Michelle Williams, the acclaimed star of Brokeback Mountain, is making waves in the real estate market by renting out her stunning 6,500-square-foot mansion in Brooklyn for a staggering $35,000 per month. This property, affectionately dubbed the “Tara of Prospect Park South,” evokes the grandeur of the iconic plantation home from Gone With the Wind with its stately fluted columns and expansive covered porch.
A Timeless Treasure
Constructed in 1910, this Colonial Revival masterpiece boasts eight bedrooms, six full bathrooms, and three half-bathrooms, providing ample space for both family living and entertaining. Williams purchased the estate for $2.5 million in 2015 and has since transformed it into a modern sanctuary while preserving its historical charm. The home features beautifully restored original details like curvy bay windows and elegant porches, skillfully renovated by Matiz Architecture and Workstead Design.
Nestled just two blocks from the lush expanse of Prospect Park, the mansion stands out with its meticulously landscaped grounds and classic architectural details. The grand entryway welcomes visitors with an original staircase, leading into a formal living room with a cozy fireplace, an inviting dining room with a window seat, and a library adorned with built-in bookshelves.
