This picturesque Victorian home in Ditmas Park, Brooklyn has appeared on TV.

I
n the heart of Ditmas Park, Brooklyn, a storied Victorian home stands as a testament to the neighborhood's unique charm. This 2,900-square-foot gem has been a silent partner in the world of television and advertising, hosting over 100 productions since its current owners, Jason and Crystal Marks, took up residence in 2016.

    The Marks' decision to open their doors to filmmakers and advertisers has made their home one of Brooklyn's most recognizable addresses. From "The Daily Show" to national commercials for Kohl's, HomeGoods, and BMW, the house has played host to a diverse array of projects. The couple's advertising background likely contributed to their willingness to collaborate with production teams.

    Beyond its screen time, this property boasts an impressive blend of historic character and modern updates. Restored stained-glass windows and original hardwood floors evoke the early 20th-century era in which it was built, while a sleek kitchen and cozy reading room-turned-office offer contemporary comfort. The top-floor owner's suite is a true showstopper, featuring a dramatic ceiling, walk-in closet, and bathroom with a clawfoot tub positioned beneath a skylight.

    The neighborhood itself is a rare gem within the city limits, exuding a small-town vibe that fosters community spirit. Artists and musicians host porch-front jazz concerts, while block parties, dinner gatherings, and art shows bring residents together. Halloween is particularly special, with the Marks' block party attracting over 300 trick-or-treaters each year.

    The home's curb appeal has made it a go-to location for brands seeking to capture a warm, family-friendly aesthetic. Its charm has been showcased in various commercials, including a sentimental Mother's Day ad from 1-800-Flowers and a holiday comedy skit featuring Leslie Jones on "The Daily Show." The Marks' most unforgettable moment came when Kohl's shot a back-to-school ad inside, which they later spotted on their hotel TV during a family vacation to Hawaii.

    This unique property is now listed for $2.3 million by Eric Volpe and Andrea Kelly of Corcoran, offering prospective buyers the chance to own a piece of Brooklyn's history and become part of its vibrant community.
