A pair of Brooklyn Heights townhouses were the priciest single-family homes to hit the market in Brooklyn in August, according to listings service Point2 Homes.
A seven-bedroom, 1820s-era Federal-style home at 113 Willow Street topped the list, with a $12.5 million asking price. Douglas Elliman’s Alexander Maroni is marketing the 5,000-square-foot property. The other townhouse is a four-bedroom home at 165 Columbia Heights, asking nearly $10 million. Gabriele Devlin and Lee Summers of Sotheby’s International Realty have the listing.
The third priciest listing is particularly notable in that it broke a neighborhood record for Williamsburg — a six-bedroom penthouse condominium unit at Xinyuan Real Estate’s the Oosten development, at 429 Kent Avenue. The 5,000-square-foot unit, listed by Halstead Property’s Lauren Canetti, Shelley Wasserman and Robert Lynn, is asking $6.4 million.

The borough’s priciest listing overall continues to be a 12th-floor condo at One Brooklyn Bridge Park in Dumbo, asking $32 million.
