Brooklyn’s luxury market last week finally bounced back from a sluggish start to the year.
The borough saw 21 contracts signed from Feb. 6 to Feb. 12, according to Compass’s weekly report on homes asking $2 million or more. The total, up from the nine deals inked in the previous week, marks the largest number of contracts signed since before the winter holidays.
Homes in Brooklyn Heights topped the borough’s luxury contracts, with a townhouse and condo notching the two priciest deals. Of the total contracts signed, 14 were for townhouses and seven were for condos.
The most expensive home to enter contract was 33 Garden Place in Brooklyn Heights, which asked $9.8 million. The townhouse is the first deal to crack the $5 million asking price mark in the past four weeks.
The five-story home, built in 2005, spans 5,500 square feet and has six bedrooms and three bathrooms. It features a landscaped garden, chef’s kitchen and climate-controlled wine storage.
The townhouse also includes 10-foot ceilings, a floor-to-ceiling window wall and multiple gas fireplaces with original marble mantles.
Corcoran’s Leslie Marshall had the listing.
The second most expensive home to enter contract was Unit 3H at 9 College Place in Brooklyn Heights with an asking price of $3.9 million. The 1,905-square-foot condo, originally built in 1905 and converted in 2012, has three bedrooms and three full bathrooms.
