A renovated 1901 townhouse in Park Slope and a newly built home in Williamsburg led Brooklyn’s luxury real estate market last week, according to Compass’ weekly report. From September 15 to September 21, there were 19 signed contracts for homes asking at least $2 million, totaling $54 million in asking volume. This matches the number of contracts from the previous week but represents a slight decrease from last year’s figures for the same period.
The highest-priced contract was for a historic townhouse at 448 Sixth Street in Park Slope, listed at $6.5 million. Tech entrepreneur Mark Jung purchased the property in 2023 for $4.9 million and carried out extensive renovations on the approximately 3,500-square-foot residence.
The five-bedroom home includes 1,200 square feet of outdoor space with landscaped back and rooftop gardens. The parlor level features an antique marble mantelpiece sourced from the Plaza Hotel at the front and sliding glass doors leading to a balcony that overlooks a double-height solarium facing the south garden. The fourth-floor primary suite is equipped with a gas fireplace, bay reading nook, walk-through closet, and an updated bathroom with double vanity sinks and a rain shower. Roberta Golubock of Sotheby’s International Realty handled this listing.
The second most expensive contract was for a new townhouse at 196 Withers Street in Williamsburg, listed at $3.75 million. The property spans 2,850 square feet with four bedrooms and three full bathrooms. It features a hand-crafted red-brick facade and oversized casement windows framed in black steel. The primary suite offers a dressing room and bathroom with walk-in shower, separate toilet room, and double sink; there is also a finished roof deck atop the building. Deborah Rieders, Sarah Shuken, and Angelina Celeste Martinez of Corcoran represented this listing.
Across all luxury homes entering contract last week in Brooklyn, the average price per square foot was $1,578 while the median asking price stood at $2.5 million.
