Historic homes claimed the top contracts in Brooklyn once again last week.
Townhouses scored 12 of the 19 contracts signed from April 17 to 23 for Kings County homes asking $2 million or more, according to Compass. They also led the borough’s luxury market in the previous week.
The most expensive Brooklyn home to find a buyer last week was 185 Amity Street in Cobble Hill, asking $6.5 million. The rowhouse, built in 1852, spans 4,600 square feet and has seven bedrooms and three bathrooms.
The 25-foot-wide property also features three outdoor spaces, including a landscaped garden, as well as floor-to-ceiling windows, stained glass pocket doors and hand-carved marble mantles.
Corcoran’s Deborah Rieders had the listing.
Several pricey townhomes in Cobble Hill have gone into contract in the past couple of months, including 469 Henry Street, asking $11 million, and 128 Pacific Street, which scored a $12 million off-market deal in March.
The second most expensive home to enter into contract last week was 10 Prospect Place in Park Slope, with an asking price of $4.3 million. The 25-foot-wide townhouse, built in the 1880s, spans 5,500 square feet and has nine bedrooms and four bathrooms.
It also includes a deck and terrace with views of Manhattan and Brooklyn, marble mantles, circular skylight and rounded doorways.
Corcoran’s Vanessa Connelly had the listing.
Five more luxury homes found a buyer in Brooklyn last week than in the previous period. In addition to the 12 townhouses, deals were signed for six condo apartments and one co-op.
The average asking price was $3.1 million and the average price per square foot was $1,236. The 19 homes spent an average of 224 days on the market and had an average discount of 4 percent from the original listing price.
