Amy Schumer Sells Brooklyn Heights Townhouse
With its unique blend of historic charm and modern amenities, the townhouse is a rare gem in the Brooklyn Heights real estate market, offering a glimpse into the past while providing all the comforts of modern living, and now available for $14 million.
Amy Schumer is selling her historic Brooklyn Heights townhouse, which she purchased for $12.25 million in 2022, for $14 million due to the long commute to her son's school in Manhattan. The 5,500-square-foot, four-story townhouse features five bedrooms, an enclosed garden, and many original 19th-century details.
The Federal-style home, built in 1829, boasts a Second Empire-style mansard roof and was previously featured in the 1987 movie Moonstruck. The property has been meticulously maintained, with a custom kitchen, butler's pantry, and private, gated parking spot. The primary suite takes up the entire third floor, with a street-facing bedroom, huge dressing room, and spa-like bathroom.
Schumer's decision to sell the townhouse is driven by the desire to be closer to her son's school, as the current commute from Brooklyn Heights to Manhattan takes 45 minutes. Despite the townhouse's grand features, including 30 windows, high ceilings, and grand rooms with crown moldings, Schumer feels that her family doesn't need the 5,600 square feet of space.
The sale of the townhouse marks a new chapter for Schumer, who will be relocating to Manhattan to prioritize her family's needs. As the townhouse hits the market, it will undoubtedly attract attention from potential buyers drawn to its rich history, stunning architecture, and prime location in Brooklyn Heights.
