omedian and actress Amy Schumer has reduced the asking price of her historic Brooklyn Heights townhouse by $1.25 million, relisting it for $12.75 million after three months on the market. The property's original price was $14 million, but Schumer and her husband, chef Chris Fischer, are preparing to move back to Manhattan due to logistical challenges with their son's new school.

    The couple purchased the Federal-style townhouse in 2022 for $12.25 million and made significant changes to the property, including hiring landscape architect Michael Van Valkenburgh to overhaul the backyard. The 5,600-square-foot home features five bedrooms, four bathrooms, a gym, and a wine cellar, but Schumer has said it exceeds their family's needs.

    Schumer grew up in New York and fell in love with the townhouse, which was built around 1829 and gained cultural cachet as the exterior of the Castorini family home in the 1987 film "Moonstruck." The couple will miss their Brooklyn neighborhood, but are looking forward to returning to Manhattan. Schumer has previously listed her Upper West Side apartment and penthouse for sale, and this is not her first real estate recalibration.

    The townhouse boasts a study, gym, and wine cellar, as well as a redesigned backyard with turf and play equipment. Despite its size, Schumer has said it's "just ready for more people." The listing is represented by Adam Modlin of the Modlin Group and Karen and Kyle Talbott of Corcoran.
