Brooklyn’s luxury market last week slowed from the previous period, and notched its highest average discount of the year in the process.
Twelve homes asking $2 million or more went into contract last week, according to Compass’ weekly report. The contracts had an average 6 percent discount.
The most expensive property to enter contract was 39 Willow Place in Brooklyn Heights, asking just under $6 million. The townhouse, built in 1930, has eight bedrooms and four full bathrooms across 4,800 square feet.
The 25-foot-wide home has its original red-brick facade, as well has hard-carved plaster moldings and high ceilings. The property also has a rear garden.
The second most expensive property to enter contract last week was unit 23AB at 75 Livingston Street in Brooklyn Heights, last asking $4.2 million. The co-op, built in 1927, has three bedrooms and three full bathrooms.
It also has a media room, a large entrance gallery and an all-stainless-steel eat-in kitchen, as well as two terraces. Amenities at the building include a 24-hour doorman and live-in super.
It’s rare for co-ops to make the Brooklyn luxury report — because there are fewer of them than in Manhattan — and even rarer for them to place in the top two most expensive contracts.
