A converted Cobble Hill townhouse snagged the priciest contract signed in Brooklyn last week.
The 3,400-square-foot home at 59 Cheever Place, asking $6.9 million, was one of 22 properties in Brooklyn asking $2 million or more to find buyers between May 12 and May 18, according to Compass’ weekly report. The total was on par with the previous period, which also saw 22 inked deals.
The property last traded two years ago for $3.1 million, before it was renovated into a four-story, single-family home with a finished basement. It hit the market in April, initially asking $7.3 million.
The townhouse has five bedrooms, five bathrooms and a finished basement. It also features a backyard with a mother-in-law suite and gas fireplace in the living room,
Compass’ Julia Silver Gordon, Ivy Kramp and Jenna Amicucci-DeChristopher had the listing.
Cobble Hill townhouses are regular fixtures atop weekly contract reports in the borough, though prices in the neighborhood have yet to outpace neighboring Brooklyn Heights. In March, townhouses in the area stole the top two spots in Compass’ report, nabbing inked deals with asking prices at $8.5 million and $5 million, respectively.
The second most expensive home to land a buyer was 417 Sixth Street, with an asking price of $4.9 million. The Park Slope townhouse spans 3,700 square feet and has six bedrooms and three bathrooms.
The two-family home, which was renovated in 2022, is configured as a triplex with a one-bedroom, garden-level apartment. It features a backyard with a deck and an unfinished cellar.
The property, which hit the market in April, last sold for $3.9 million in 2021.
Compass’ Jessica Fields, Brad Bateman and Bella Caplis had the listing.
Of the 22 homes, six were condos, four were co-ops and 12 were houses.
The homes’ combined asking price was $68 million, which works out to an average price of $3.1 million and a median of $2.9 million. The typical home spent more than 50 days on the market and was not discounted from the original listing price.
