Before his death at age 86, “Star Trek” legend Patrick Stewart was more than a Hollywood icon — he was a beloved Brooklyn neighbor.

The British actor, who died Wednesday following a brief battle with Alzheimer’s disease and Lewy body dementia, became a famed fixture in Park Slope after purchasing a $2.5 million duplex in 2012.

His arrival made waves in the brownstone-lined neighborhood, where the Shakespearean actor embraced Brooklyn life far from the Hollywood spotlight — having GQ label him the “coolest guy ever” as a result.

The three-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom condo, inside a converted carriage house on Seventh Street, featured 2,176 square feet of living space, a private elevator, a fireplace and a sprawling rooftop terrace, according to the original listing.

And, ultimately, he had a good run there.

The property quietly changed hands for $3.9 million in July 2025, according to city records — $1.4 million more than Stewart’s 2012 purchase price. At the time of that sale, the listing — as seen in Compass marketing materials — detailed the chic nest inside a converted carriage house. Other perks include a 31-foot living, dining and kitchen area and access via a keyed elevator.

The current owner’s identity is shielded by an LLC.

But it was his affection for the neighborhood that made the actor a local favorite.

In 2013, Stewart sparked an internet frenzy after posting a photo of himself eating his first-ever New York-style pizza slice at Smiling Pizza in Park Slope.

“My first ever pizza ‘slice.’ Please note: the authentic NY fold,” he wrote on Twitter.

The then-72-year-old later clarified that he had eaten pizza before — just never a slice on its own.

He also poked fun at Park Slope’s stroller culture and became a familiar face at neighborhood gatherings.

In 2022, Stewart attended a local block party, celebrating the community he affectionately called his “beloved neighborhood.”

“Here, you’re a neighbor,” local designer Lawrence “XL” Abdullah told Patch at the time.

Stewart, best known for portraying Captain Jean-Luc Picard in “Star Trek: The Next Generation” and Professor Charles Xavier in the “X-Men” films, died in Los Angeles surrounded by loved ones.
