Captain Picard may have explored the farthest corners of the galaxy, but for more than a decade, Sir Patrick Stewart‘s favorite place on Earth was a quiet, tree-lined block in Park Slope.
And it turns out he said goodbye to it a little earlier than anyone knew.
The beloved actor, who died Wednesday at 86 after a brief battle with Alzheimer’s disease and Lewy body dementia, quietly sold his Brooklyn home in July 2025 for $3.9 million, the New York Post exclusively reported this week.
That’s $1.4 million more than the $2.5 million he paid for it back in 2012.
Inside Patrick Stewart’s Park Slope carriage house
This wasn’t your typical Brooklyn brownstone.
Stewart’s home was a converted carriage house on Seventh Street, set up as a duplex condo with three bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms across 2,176 square feet.
The highlights read like a Park Slope wish list:
- A private elevator that opens with a key
- A fireplace
- A 31-foot great room that combines the living room, dining room and kitchen
- A sprawling rooftop terrace
The buyer’s name is hidden behind an LLC, according to city records cited by the Post.
How a Starfleet captain became a Brooklyn neighbor
Stewart didn’t just own a place in Park Slope. He fully embraced it, swapping red carpets for stoops and strollers.
Back in 2013, he made headlines for posting a photo of his very first New York pizza slice from Smiling Pizza, captioned: “My first ever pizza ‘slice.’ Please note: the authentic NY fold.” (He later clarified he’d eaten pizza before, just never a slice on its own.)
He poked fun at the neighborhood’s legendary stroller traffic, popped up at local events, and in 2022 showed up at a block party in what he called his “beloved neighborhood.”
To his Park Slope neighbors, he wasn’t Sir Patrick or Captain Picard. He was just the friendly guy from down the street.
His wife, singer Sunny Ozell, was his partner through it all.
The two married in 2013, with his close friend Sir Ian McKellen officiating. Sunny was by his side when he died, CBS News reports.
A legend on screen and on stage
To most of the world, Stewart was Captain Jean-Luc Picard of “Star Trek: The Next Generation” and Professor Charles Xavier of the “X-Men” films.
But he was a Shakespearean stage actor long before Hollywood came calling, and he never stopped returning to the theater, including on Broadway.
His family said he died surrounded by loved ones, live music and prayer, in the “warm embrace of family and friends.”
For New Yorkers, though, he’ll always be the knight down the block who learned to fold his pizza like a local.
Rest easy, Captain.
