Rachel Weisz and Daniel Craig have quietly sold their iconic Brooklyn townhouse for $11.8 million in April 2026. The power couple is making a clean break from New York, raising questions about where they’ll call home next.
🔥 Quick Facts
- Sale Price: $11.8 million in an off-market deal closed April 2026
- Original Cost: $6.75 million purchased in August 2017
- Property: 22 Strong Place, Cobble Hill, 6,600 sq ft brownstone
- Second Sale: Second Brooklyn property offloaded in 12 months
From Fire Damage to $11.8M Masterpiece
When Craig and Weisz purchased the four-story brownstone in 2017, the property needed serious reconstruction. The home had suffered devastating damage from a New Year’s Eve chimney fire in 2016 that destroyed the top floor. Previous owner Martin Amis, the renowned novelist, had already vacated the premises. The couple saw opportunity where others saw risk, undertaking extensive Landmarks Preservation Commission-approved renovations.
Their vision transformed the shell into a luxury retreat. The renovations added an elevator, a roof deck, and a west-facing garden anchored by a mature mulberry tree.

A Decade of Brooklyn Living Ends
The April 2026 sale marks the end of an era for the Hollywood power couple. Weisz and Craig spent nearly a decade in the Cobble Hill neighborhood, becoming part of Brooklyn’s elite residential fabric. The quiet, off-market sale closed after months of private negotiation, handled by Compass agent Pamela D’Arc.
Most notably, this is their second major Brooklyn divestment in just over a year. In February 2025, the couple sold an adjacent townhouse at 20 Strong Place for $4.05 million.

Are They Really Leaving New York?
The back-to-back Brooklyn property sales have sparked speculation that Craig and Weisz are making a final exit from New York City. The couple has maintained other residences for years. Their London home in the exclusive Primrose Hill neighborhood offers metropolitan charm, while their 124-acre Ulster County estate, purchased by Weisz in 2008, provides rural privacy. Both locations align with the couple’s known preference for a guarded, low-profile lifestyle.
What’s certain: After liquidating three major New York properties in recent years, the chapter on their Brooklyn presence appears closed for good.
Will Celebrity Real Estate Trends Shift Brooklyn’s Profile?
The sale of high-profile brownstones by A-list actors raises broader questions about luxury real estate dynamics in Brooklyn. Market observers suggest the borough’s most exclusive neighborhoods remain desirable, but international portfolios and multi-property ownership among celebrities create unpredictable liquidity patterns. Craig and Weisz’s strategic pivot toward their London and upstate properties reflects a wider trend among ultra-high-net-worth individuals consolidating homes in specific markets.
