Daniel Craig Cobble Hill<\/p>\n

They have no more time to stay.<\/p>\n

Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz have sold their prized Cobble Hill brownstone for $11.8 million in an all-cash deal. The sale nearly doubled what they paid for the fire-damaged property less than a decade ago as the couple redirects their lives toward England, where they plan to raise their child full-time, sources told The Post.<\/p>\n

The sale of 22 Strong Place, which went into contract late last year in an off-market deal, according to the Real Deal<\/a>, caps a complete exit from the Brooklyn block the couple had quietly made their base.<\/p>\n

Records obtained by The Post show the home closed March 31.<\/p>\n

Combined with the $4.05 million sale of the neighboring 20 Strong Place in February 2025, the couple has now pulled roughly $16 million out of the borough, minus the gut-renovation costs.<\/p>\n

Photos obtained by The Post show the townhome\u2019s condition before Craig, 58, and Weisz, 56, got their hands on it. The damage was significant.<\/p>\n

A New Year\u2019s Eve 2016 fire had torn through the top floor of the 100-plus-year-old detached brownstone, leaving a blank slate waiting for the right buyer to finish the job. That buyer turned out to be the couple, who swooped in through an LLC called \u201cOn the Rows\u201d in 2017, paying $6.75 million to author Martin Amis and his wife, Isabel Fonseca, who had relocated to a Downtown Brooklyn apartment.<\/p>\n

The landmarked, 6,600-square-foot property came with a new roof, Landmarks Preservation Commission-approved renovation plans and wall studs still intact. The couple proceeded to transform the four-story brownstone into a thoroughly finished family home complete with a west-facing backyard anchored by a sprawling mulberry tree.<\/p>\n

Sources told The Post that Weisz is on a work hiatus, and a separate source said the couple made clear that London is now their primary focus. The couple had daughter Grace in September 2018.<\/p>\n

In a 2024 interview with the New York Times<\/a>, Craig revealed that he was more focused on home life these days as opposed to his career.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve got a 6-year-old at home,\u201d he said. \u201cI don\u2019t want to be away from home as much as I have in the past.\u201d<\/p>\n

Their north London base, a five-bedroom Grade II-listed Victorian townhouse dating to 1840, has itself been the subject of some drama.<\/p>\n

The couple won approval in early 2024 to upgrade the property after a conservation area dispute with locals over a proposed rear extension, ultimately agreeing to a revised plan that preserved the character of the historic building.<\/p>\n

When they weren\u2019t in London, the couple had made Cobble Hill their Brooklyn village. They were regulars at Chez Moi, the charming Carroll Gardens French bistro beloved by the neighborhood\u2019s literary and creative set. They also frequented Colonie, the farm-to-table staple on Atlantic Avenue that recently shuttered after more than a decade.<\/p>\n

Overall, Cobble Hill\u2019s townhouse market has gone stratospheric. The average townhouse in the neighborhood fetched $5.2 million in the first half of 2025, up 14% year-over-year, according to data from Leslie J. Garfield, a townhouse specialty brokerage. In February, a renovated Brooklyn Heights home at 307 Hicks St. traded for $14.9 million, setting a new borough record for a single-family home.<\/p>\n

For Craig and Weisz, Brooklyn was always something of an adopted home rather than a permanent one. Before landing on Strong Place, the couple had kept a sleek $11.5 million Soho penthouse, which they purchased in 2012 before selling and heading to the borough.<\/p>\n

They are not abandoning New York entirely, however. The couple still holds onto their upstate retreat, a four-bedroom, 2,443-square-foot stone farmhouse on 124 acres in Marbletown in Ulster County, which Weisz purchased for $2.1 million in 2008.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Daniel Craig Cobble Hill They have no more time to stay.
