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.

Biff:
For quiet authority, it’s probably this one, with 2 Montague Terrace, 161(?) Hicks at the corner of Montague Street, and the coperative at the intersection of Henry and Pierrepont rounding out the Heights’ “top” addresses.
Back in the day, buildings like them almost never advertised, but were traded word-of-mouth and by “gentlemen’s agreement” — in other words WASP only. Because I’ve lost touch with the Brooklyn scene, I don’t know if they’re quite so exclusionary now. (Though looking at that interior, maybe things haven’t changed!)
But personally I prefer the Rosario Candella and Emery Roth numbers on Grand Army Plaza and Prospect Park West. You can’t beat them for location.
But on strictly architectural terms, there’s Montrose Morris’ Imperial Apartments on Grant Square, proving that occasionally there’s justice. This building, which I truly believe rivals the Dakota in beauty, has been renovated as “affordable” apartments.
I’d live in any of them, including the Imperial, but I could only take what may parents left behind (and my siblings didn’t want!).
The loos are small for today’s tastes.
NOP, I’m curious to know based on your extensive knowledge and experience what would you consider the “trophy” residential building in Brooklyn, if you had to pick one?

Yes, it’s nice. And handy to the Casino.
As for the interiors, Brownstoners must be of a younger generation not to “see” them.
My parents filled their places in the exact same way.
Very North Shore (Long Island) of a certain era.
And I’m still struggling to clear out all their stuff from the family apartment. How do you parse through 60 years accumulation?
As we used to say in Brooklyn: Oy Vey!
Mr. B., put up a widget.
Denton, 2 Montague Terr is another absolute gem for sure, although I suspect for those who are most concerned about the impression the address of their home has on others, they would pick this one.
I’d guess the seller was there for thirty years and got all the furniture at Thomisville or somesuch. Is this a guess? I guess $4,900.000.
I agree rob. Except for the carpets, this place is quite poorly furnished & decorated. Maybe its because they have a number of young kids.
