Brooklyn Heights townhouse, Quay Tower score borough’s biggest contracts
Middagh Street home offers chance to build carriage house
The buyers of the most expensive Brooklyn home to go into contract last week will have the option to build a second home — in their carport.
The townhouse at 56 Middagh Street in Brooklyn Heights was asking $9.2 million, according to Compass’ weekly report on the borough’s luxury market.
The 25-foot-wide, five-story townhouse is 4,400 square feet and has four bedrooms and three bathrooms. It has original large plank wood floors, double-height windows and a large chef’s kitchen.
The parlor level includes a dining area with a built-in banquet and living room with a wood-burning fireplace. Outside is a landscaped garden with a patio and a three-car garage, which can be converted to a three-story, three-bedroom carriage house.
