. Twice! They dispatched the fire department.” Even so, Connelly told the magazine that the house has “a nice backyard and a place for the bicycles.”
The following year, New York magazine described the house at 17 Prospect Park West as being “one of the most beautiful in all of Park Slope. Nestled on a shady corner opposite Prospect Park, it is distinguished without being ostentatious. Its Ionic columns and great arched windows seem typical rather than showy. The garden — the disrepair of which was once, Park Slope blogger tells me, a cause of consternation for some neighbors — is now a well-maintained torrent of tulips in varying shades of oxblood, peach, and white.”
We are not sure if she was naked for any of the open houses but that is none of our business.
