Brooklyn home featured in TV and magazine shoots asks $2.3M
This picture-perfect Victorian home in Ditmas Park, Brooklyn is a dream house — and, chances are, you’ve seen it on TV.
Listed at $2.3 million, the four-bedroom, 2.5-bath property at 28 Wellington Court has served as the backdrop for more than 100 television productions and ad campaigns, making it one of Brooklyn’s most recognizable residences.
Over the past seven years, the homeowners Jason and Crystal Marks — who work in advertising — have opened their doors to major productions, from “The Daily Show” to national commercials for Kohl’s, HomeGoods and BMW.
Beyond its screen appeal, there’s more that makes this residence a get for a prospective new owner.
“So much about the charm of this house is the neighborhood it sits in,” the Marks told The Post.
The couple purchased the dwelling in 2016 for $1.98 million, records show.
With its bay windows, rocking-chair porch and tree-lined cul-de-sac, the home embodies classic Americana, despite the fact it’s within New York City limits.
That said, this curb appeal has made it a go-to set for brands looking to capture a warm, family-friendly aesthetic.
In 2023, “The Daily Show” filmed a holiday comedy skit here, featuring Leslie Jones hilariously shutting down overbearing relatives at Thanksgiving.
A year prior, 1-800-Flowers used the house in a sentimental Mother’s Day commercial celebrating family bonds.
But for the Marks, the most unforgettable moment came in 2021 when Kohl’s shot a back-to-school ad inside. The family used their earnings to take a vacation to Hawaii — only to see their home appear in the commercial on their hotel TV.
The 2,900-square-foot home blends historic charm with modern updates.
Restored stained-glass windows and original hardwood floors nod to its early 20th-century roots, while a sleek kitchen with marble countertops and a cozy reading room-turned-office offer contemporary comfort.
The top-floor owner’s suite boasts a dramatic ceiling, a walk-in closet and a bathroom with a clawfoot tub positioned beneath a skylight.
Beyond the house itself, the neighborhood exudes a rare small-town vibe in the middle of Brooklyn.
The block is home to artists and musicians who host porch-front jazz concerts, while community-led events like block parties, dinner gathering and art shows foster a tight-knit feel.
But Halloween is the real showstopper.
“Our neighborhood owns Halloween,” the Marks shared. “We organize a block party with DJs, elaborate decorations and parades, and we see over 300 trick-or-treaters come to our door every year.”
