Amy Schumer Buying Restored Townhouse in Brooklyn for $11M

Published: July 7, 2022 | By: American Luxury Staff

In the springtime of this year, comedienne and actress Amy Schumer listed her wildly livable Manhattan penthouse near the banks of the Hudson. She hasn’t sold it quite yet — the Riverside Drive residence remains active on the market at $15 million — but she’s still kicking tires, and to that end, she reported is in the process of taking  ownership of the home where one-handed Romeo Ronny carried Loretta to the bed.

Yes, the Brooklyn Heights townhome, the exterior of which was used to represent the home of Loretta Castorini in the late-career Norman Jewison film Moonstruck, went into contract at an $11 million asking price. Its history extends a bit further than its part in the 1987 Academy Award-winning picture, though; it dates to 1829, and shows off a brownstone exterior with a mansard roof and a recessed double-door entry.

Painstakingly restored, the home’s improvements include new infrastructure, period-correct windows and ironwork. Newer crown molding and milled and hand-carved trim are some of the more meticulous revisions; original details include original marble fireplaces and antique fixtures.

Amenities in the house include a wine cellar—the basement was excavated to host it, and the level also contains a gym—as well as a kitchen with a custom Lacanche range on the garden level.
