As covered earlier, the trade of this 8,206-square-foot one-family is the biggest sale in Brooklyn this year—at least so far. Entered into contract on 9/16/09; closed on 9/16/09; deed recorded on 9/25/09.
2. BROOKLYN HEIGHTS $2,200,000$4,000,000
160 Henry Street, PH GMAP (right)
When this 3,000-square-foot penthouse was a Co-op of the Day in March, it was listed for $4.25 million. Closed on 9/21/09; deed recorded on 9/25/09.
3. BROOKLYN HEIGHTS $3,150,000
1 Pierrepont Street, #8A GMAP
Sure, $3 million+ is a pretty penny, but the sale price for this sprawling co-op seems low given the prestige of the building and its asking price. (We’ve got a call into Brown Harris, which brokered the sale, to find out whether there was behind-the-scenes action not reflected in the public records sale price, and we’ll update this if they get back to us.) The 10-room co-op’s been on the market since last year, and the initial ask was $6,250,000, which was later reduced to $5,500,000. The reader widget guess on it clocked in at $4,764,268. Closed on 9/21/09; deed recorded on 9/24/09.
4. PROSPECT HEIGHTS $2,545,625
On Prospect Park, Unit 4F GMAP
This is a 1,090-sf unit in the Meier-designed condo, according to StreetEasy. Entered into contract on 8/13/09; closed on 8/27/09; deed recorded on 9/24/09.
5. PARK SLOPE $1,570,662
520 11th Street GMAP
This South Slope townhouse was originally listed for $2.25 million last year; after not selling, it was taken off the market and re-listed for $1,640,000 this May. Entered into contract on 7/7/09; closed on 8/27/09; deed recorded on 9/23/09.

Oh, too bad, BrooklynGreene.
M4L, I might be going to the Crown Heights tour around the same time as you Sat.
Denton, I didn’t used the word prime. to face 4th ave vs. facing the park and be right next to 5th ave restaurants is a huge diff. just like that one brooklyn condo – units facing the water is worlds apart from the ones facing the bqe and it’s the same bldg. in both cases, huge difference
Thanks so much Mopar, Arkady and Gran Darmy. I have a feeling I won’t be able to make it to Union Hall on the 15th but definitely will try to do the Prospect Heights House Tour on the 18th.
Thanks!
“the crap on 4th ave is terrible location. benson’s bldg is a much better location so heck yeah it makes the 4th ave crap’s pricing super overpriced.”
I wouldn’t call benson’s crib a ‘much better location’, it’s a hop skip and a jump away from 4th. Note that I’m not calling it a bad location, just a similar one.
benson himself notes that some wouldn’t call it ‘prime ps’.
Having said that, benson’s crib is much better looking than the later stuff built directly on 4th.
When I moved into the same area, on the other side of the park, in 1995, it was definitely not considered prime ps. Some folx wouldn’t consider living below 6th ave, even that was a stretch. The old money PS types felt that the Slope ended at 7th, and ‘prime ps’ was from 7th to PPW.
I think what is now ‘prime’ is much more arguable. With 5th Ave now being what’s happening, and 7th being rather fossilized and boring, it could be argued that anything around 5th is ‘prime’ to younger people especially who want to hang out at night. Being close to the park or course is ‘prime’ in its own but different way.
Hi Brooklyn Greene,
I believe tix for the Prospect Heights House Tour are already on sale at The Forest Floor, 659 Vanderbilt Ave. Tour is 12 noon to 5pm on 10/18.
There are some great homes on the tour: brownstones (traditional, modern, and in between), apartments (pre-war and new condos), and a 100ft deep artist’s studio with living quarters upstairs.
Always a very friendly, laid-back vibe to this tour. And all the money goes to community programs so it’s an important fund-raider for the neighborhood.
Hope to see you there!
Oops, the meetup is cancelled. See recent post in Forum. Unless — it’s from the fake Cobble!?? (I didn’t check.)
BklynGrn – Union Hall at 6:30 on the 15th.
BrooklynGreene, there was a post about it in the Forum. I’m sure they’ll post again. It’s Oct. 15. I too would prefer a quiet place — the one in Fort Greene with the garden was perfect — but it’s too late for that.
Great info, Benson and Minard, about how prices are doing in prime areas.
Also one of the New York Times stories I read in the last week (they are all blurring together) said SALE prices in Park Slope are down about 9 percent on average. (I think they were talking about for the year.)
So that’s all pretty consistent.
