Clue to the A-List owner’s identity found in $14m Brooklyn townhouse’s amazing wall painting

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

The painting on the wall above one of the beautiful mantled fireplaces shows a theater scene, painted by Eric Roux-Fontaine and is owned by comedian and actress Amy Schumer.

Schumer has put up for sale the four-story townhouse in Brooklyn Heights for a substantial amount, as she announced her family’s relocation to Manhattan.

This 5,568 square foot home, featuring five bedrooms, three full baths, and one half bath, dates back to 1829 and boasts a classic Federal-style architecture with a recently renovated 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.

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.
