Park Slope Townhouse Tops Brooklyn’s Luxury Contracts
A Park Slope townhouse with a private driveway and a two-car garage topped Brooklyn’s luxury market last week.
The home was one of 18 — nine condos, one co-op and eight single-family homes — asking at least $2 million to find a buyer, according to Compass’ weekly contracts report from July 13 to July 19. The total contract volume was $58 million.
The previous week saw 30 contracts signed for $137 million.
The priciest contract was for the townhouse at 683 10th Street in Park Slope asking $5.8 million.
Spanning 4,700 square feet, the four-story home sits on a double-wide lot and has a private driveway that leads to a two-car garage. The home is currently set up as a two-family home with an upper triplex and a two-bedroom garden-level unit.
The home appears to have not been extensively renovated, as a StreetEasy listing explains that it has room “potential for thoughtful updates.” It still has a number of original details including mantles, parquet floors, pocket shutters and doors, and moldings.
The upper triplex has four bedrooms and two full bathrooms and the lower level has two bedrooms and one full bathroom.
The home first hit the market in April asking $8.8 million, had a small price cut in May and then went into contract just over two weeks after its price dropped to $5.8 million.
Townsley & Gay’s Elaine Gay and Michael Sabin had the listing.
The second priciest contract signed last week was for a townhouse unit at a boutique condo in Williamsburg at 76 North 8th Street.
Asking $4.9 million, Unit 1 is a triplex that spans 2,400 square feet and has another 1,100 square feet of private outdoor space. The home has one “legal bedroom,” according to the StreetEasy listing, along with two bathrooms and a recreation room.
The main floor living room and dining room connect to the back garden through oversized sliding glass doors. The upper level has a primary suite with a walk-in closet, en-suite bathroom and office space. The lower level has a large rec room that connects to a back patio.
Serhant’s Mallory Bogard, Brandon Bogard and Katie Hertsch had the listing.
The home is one of three units at the boutique condo from development firm LTNG. The project is the firm’s second in the area after it launched sales last year on a two-unit development at 584 Leonard Street, which sold out for a combined $10.4 million.
