Cobble Hill Townhouse Tops Brooklyn’s Luxury Contracts

A townhouse in Cobble Hill nabbed the priciest deal signed in Brooklyn last week. And it wasn’t close.

The home, at 469 Henry Street, was asking $11 million, easily the most expensive of the 20 in Brooklyn asking $2 million or more for which contracts were signed between March 27 and April 2, according to Compass.

The fully renovated townhouse, built in 1915, spans 5,100 square feet and has six bedrooms and four bathrooms. The 22-foot-wide, four-story home also includes 2,000 square feet of outdoor space and three wood-burning fireplaces.

Brown Harris Stevens’ Joan Goldberg had the listing.

Home prices in Cobble Hill soared during the pandemic with some townhouses scoring top-dollar deals, though contracts in the neighborhood rarely reach eight figures.

Earlier this month, an unknown buyer purchased a townhouse at 128 Pacific Street for $12 million in an off-market deal. The former owners — Athena Calderone, the founder of lifestyle brand EyeSwoon, and her husband, music producer and deejay Victor Calderone — fully renovated the historic home, built in 1900, and sold it for $8 million more than their purchase price.

The second most expensive Brooklyn home to go into contract last week was 300 Prospect Place in Prospect Heights, with an asking price of $5.3 million. The 4,000-square-foot townhouse, built in 1910, has four bedrooms and three bathrooms across four floors.

It also features a garden, outdoor terrace, balcony and chef’s kitchen. Brown Harris Stevens’ Jennifer Cooke had the listing.

Of the luxury contracts signed last week, 11 were for condos and 9 were for townhouses. The average asking price was $3.4 million and the average price per square foot was $1,671. The average time on the market was 153 days with no discount from the original listing.
