Park Slope Townhouse Sells For Record-Breaking $10.8M, But There Are Still Pricier Ones For Sale

The single-family home at 45 Montgomery Place recently sold for a whopping $10,775,000, making it the most expensive sale ever in the neighborhood.

The seven-bedroom, five-bathroom (plus two half baths) space had been nicely renovated, with a lush chef’s kitchen featuring three dishwashers, several hand-painted murals, leaded glass skylights, original gas fireplaces, and even a working elevator. Pretty, pretty swanky.

Still, the home was on the market quite a while, with a price that decreased substantially. Curbed notes it was listed back in September 2013 at $14 million, only to drop the price the following month by $2 million.

And yet, this was not the most expensive home on the market! There are still three places that could nab the Biggest Sale Ever title away from 45 Montgomery soon.

• The Montessori Mansion at 105 8th Avenue remains on the market, currently listed at $13 million, which is down from its original price of $25 million when it came on the market in November 2012.

• The former home of novelists Jonathan Safran Foer and Nicole Krauss, a 6-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom limestone at 646 2nd Street, was originally listed for $14.5 million last November, but is still on the market at the decreased price of $13 million.

• Finally, the 1899 home by architect Montrose W. Morris at 17 Prospect Park West just returned to the market last month, with a list price of $14 million. You might remember this as the former home of actors Jennifer Connelly and Paul Bettany, who sold it to a Google engineer in 2008.
