The most expensive home to go into contract in Brooklyn last week was asking more than the next two homes combined.
A Brooklyn Heights townhouse asking $10 million at 126 State Street topped the borough’s luxury contracts between Nov. 29 and Dec. 5, according to Compass’ weekly report.
The 6,010-square-foot home, which cost $1,648 per square foot, has six bedrooms and five bathrooms. It has a 62-foot deep parlor and garden floor, as well as a bedroom with a walk-in dressing room and a bathroom with a steam shower and soaking tub.
The next two homes on the list were last asking $4.5 million, each.
Second on the list was a 2,593-square-foot condo at 1 John Street in Dumbo priced at $1,736 per square foot. The home has four bedrooms and three and a half bathrooms, as well as sound-attenuated windows and 10-foot ceilings throughout.
The other was a six-bedroom, three-and-a-half bathroom townhouse at 73 82nd Street in Bay Ridge. The 3,965-square-foot home costs $1,138 per square foot and has a temperature-controlled wine grotto and two-car garage.
