House of the Day: $7.5 Million in the Slope!
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…
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?

It’s “You’re” not “your” and “frenetic” not “phonetic”. Sorry to be a nerd, on a blog typos are understandable, slang is fine, but come on people, you’re old English teachers would role in their graves. 😉
YOUR WRONG… THEY PAID ABOUT $2.5 mil!!! LESS THAN FOUR YEARS AGO IN MAY OF 2002
There is absolutely no kitchen and we understand it is dated… really dated… smaller than small…. Yes, understand that they paid approx. 3mil. less than 3 years ago…
The Safran House sold for $5.75 mil. and it was on a triple lot…. The lot is probably worth 1.5 mil… making the Safran house without the lot worth approx. $4.25 mil. at a more phonetic time in the market..
They paid approx. $3mil. for it three years ago.. worth between $4.5 and $5mil… relocating the kitchen is a must….
Look for this to sit a long time.. $7.5 in the City buys you a lot these days…
I have no opinion about price but wow, what a dreamy place. Wish I could get a tour.
Funny that it has such a small kitchen–but I guess when you’re that rich you don’t do the cooking yourself!
.. and parking. That lot was worth $2mm min.
I think I CAN debate the price. It’s too high. That ship has sailed.
The address is 45 Montgomery Pl. It was built in 1899. Montgomery Pl. is one of the most coveted addresses in Brooklyn.
In this price range sellers need to be patient b/c a 7.5 million price can only be afforded by a small group of people.
The Foer house on 2nd St. did come with an additional 40×100 lot on 3rd St, another coveted address.
You are confusing this house, and its neighbor
with one on Berkely Place. This house is on Montgomery.
I do remember that the owner of the house to the left sold his air rights to a developer, enabling the large, tall condo building behind it on Union Street to be built. (The house in this BBH listing is directly behind that Union St. building.) This forever sealed the owner’s fate as a pariah of the neighborhood. He placed his house (which from the exterior appears to be quite large and grand) on the market for around $2 million, which was unheard of at the time. It was on the market forever, not sure if it finally sold or was taken off the market. The house still looks as though it is unoccupied.
