Brooklyn Heights' 69 Willow Street Brings in the Big Bucks
A few weeks ago the $6 million sale of 74 Hicks Street hit public records, and now another Brooklyn Heights house is joining it in the ranks of the priciest properties to sell in the borough this year.

A few weeks ago the $6 million sale of 74 Hicks Street hit public records, and now another Brooklyn Heights house is joining it in the ranks of the priciest properties to sell in the borough this year. The five-story townhouse at 69 Willow Street sold for $5.25 million, according to a deed filed last week. While the 5,800-square-foot house, which has a doctor’s office on the ground floor, fetched an impressive amount, it was half a million less than the property was asking. StreetEasy’s records don’t appear to show that the $5.75 million listing price was reduced after it was put on the market a year ago.

Many of the folks who buy these kinds of properties in Brooklyn Heights are a bit mysterious. They are nice enough but they are not community-oriented. They send their kids to schools in Manhattan and they are aloof. It is possibly their desire to remain apart that they pick the Heights rather than places like Greenwich, where their business associates live and where they probably would be forced to be more sociable. Just a theory.
It’s no secret that the top 0.1% are doing just fine, thank you. That’s who is buying this house.
Weekly “averages” and more mid-range properties tell a different story, thoug, like Open House of The Day 6 Months Later. Even then, though, the NYC market is distorted by foreign investment, for now (again, the top 0.1%). I think BHO will be right, the question is only when.

I’m sure some lucky architect will get the juicy commission of modernizing and customizing the house for the new family.

Nice house. Greek revival with later doors, cornice and mansard.
