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.

so assuming 11th street house is in VG to excellent condition… how much lower is $655 sq ft percent-wise from
‘peak’ for south slope(nice block)?
Can we get a fact check on some of these places?
Too many errors…
Assuming Henry St is a mistake and it did get 4mm, it’s a good example of why I’d make a lousy real estate agent. I’d never price things high enough!
If Henry Street sold for $2.2MM that is the steal of the year. I cannot imagine it.
A friend of mine says that’s her apt at OPP & says:
they got their square footage wrong it’s 3,199 sq ft. We should be signing this week. I don’t care about the publicity- I just want to get in there already!
160 Henry Street
In Streeteasy (I know it’s not always correct) the PH is listed as sold on 9/21/09 for 4 million.
Even at 3100 sf, 2.5 million for a condo in Prospect Heights is very impressive to me. Tell someone who’s lived in the neighborhood for 30 years that little fact and they’d probably keel over laughing…
And isn’t the Brooklyn Heights price officially “half off”? BHO – where are you?
The Park Slope house sold for the correct amount. It was obscenely overpriced at 2.25 million, but this number sounds more in line. Another example of how one can not necessarily look at discounts to asking price when there are some sellers (or brokers) who were so out of touch with the market. But 1.57 million is still a good price for a house on 11th Street…
