1. PROSPECT HEIGHTS $3,300,000
1 Grand Army Plaza, #PH15N GMAP
This is the second of OPP’s penthouses to sell, which we told you about last Friday. (There are three more to come.) On the market for $3.5M, this four-bedroom unit comes in at more than 3,000 square feet. It had been on the market since September 2010. Entered into contract on 6/5/09; closed on 4/13/11; deed recorded on 4/26/2011.

2. PARK SLOPE $2,800,000
614 2nd Street GMAP
This five-story limestone was HOTD back in 2008. Back then we said the $3,900,000 price tag was a little high, especially since the renovations felt a bit overdone. Since then it was pulled from the market, relisted, pulled again, and then came back with Brown Harris Stevens at a price of $2,995,000. It spent a few more months on the market before it finally sold, pretty close to the new ask. Entered into contract on 1/13/11; closed on 4/15/2011; deed recorded on 4/28/11.

3. COBBLE HILL $2,695,000
371 Clinton Street GMAP
When we told you 371 Clinton Street, which was HOTD in March, sold for ask, the sale got a lot of talk! The home is only 15 feet wide but we thought it has a nice rustic feel to it. We were pretty impressed the narrow house didn’t have much trouble finding a buyer at ask. Entered into contract on 3/21/2011; closed on 4/20/2011; deed recorded on 4/26/11.

4. WILLIAMSBURG $2,340,447.63
34 North 7th Street, #PH2C GMAP
This penthouse sale at The Edge is a biggie. The three bedroom was listed at $2,550,000 and spent 115 days on the market. It’s boasting 2,000 square feet of space; this unit also came with extra storage space. Entered into contract on 7/2/2010; closed on 10/15/2010; deed recorded on 11/4/10.

5. CARROLL GARDENS $2,225,000
283 Carroll Street GMAP
283 Carroll Street is a three-family townhouse with “6 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, a parlor room with 13ft ceilings, crystal chandelier, stunning marble fireplace mantel with pocket doors.” It was asking $2,275,000 and has been on the market since September 2010. Entered into contract on 1/25/2011; closed on 4/1/11; deed recorded on 4/26/11.

  1. DiBS, I think I’ll sit this one out for now. No one has mentioned the super-rich yet.

    That being said, one reason I moved to a brownstone is that my taxes and overhead on the whole building are a fraction of the maintenance on the Upper West Side one-bedroom I left behind.

  2. 11217 – are you comparing co-op maintenance with condo maintenance? co-op maintenance typically includes pro rata share of interest payments on building’s underlying mortgage (+/- 50% of monthly charge), there is no underlying mortgage on condo buildings.
