The townhouse, at 57 Wyckoff Street, went into contract asking $10 million, more than any other property in the borough, according to Compass’ weekly report on Brooklyn homes asking $2 million or more.
The home is unusually modern for a row house in brownstone Brooklyn — made possible by its location just outside the Cobble Hill Historic District, meaning it is not in the Landmarks Preservation Commission’s jurisdiction.
The asking price for the five-story, 25-foot wide home was reduced a month ago by $755,000, according to Streeteasy. The six-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom home has an elevator and a rooftop hot tub that offers skyline views. It also has a penthouse floor with two bedrooms, and a Japanese-inspired backyard garden.
The oversized primary bathroom has a glass enclosed marble wet room and a freestanding fiberglass tub. Control 4 Lutron panels automate lighting, shades, security, music and the 10 climate zones within the home.

The upper level has a formal dining room, a media room, and two terraces with automatic irrigation systems, a jacuzzi and city views. Building amenities include a concierge, an indoor pool and a gym.
Twenty-six luxury Brooklyn homes went into contract last week — including eight condo units, one co-op and 17 townhouses — up from 18 the week before. The homes’ asking prices were a combined $90.7 million and the median asking price was $2.8 million. They spent an average of 87 days on the market and the average asking-price discount was 1 percent.
