Brown Harris Stevens has just come to market with what has to be the most expensive townhouse ever in Park Slope. At $7.5 million, the listing price puts Jonathan Safran Foer’s $6.2 million $5.75 million purchase of 646 2nd Street to shame. And what do you get for this kind of cash? The 31-footer at 45 Montgomery Place has over 7,000 square feet of space with oval rooms that have rounded doors and radiators, a grand center staircase, multiple original fireplaces. There’s really not much point in debating the price. It’s worth $7.5 million if some fabulously wealthy person falls in love with it. The question will really be how long that takes and how much patience the seller has. Does anyone know anything about the house’s history? Past Owner? Architectural pedigree?
