"The actor and his filmmaker wife, Jo Andres, sold their brownstone at 460 Fifth Street for $4.99 million, according to a deed posted Monday. The deal seems to have been made off market, and the buyers are a pair of family trusts. The house is a cartoonishly typical three-story brownstone two blocks off Prospect Park by Seventh Avenue - an area that, unfathomably today, wasn't as fancy when the couple bought it in 1997, not long after Buscemi's memorable roles in Fargo and Reservoir Dogs."
"He and Andres moved from within the neighborhood (an apartment at 409 9th Street where Buscemi had posed for photos), and the actor periodically made headlines for his neighborhood comings and goings - he was in "Page Six" when he appeared at the local coffee shop in bandages after a bar fight, scaring neighbors; joined a protest against the closures of local firehouses; and was a dedicated stooper, leaving out finds that entranced neighbors."
Steve Buscemi and his filmmaker wife Jo Andres sold their three-story brownstone at 460 Fifth Street in Park Slope for $4.99 million to a pair of family trusts in an apparently off-market deal. The brownstone sits two blocks from Prospect Park by Seventh Avenue and dates from a time when the neighborhood was less affluent; Buscemi and Andres bought it in 1997 and carried a mortgage of $463,200. Buscemi, a Brooklyn native, lived locally and was known for neighborhood activities, stoop contributions, protests, and occasional headline-making appearances. The sale reflects a wave of celebrities leaving townhomes for gated high-rise living. John Turturro remains a visible Park Slope celebrity sighting.
