A newly built townhouse in Carroll Gardens led Brooklyn’s luxury residential market last week, according to Compass’ latest report on contracts signed for homes priced at $2 million or more. The property, located at 405 Sackett Street and listed for $8 million, was the most expensive contract signed between August 18 and August 24.
The report shows that a total of 20 contracts were signed during the week—split evenly between condos and houses—with a combined contract volume of $67 million. This figure represents a decrease from the previous week’s $83 million across the same number of deals but is higher than the $48 million reported during the same period last year.
The four-story townhouse at 405 Sackett Street offers approximately 4,500 square feet with six bedrooms and four bathrooms. Features include a marble mantle and ethanol fireplace in the sitting room, a chef’s kitchen on the parlor level, and a garden level with double-height ceilings, custom wet bar, access to an outdoor kitchen, and landscaped garden. The third floor contains the primary suite with walk-in closet, marble shower room with heated floors, while a roof terrace provides skyline views. The property also comes with valet parking for two years.
Ruben Damaghi, known for his work as a real estate developer in Brownstone Brooklyn, was identified as the seller. Douglas Elliman agents Alexander Maroni and Jack Chiu represented the listing.
The second highest-priced contract was for another townhouse at 29 Lefferts Place in Clinton Hill. Listed at $6.25 million, this nearly 5,800-square-foot home includes six bedrooms and four full bathrooms. It features a private 37-foot garden and access to a two-story garage. Inside are white oak herringbone floors on the parlor level—where ceilings exceed 11 feet—and a living room with wood-burning fireplace. The full-floor primary suite has its own walk-in closet and en-suite bathroom with double vanity, soaking tub, and glass-enclosed shower. Compass agents Tali Berzak and Isaac Metcalf had this listing.
For all homes entering contract last week in Brooklyn’s luxury segment, the average price per square foot was reported at $1,500 while median asking price stood at $2.75 million.
