Brooklyn Real Estate Six Months Later: One Sold, Two in Contract, One Still Available

As temperatures begin to rise, we’re back to look at four of our featured listings from six months ago. This week, we’re focusing on homes in Windsor Terrace, Brooklyn Heights, Clinton Hill and Crown Heights. How did they fare?

First up, with a private terrace, dining nook and several closets, this Brooklyn Heights apartment is a bit more spacious than one might expect for a one-bedroom co-op in an early 19th century house. Located on the second floor, it has in-unit laundry and a wood-burning fireplace. No photo of the bathroom is included in the listing, but it is accessible via the bedroom and the hall. A niche in the bathroom holds a washer/dryer and there’s another closet in the hallway. The apartment is one of just three units in the wood-frame building. Maintenance is $1,752 a month. A former Co-op of the Day, it’s still available for the initial asking price of $875,000.

Next up, in Crown Heights, we have one in a row of Renaissance Revival-style houses designed by prolific Brooklyn architect Axel Hedman. This single-family is teeming with original woodwork, from fretwork to an impressive stair with built-in bench. The house is also on a block that’s part of 20th century urban design history; it had a redesign by I.M Pei. as part of the 1960s Superblocks program. This one hasn’t been on the market in decades and, while the original features appear to be in fine shape, the listing suggests a new owner might want to do some updating. This former House of the Day entered contract in December 2020.

Next up, a block from Prospect Park in Windsor Terrace, this early 20th century yellow brick single-family has an impressive amount of original detail that appears to be in fine condition. It includes an eye-catching porch with white columns and a varnished beadboard ceiling. The living room has neo-Colonial touches with its decorative fireplace, stair with curving banister, beamed ceiling and wood floors. Pocket doors lead to a dining room, and beyond is a large kitchen, deck and pocket-sized backyard. Upstairs is a stained glass skylight and three bedrooms with original details. The kitchen and two full bathrooms appear to be in good condition although not recently renovated. This former Open House Pick sold in February for $2.1 million, which was $250,000 below the initial asking price.

Last up, in the Clinton Hill Historic District, this classic Italianate brownstone has marble mantels, arched niches and plasterwork that define the style alongside some recent renovations designed with a sympathetic eye to the original features. It’s set up as a two-family, with a one-bedroom apartment on the garden level and a triplex above, and hasn’t been on the market since the 1980s. The parlor level is filled with original details, starting at the entrance with original newel post and stair. The landscaped garden has brick pathways meandering around beds thickly planted with perennials and a koi pond with a bluestone paver acting as a bridge. There’s a petite garden next to the front stoop as well and it has what the listing claims is the only working gas lamp on the street. This former House of the Day entered contract in February.
