The Cobble Hill carriage house in Brooklyn that served as the home of Julia Roberts and the cast of “Eat Pray Love” is up for sale for $6.995 million.
Once an 1840s-era firehouse, this place is just bursting with charm and character. And with all that charm, the four-bedroom, four-bathroom home is a magical little place: it looks a bit like something you’d see in a fairy tale.
Sitting on a generous 25-foot by 85-foot lot, the townhome is absolutely packed with goodies and features hard to come by in any home—let alone in the middle of New York City.
There are oversized beams, arched windows, a massive wood-burning fireplace, a greenhouse, a lush garden, foot-wide hardwood-plank floors, cathedral-height ceilings, a terrace, skylights, and more.
The house has central air (a must for summers on the East Coast) and a renovated chef’s kitchen with a 48-inch Viking range, granite countertops, palladian windows, custom tile work, and a sea of natural light.
Add to all of this the access to every NYC creature comfort—like Trader Joe’s, Barney’s, the subway, and beautiful Brooklyn Bridge Park—and it’s no wonder this house gets so much attention.
Right now, it’s configured as a two-unit home, but it could easily be opened up to make it one, majestic, elegant, and delightfully grand residence.
Hats are off to Deborah Rieders, a member of the Corcoran Real Estate Group, for the magnificent job presenting this very magnificent house.
“Eat Pray Love” was released back in 2010 and featured Oscar winners Julia Roberts and Javier Bardem. It was based on Elizabeth Gilbert’s 2006 memoir, “Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman’s Search for Everything Across Italy, India and Indonesia”—a book that stayed on the New York Times Best Seller list for 187 weeks.
