There once was a little movie called “Moonstruck.” You may have heard of the actress who starred in it: she goes by Cher. A four-story home was featured in the film as Cher’s family home.

The home, a Federal style brownstone, takes up the corner at Cranberry and Willow in Brooklyn Heights. It was built in 1829 and is touted to have been beautifully maintained while keeping original details.

The couple who owned the home, Edward and Francesca Rullman, have been there since 1959. They originally listed the place in 2006 for $5,000,000. It recently sold for close to $4,000,000.

The buyers didn’t take the property because of its link to the movie, but rather because they loved the home and its location (10 minutes to Wall Street and 20 minutes to Mid-town). We would love a 4,160-square-foot brownstone as well. It looks like a great place with a ton of potential.

Cher no longer wants to be Malibu Barbie. She’s putting her (approximately) 14,000-square-foot mansion (Mr. Big Time lists it as just over 13,000 sq. ft., as does Real Estalker) up for sale. To the tune of $45,000,000. That’s just crazy talk! But, it’s true, and listed with Hilton & Hyland.

The Wall Street Journal wrote about the listing today. And this evening, we found the listing on the MLS. Unfortunately, there’s only one picture right now. We’re hoping for more at a later time (we’ll see).

You don’t often find 1.7 acre estates in Malibu. That alone probably makes this property worth quite a bit. But $45 million? She must be very hopeful during the current real estate market.

The monstrous home has 6 bedrooms, 7 bathrooms, a theatre, gym, and several verandas — according to listing information. Apparently even the tennis court has quite a view. The property also has an infinity pool and a guest house.

We really wish there was a more detailed description of the property available so we could tell you more. We’ll keep researching and let you know if we come up with a bit more about this estate.

Update: For more info about the home, including some great pictures, see the Architectural Digest write-up on Cher’s home. Hat tip to reader Mike for the link. Thanks, Mike!
