Actor Patrick Stewart Drops $2.5M on Park Slope Duplex

The rumors that Patrick Stewart moved to Park Slope were bolstered last week when the knighted actor tweeted about cable issues (he's just like us!), and now it's been confirmed: the former Starship Enterprise captain purchased a duplex penthouse at for $2.5 million, according to public records filed with the city. The 3BR/2.5BA in a converted carriage house spent almost six months on the market before Stewart picked it up. Stewart had been looking for a "fair amount of outdoor space," and he certainly got that with the unit's private 1,200-square-foot rooftop terrace.

Who wouldn't want to live here?

Enter the front garden through a towering iron gate, through a solid 8 foot wood door and into a private keyed elevator to this sprawling and sun drenched home. With four exposures, 11 foot ceilings, and a 31 foot wide living/dining and kitchen area this is one of Park Slope's most spacious and welcoming interior spaces. [...] Turn into the sun flooded living space and you will be met by a wall of oversized Marvin casement windows which frame the living and dining area.The unit has two wood-burning fireplaces, a laundry room, a chef's kitchen, and a master suite with an additional 200-square-foot balcony. UPDATE: We've removed the floorplan at the request of reps.
