Steve Buscemi Sold His Park Slope Brownstone for $4.99 Million

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.
