The new owner of 19 Cranberry Street in Brooklyn Heights may be starstruck that it was sold to them by comedian/actress Amy Schumer and her chef husband, Chris Fischer. Or, they may mostly be moonstruck by the townhouse’s cinematic legacy.
This is the famous brownstone filmed as the central home (almost a character in itself) in the 1987, Oscar-hit film, Moonstruck. So, Cher has walked up and down its stoop many times. Fast forward: Schumer and Fisher purchased the five-level manor in 2022 for $12.25 million, listed it this March for $14 million, and finally sold it this month for $11 million—right around the time they sadly announced their split.
Moving on to its next chapter with new stewards, the 1829-built home awaits with a blend of cozy and bright spaces. High ceilings, hand-carved trim, rich moldings, and dreamy antique fireplaces weave beautifully throughout the home. But, different rooms have different atmospheres, allowing for natural mood changes. For example, the chef’s kitchen and nearby den with wood-beamed ceilings and deep, brown hues call for laidback moments reading quietly or catching up with family, while the primary suite bath with floral, blue wallpaper fosters a vibrant, energizing feel.
Though the buyer is unknown, this home is undeniably perfect for a family, such as Moonstruck‘s Castorinis. It offers 5,568 square feet of living space, five bedrooms, and a turfed backyard, which Schumer and Fisher put in.
