Patrick Stewart may have commanded a starship, but his real-life home base for over a decade was a Park Slope duplex in Brooklyn. The actor, who died Wednesday at 86 after brief battles with Alzheimer’s disease and Lewy body dementia, bought the three-bedroom unit in a converted carriage house for $2.5 million back in 2012. According to the New York Post, he quietly sold it in July 2025 for $3.9 million, a $1.4 million gain on his investment.
The 2,176-square-foot home came with a private elevator, a fireplace, and a rooftop terrace, but the real charm was Stewart himself. He was a familiar face around the neighborhood, attending block parties and joking about Park Slope’s famous stroller culture. He even went viral for celebrating his first-ever New York pizza slice, complete with the authentic NY fold. Local designer Lawrence“XL”Abdullah captured the vibe perfectly:“Here, you’re a neighbor.”
Stewart died in Los Angeles surrounded by loved ones, and the quiet sale of his Brooklyn home feels fitting for a man who never needed the spotlight off-screen. The buyer’s identity is hidden behind an LLC, so the block’s new neighbor stays a mystery for now. What’s your favorite unexpected celebrity-neighbor story?
