Known for being soft-spoken yet hilarious in many of his quirky comedies, Michael Cera is not one to be overly flashy off-screen either. Although he is an accomplished actor, the Canadian native seems to be attracted to laidback homes where luxury definitely exists, but is understated. A prime example of this is his latest purchase of a charming Brooklyn townhouse on the Clinton Hill/Bedford–Stuyvesant border. The five-bedroom, three-bath home cost him a cool $2.4 million and will be the perfect place for him to enjoy the best in low-key living in New York City.Home to Jay-Z, Bed-Stuy is still considered an up-and-coming neighborhood in BK that still remains pretty celebrity-free. Similar to the characters he plays, Michael Cera is a celebrity known for doing things off the beaten path, which may explain why he was pulled to a quiet, tree-lined street here instead of some trendy SoHo loft.The star may also have fallen in love with the circa-1899 home’s bright spaces filled with personality and original details. Marble mantles, wide wood plank floors, the original mahogany staircase railing, and oodles more unique elements make this house one-of-a-kind. One space no one really wants to be original from 1899 is the kitchen, which has thankfully been completely renovated so Cera can cook for himself and friends whenever he’s in town.With the lower level configured as its own small unit, the Arrested Development star can give visitors their space, or start renting it out for some extra cash.Nadine Adamson and Kelsey Hall of Brown Harris Stevens had the darling listing, which Mansion Global first reported sold to the celebrity actor.
