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.

Sure, if you enjoy standing on the crowded F train every damn morning on the way to work. 😉
PS: LOVE that Conselyea house!
more4less – i actually like Cobble Hill the best out of all the “brownstone” hoods, but it’s all relative to what you want. i’ve lived there and really liked it, but after living really close to the city in WB, it’s a factor that in my mind would trump anything else. for younger people, the night life thing is way better in north brooklyn, plus it’s a quick trip to the LES, chelsea art galleries and the east village. for me now, with a family, i like the family scene here which is laid back and friendly but still involved.
11217 – i’m speaking to investors. there are only a handful of investors in our condo building, but they are doing WELL. some of the renters have now been there for a few years, but the good news is, that when people move, they can rent the apt out within the week. if you don’t want to invest, don’t, but there are people out there who do, and I’m saying it’s a good bet in WB. it’s not a really deep statement because it’s sorta obvious, but i’m trying to actually help people reading this board, which to me, goes beyond the regular posters.
obviously, the one thing we all seem to be able to agree on is
the rent is too damn high
that conselyea house is kicking. for a mod look, it’s nice!!!!!!!!!!
The facade of that blue house is incredibly ugly IMO–a shame because the interior seems well done, if you like that sort of thing.

DH, and $/psf is higher in a studio vs bigger units.
“And p.s. yes, Williamsburg rocked it out this week on the Biggest sales list, but take note of the psf prices. Skillman Avenue sold for $520 psf, less than average at the NOVO ($650 psf)”
i thought $/psf is almost always lower in houses than in condos?
