Anybody Need A House to Live In? They're Practically Giving It Away.

I've submitted my offer and financials but no one seems to be getting back to me. I just can't imagine why? It's only a $14 million LIMESTONE MANSION that Jennifer Connelly and Paul Bettany used to live in! You know the one. On the corner of Carroll and Prospect Park West. I used to walk by there all the time and see those two BBQ'ing. What, I don't know because they were both impossibly thin.

But that's not the point. The point is that gorgeous 1899 limestone at 17 Prospect Park West is up for sale again and it's price tag is a modest $14 million, as I already mentioned. This is according to Curbed who was nice enough to provide a very brief history of the park side palace, along with some never-before-seen real estate porn shots of the house's newly renovated interior.
The house was built in 1899 by architect, Montrose W. Morris and was (decades and decades later) sold to PBet and JCo for a little under $4 million. They jazzed the place up, got tired of living there and five years later sold it to some Google guy for $8.45 million. Well, he renovated it himself and now has it on the market for... that's right... $14 million. Cause apparently you can do that these days.
According to Curbed, a lot of the original details remain including stained-glass windows, herringbone floors, and a working dumbwaiter. There's also a sweet little 600-bottle wine cellar for all your cellaring needs. Curbed claims it has a huge backyard, which I dispute because I used to sneak peeks at often and it seemed disproportionately small to me. But I live in a 400 square foot "one bedroom" with no outdoor space, so what the hell do I know.
