Schumer, known for her roles in movies like I Feel Pretty and Snatched, reportedly said in 2022 that she wanted to sell the apartment to be closer to her son’s school.
The comedian has a three-year-old son Gene David Fischer with her husband, chef and farmer Chris Fischer.
According to the Wall Street Journal, the family has moved into a four-story Brooklyn brownstone, which was featured in the 1987 movie Moonstruck starring Nicolas Cage and Cher.
The five-bedroom, three-bath home was once owned by architect Edward Rullman, who played a pivotal role in the movement to designate the Brooklyn Heights Historic District.
Built in the early 1800s, the eight-foot-wide brick house retains many of the period details, such as fireplaces with original marble mantelpieces and a wood-lined library, in addition to new amenities such as a gym and wine cellar.
