A restored townhouse in Park Slope and a new build in Williamsburg led Brooklyn’s luxury real estate market last week, according to Compass’ weekly report. From September 15 to September 21, buyers signed 19 contracts for homes priced at $2 million or more, totaling $54 million in asking volume. This matches the previous week’s contract count but is slightly below its $55 million total. Compared to the same period last year, both contract numbers and dollar volume were down; there were 21 contracts for $59 million during that time.
The most expensive deal was for a historic townhouse at 448 Sixth Street in Park Slope, listed at $6.5 million. Tech entrepreneur Mark Jung purchased the property in 2023 for $4.9 million and renovated the approximately 3,500-square-foot home extensively. The five-bedroom residence features 1,200 square feet of outdoor space with landscaped gardens on the roof and in the back.
Inside, the parlor level includes an antique marble mantelpiece from the Plaza Hotel at the front and sliding glass doors leading to a balcony overlooking a double-height solarium facing the south garden. The primary suite on the fourth floor offers a gas fireplace, bay reading nook, walk-through closet, and a renovated bathroom with double vanity sink and rain shower. Roberta Golubock of Sotheby’s International Realty handled this listing.
The second highest-priced contract was for a newly built townhouse at 196 Withers Street in Williamsburg, which had an asking price of $3.75 million. The home spans 2,850 square feet with four bedrooms and three full bathrooms. It has a hand-crafted red-brick facade and oversized casement windows framed in black steel. The primary suite comes with a dressing room and bathroom featuring a walk-in shower, separate toilet room, and double sink; there is also a finished roof deck atop the building. Deborah Rieders, Sarah Shuken, and Angelina Celeste Martinez of Corcoran represented this listing.
Last week’s luxury homes under contract had an average price per square foot of $1,578 and a median asking price of $2.5 million.
