Matt Damon's Neighbor: $4M Brooklyn Duplex Hits Market

A duplex apartment in the Standish, a historic Beaux-Arts building in Brooklyn Heights, has listed for $4 million. The building, completed in 1903 and designed by Frank S. Lowe, originally opened as the Standish Arms hotel before conversion to condos. It has attracted celebrities: Matt Damon bought the triplex penthouse for $16.7 million in 2018, and Emily Blunt and John Krasinski purchased a full-floor apartment for $11 million in 2019. The 1,786-square-foot duplex features 12-foot ceilings, arched windows, herringbone floors, and interiors by Patrick Mele. It includes two en suite bedrooms, a 30-foot great room, Carrara marble kitchen counters, and a private storage unit. The building offers 24-hour doorman, concierge, fitness studio, and rooftop terrace. The listing is held by Deb Rieders at Corcoran. The Standish also has pop culture ties: its name was used for Clark Kent's apartment in Superman comics and referenced in Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman.
