One Pierrepont Mansion in the Sky Goes Into Contract
It took a while, but the seller’s patience ultimately was rewarded as the 10-room co-op at One Pierrepont Street, the premier apartment building in Brooklyn, finally went into contract yesterday. The four-bedroom pad first hit the market last November with an asking price of $6,250,000, before the price was reduced to $5,500,000 in December. That…

The four-bedroom pad first hit the market last November with an asking price of $6,250,000, before the price was reduced to $5,500,000 in December. That was the most recent ask so of course we’re dying to know what the contract price was. Come on, you know you want to tell us! Update: We added a pricing widget below so we’ll see how good the collective wisdom is.

This place reminds me of the types of places St. Anne’s house-parties were held when I would go with a friend to visit his wealthy former classmates. As a working-class kid who grew up in BK in the 80’s early 90’s this was how “the other half” lived. Def. very North Shore actually as well, furniture does reminds me of places I visited in Manhasset as a child.
Holy smoke, this is one old-school luxury building. (It’s totally by the book. It’s got the wing of entertaining rooms, the wing of servant/kitchen/butler pantry/pantry, the wing of bedrooms each with their own bath.)
I LOVE the decor. This is also totally old-school, 1960s, haute WASP cultured whatever. Yes, it has not been updated since the 1960s. I also like that. Rob and Dave, you are responding to the fact that it is out of date by your lights. If you look carefully, you will see the furniture is very nice. Good quality antiques, but not showy.
Well, Biff, occasionally Brownstoner needs to hear from the “old heads.”
There was another one over here that I said would get ask. Where was it? This one doesn’t compare.

Thanks Kens. I’m learning to play better in the online sandbox. 😉
NOP, thank you for your response. I always love hearing your thoughts.
11217, I have to say, I like the “new” you. Keep at it :o).
M4L will be so disappointed. You made his lunches very entertaining.
Oh and p.s. They are not “friends” of mine. At all. Just met them because they are on the board of an arts organization in the city. Just so you don’t think I’m bragging about my friends. 😉
I know someone who lives in this building. They have a full floor. This is one of 5 homes they own and they are a rather young couple with 2 kids…maybe early 40’s. The wife is a knock out. I saw their pad once and it was pretty freakin’ incredible.
