Amy Schumer Lists Her 200-Year-Old Brooklyn Townhouse for $14 Million

In early 2022 Amy Schumer hoisted her Manhattan penthouse on the market and picked up a renovated and restored 19th-century townhouse in Brooklyn. Fast forward almost three years, and the comedian and actress has decided to pull up stakes again and return to the Upper West Side, hoisting her Federal-style residence in historic Brooklyn Heights up for sale at $14 million. Adam Modlin of Modlin Group and Karen and Kyle Talbott of Corcoran Group hold the listing.
Records show The Kinda Pregnant and I Feel Pretty star and her chef husband Chris Fischer acquired the early 1800s property in summer 2022 for nearly $12.3 million and then customized it to suit their personal tastes.

Notably featured as the Castorini family's home in the 1987 Oscar-winning film Moonstruck starring Cher and Nicolas Cage, the brick and mansard-roof structure clocks in at 26 feet wide and has four (and potentially five) bedrooms and four baths spread across a little more than 5,500 square feet on a total of five levels donning a whopping total of 30 windows for an abundance of natural light.
Standing out on the first floor is a kitchen outfitted with an exposed beam ceiling, wide-plank floors, vintage wood cabinetry, a marble-topped island, top-tier Gaggenau and Lacanche appliances, a butler's pantry with a zinc bar sink, and a breakfast nook. An adjacent wood-paneled bedroom-turned-library connects to a mudroom, which opens to a Michael Van Valkenburgh-landscaped backyard that currently holds a turf-clad play area but could easily be repurposed as a private gated parking space.
The main entrance on the second level leads to a duo of fireside parlors divided by large pocketing doors, plus a powder room and access to an iron-railed terrace with steps descending to the backyard. A grand primary suite occupying the entire third floor has a corner bedroom warmed by an original fireplace, as well as dressing and sitting rooms, an office, and a marble bath flaunting another fireplace, dual vanities, a vintage clawfoot soaking tub, and a floating glass-encased shower.
Three more bedrooms that share a penny-tiled bath can be found on the top floor, along with a Miele washer and dryer. Rounding it all out in style is the basement, which hosts a custom wine cellar, an excavated gym, and full laundry facilities.
Per The Wall Street Journal, which first reported the listing, the New York native has decided to sell because she and her husband want to be closer to their 5-year-old son's school in Manhattan. 'He got into a good school,' she said, 'and we're too lazy to commute 45 minutes to take our son to school every day.'Best of Robb Report

Hercules' DJControl Mix Ultra is a Mobile DJ Controller for ... Mobiles

In 2025, there isn't much you can't be or do if you wanted to (thanks, technology) – and if becoming aDJ's been on your list, it's never been easier. Enter the Hercules DJControl Mix Ultra: a truly compact mobileDJ controllerthat's made for, well, mobiles. Designed to work seamlessly with smartphones and small tablets, it's the latest addition to Hercules' lineup – and it delivers a ton of features at an accessible price. Weighing in at just 1.9-pounds and measuring 12.4-inches by 6.9-inches, the Mix Ultra is a super portable and lightweight DJ controller that slips easily into most standard backpacks. It's powered by a 1,000 mAh rechargeable battery that can deliver up to 10 hours of use on a single charge, and can recharge to full in one hour. The2025 CES Innovation Award-winning device connects to your phone over Bluetooth LE – the 'low energy' version of Bluetooth that maintains connectivity without using too much power – allowing users to enjoy a cable-free session for longer. It uses your phone as its audio source, letting you load up tracks you have saved on your device or play from popular streaming platforms, and comes with a splitter cable in the box that lets you connect both headphones and speakers to it – splitting the audio channels this way allows you to hear what you're mixing (in your headphones) separately to the master output (from the speakers), although its worth noting that it achieves this by creating two mono tracks. For beginners and hobbyists, at who the Mix Ultra is aimed at, this shouldn't be a big issue, and it's safe to say Hercules isn't trying to target more experienced DJs – or audio purists – with its latest product. The Mix Ultra features eight effects pads that allows users to hot cue, creates loops, play audio 'FX' among other things. One of these pads, 'Neural Mix', lets you isolate a track's stems (its individual elements, like the vocals or bassline) to use these in your own mixes, opening up a world of creativity when it comes to DJ'ing. Another pad provides pitch control, and there's even a sampler pad that allows you to add your own samples, but also comes ready with a few included for you to use. The controller has a tri-band EQ for the low, mid and high frequencies – the same kind of EQ you'd find on most basic DJ mixers – with rubber knobs that turn smoothly. And, for transport, it includes an easily removable protective travel cover that doubles-up as a phone holder once removed: you simply place the Mix Ultra on top of it, like a tray, and a handy slot for your phone takes form toward the rear. It's compatible with both iOS and Android devices and there is a companion app, 'djay', for both platforms – it's free and you can download it on theApple App StoreandGoogle Play Store. While the Hercules DJControl Mix Ultra is a far cry from the industry standard ($3,000 to 4,000 USD) controllers you'll find in clubs worldwide, it's also a fraction of the price. It packs several features that make it ideal for those just starting to explore the hobby, and fun enough for more experienced DJs who just want to play around with some beats. The Hercules DJControl Mix Ultra is available nowvia Herculespriced at £149.99 GBP / $‌219.99 USD.

26 Things From Etsy You Can Buy Because You're An Adult And Make Your Own Decisions

A Goldfish trophy for the pro angler — OK, pro snacker — who wants to showcase their amazing abilities (fishing in the bag for the last remaining crumbs). A pocket library complete with mini books. Give it a shake to satisfy your lust for destruction, then meditatively put them back on their shelves when you need a little screen break. A Puppagotchi tag to celebrate the fact that you graduated from virtual to real pets. Remembering to feed them, pick up poop, provide ample pats — same thing, really. Dagger-shaped push pins so you can dramatically add your to-do list to your corkboard. Main quest chores like doing the dishes will have to wait — there are more exciting side quests (like decorating your corkboard) to take care of first! A pasta box keychain with lil' bowties you can shake around. A perfect accessory for anyone who plans on ordering noodles with butter at the restaurant later. And a pair of handmade farfalle barrettes that are almost im-pasta-bly cute. Pair with some butter earrings to complete the look. A McLovin fake ID I'm pretty sure would work if you flashed it at a liquor store. Luckily, we're all adults here with backup IDs in case it doesn't. Freshly baked, Hokkaido-style milk bread so pillowy soft, you'll want to take a nap on it like that influencer who pushes her face into different breads. If boomers can splurge on little porcelain figurines, you can splurge on fluffy bread for next-level breakfast pics. One reviewer said tasting this heavenly loaf transported them back to Japan. 🇯🇵 An outrageously silly Sonny Angel shelf you can use to display your favorite lil' naked babies — or any other small figurines. I wonder who you'll pick for the coveted cloud swing spot. A silly goose badge — congrats on your promotion! Now that you've been deputized, let's hit the streets and start pieing people in the face. Magnets shaped like Goldfish or chocolate truffles, to really capture the magic of your kitchen (the place where the snacks are). Promising review (for the Goldfish): "These are really awesome. They have a tactile feel like the real thing! Magnets are super powerful. I'm going to buy a few more. Love these." —TamedGet the six Goldfish from Handy Cute Art for $10.50 or the three chocolate truffles from Bows & Silos for $19.95. A brass dragon journal clip that makes even the stuffiest of work feel like you're playing a round of Dungeons & Dragons! Adding another 9 am meeting to your agenda? Better roll for Constitution. 😬 Puffy bookends in bright colors to make your bookshelf feel like it came straight from the MoMA gift shop — even if you have more romantasy novels than sleek art books. A magical Disney sun catcher to make your home the happiest place on Earth — because rainbows = happiness, duh. A pair of cowboy chicken earrings with some great, flashy boots. Bob your head to make them do a lil' square dance. A jumbo carrot body pillow in case you wanna inject some serious vitamin A into your home. Snuggle up with this 4-foot-long plush and live out Bugs Bunny's greatest dream. An adorable acetate hair claw because why settle for a plain one when there are an infinite number of far cuter options? Good luck picking one! It was hard enough to pick just three to show you. Promising review (for the bow): "It's a very cute hair claw that's well made. Thank you so much! :)" —AmyGet them from Etsy: the bow from New Heights Studio for $20, the bok choy from Sunnie Creative for $18, or the Pompompurin from CuteSewLuna for $20. A New Moon filter keychain so you can look at the world as if it were featured in the Twilight Saga. Bright summer day? Gross! Throw some moody Washington dreariness over it. A large Prismo tufted rug, which might be peak Millennial home decor. Like all of Prismo's wishes, you'll get what you want (a cool as heck rug) but with a catch (your parents will sigh every time they see it). Bath spaghetti so you can feel like a lil' meatball swimming in a tub of marinara. If only you had this as a kid! Don't worry; this unique body wash doesn't smell like tomato sauce — instead, expect zesty orange and grapefruit. A UFO abduction lamp to add a little Mulder to your otherwise Scully-esque desk. It comes with a color-changing remote so you can pick whatever hue matches the moo-d (sorry). Or a pair of earrings depicting a UFO abduction scene — not even extra-terrestrials can resist a good cat snuggle. A coconut wax candle with a 3D hot dog poking out of it. Don't worry! It doesn't smell like lunch meat — you can pick a scent like citrus, lavender, or coconut cream. A Perry the Platypus mug complete with fedora lid. Just remove the hat when you want to pour in your drink where did Perry go? The ceramic mug is handmade, so it takes about 10 days to make. A glass butterfly ring to create the illusion that you're a fairy princess who often has sparkly butterflies land on them. A pack of medieval cat stickers for anyone who loves a good wonky feline. Amazing how cat memes have existed for thousands of years.
