1. WILLIAMSBURG $1,575,000
74A Conselyea Street GMAP
74a Conselyea Street got some attention for its heavy-duty reno, even its own WSJ profile! This townhouse was a “hell hole” before it was bought for $800,000, gutted and redone, becoming an owner’s triplex with two more rental units. The cellar holds a laundry room and recording studio, there’s a glass sun room and a private garden, red-cherry wood floors and African mahogany cabinets. (Check out this slideshow.) And what do ya think of that facade, which Curbed called “One of Williamsburg’s funkiest?” The listing went up in August for $1.695 million. Now that it sold, it comes just second to most expensive townhouse sales in Williamsburg, right after 180 Bedford. Entered into contract on 9/30/10; closed on 11/4/10; deed recorded on 11/16/2010.

2. DUMBO $1,500,000
204 Front Street GMAP
We’re scratching our heads looking at this old listing for 204 Front Street. On one hand, it is 3,000 square feet, with eight bedrooms and five bathrooms in a nice spot in Dumbo. But the pictures that came up when this house was first listed for $1,800,000 aren’t bowling us over. Either way, the home took a price cut but still nabbed a good sum. Entered into contract on 8/11/10; closed on 10/29/2010; deed recorded on 11/16/10.

3. WILLIAMSBURG $1,300,000
68 Skillman Avenue GMAP
68 Skillman Avenue was our HOTD this June. We were impressed by the shiny floors but thought it lacked either old charm or a sexy modern reno. The two-story, 2,500-square-foot house had just undergone a full makeover, though, and was asking $1,495,000. Average Reader Appraisal was $1,152,595. Entered into contract on 8/18/2010; closed on 11/5/2010; deed recorded on 11/19/10.

4. WILLIAMSBURG $1,392,456.88
2 Northside Piers, #3X GMAP
StreetEasy isn’t listing this particular condo at Two Northside Piers. Entered into contract on 6/6/2010; closed on 11/5/2010; deed recorded on 11/16/10.

5. BROOKLYN HEIGHTS $1,190,000
360 Furman Street, #428 GMAP
One Brooklyn Bridge Park has been owning the biggest sales lists. Streeteasy divulges this is a 1,523-square-foot two-bedroom two-bathroom that hung out on the market for 247 days. It was priced at $1.7 million, then $1,615,000.
Entered into contract on 7/22/2010; closed on 10/21/10; deed recorded on 11/17/10.

  1. “You’re paying 1.5 million to live in a workingman’s cottage by the BQE?”

    no, they’re paying 1.5 million to live in an awesome looking house

    who cares what they were originally intended for?

  2. Expensive and asthma are both correct. I’d add a few brownfields down on Meeker to that assessment.

    Williamsburg’s great, but for that money, god, move somewhere blue chip. Or move to a mansion. You’re paying 1.5 million to live in a workingman’s cottage by the BQE? I also have this feeling that all of the nice young couples who bought and renovated are all now selling because they lost their jobs or can’t take the school overcrowding. I could totally be wrong, however.
