Brooklyn Bond

James Bond star Daniel Craig and his Oscar-winning actress wife Rachel Weisz have swapped London for New York. The A-list couple lived in Queen’s Park since they married in 2011, but fell in love with a delightful Brooklyn brownstone sold by British novelist Martin Amis. Built in 1901, the house was on the market for £4.9 million and offers all the Brooklyn character that Craig and Weisz were seeking. The 6,600sq foot property is spread across four floors, and has a stunning panoramic views of Manhattan. Craig and Weisz are in glitzy company. British actress Emily Blunt lives just round the corner, while Hollywood favourites Olivia Wilde and Michelle Williams have also invested in the neighbourhood. Boasting six bedrooms and five and a half bathrooms, the property features high ceilings as well as an elevator, a garden, a patio, and a roof deck. But despite the home's luxurious trappings, the celebrity couple had to commit to a significant amount of refurbishing. In 2016, a chimney set the ceiling's wood beams on fire. Consequently, the building now has a brand spanking new roof.
