La La Anthony, actor, entrepreneur, and Carmelo Anthony’s ex-wife, is selling a headline-making slice of Clinton Hill. She has listed her Brooklyn townhouse for $8.5 million, after purchasing the property in 2023 for $6.2 million and revamping the entire 5,582-square-foot residence.
Described as a 25-foot-wide custom passive-house townhouse with a private garage, in-home elevator, and garden oasis, the home blends high-end design with performance-driven construction. Passive-house standards emphasize energy efficiency, strong indoor air quality, and quieter interiors—features increasingly prized by buyers shopping at the top of the Brooklyn market.
The listing highlights a set of amenities that signal true turnkey living:
The main residence spans over 4,000 square feet across four levels. It opens into a dramatic great room with double-height volume and oversized windows, designed to feel open, bright, and airy.
A custom chef’s kitchen anchors the entertaining space with bespoke cabinetry, top-tier appliances, a wine bar, and premium fixtures. From there, the home flows to a large terrace and down to a landscaped garden—creating a rare indoor-outdoor setup in the heart of Clinton Hill.
The primary suite takes over an entire floor, complete with its own terrace and a spa-style bathroom featuring a soaking tub, radiant heated floors, a glass-enclosed shower, and a heated towel rack. A walk-in closet with custom shelving rounds out the suite’s “private sanctuary” feel.
The upper level adds even more versatility with an open area, a full bath, and an expansive terrace, ideal as a media room, gym, creative studio, or additional sleeping space depending on a buyer’s needs.
The home also includes a separate 1,582-square-foot duplex apartment with its own entrance. It’s positioned as either a strong rental-income option—estimated around $8,500 per month—or a space that can be integrated into the main home for guest quarters, a live-in nanny suite, or a private office setup.
Beyond the interiors, the neighborhood remains part of the pitch. Clinton Hill offers a balance that’s hard to replicate: residential blocks and classic Brooklyn character, with easy access to beloved local restaurants and cafes, plus convenient proximity to Downtown Brooklyn and Williamsburg.
For buyers, it’s not just a celebrity listing—it’s the kind of modern, feature-rich townhouse package that rarely comes available in this part of the borough.
