A breath-taking $14 million Brooklyn home features a painting on the wall giving a subtle clue to its A-List owner.  

Amy Schumer, a comedian and actress, owns a painting by Eric Roux-Fontaine that hangs over a stunning mantled fireplace in her home.

Schumer has listed her four-floor townhouse in Brooklyn Heights for sale as her family plans to move back to Manhattan. The asking price for the property is quite high.

The historical townhouse, built in 1829, features five bedrooms, three full baths, and one half bath. Spanning 5,568 square feet, the home boasts a classic Federal-style architecture with a beautifully restored interior.

Upon entering the home through French doors, two grand entertaining rooms feature original dark marble-mantled fireplaces and gorgeous crown moldings as well as hand-carved trim. 

The rooms are bathed in natural light from the 30 windows throughout the property. 

Wood beams line the kitchen ceiling, complimenting the blue and wood furnishings, marble-topped island and custom 3-oven LaCanche range.  

The kitchen’s vintage wood cabinets and wide-planked floorboards keep the home’s history alive alongside the updated appliances and furnishings.

Surrounded by wrought iron fencing lies a wooden deck area overlooking a private garden space. 

A stunning rustic style marble bathtub sits next to a mantled fireplace in the main green penny-tiled bathroom, with vintage print wallpaper. 

The basement of the home features a laundry room and a gym as well as a custom-built wine cellar. 

Schumer and her husband, chef Chris Fischer, bought the home in 2022 for $12.25million, according to property records. 

‘We loved what we moved into,’ Schumer told Realtor.com. ‘But we’ve definitely made it our own.’ 

She told the outlet they consulted architect Michael Van Valkenburgh to reimagine the backyard, and swapped the brick patio for turf, Realtor.com reported. 

‘Not that it’s a ton [of space], you know, it is Brooklyn,’ Schumer said.

They said they felt that the home was too big for the pair and their son, Gene. 

‘This is a home that is just ready for more people,’ she said, but added that the ‘neighborhood has just been a dream to live here, and I feel very sad to leave.’ 

‘Will miss it so much and loved our 3 years here,’ Schumer wrote on Instagram.
