"Williamsburg Townhouse Asking $10M Seals Deal with Top Brooklyn Contract"
"Despite a slow holiday week, a Williamsburg townhouse and a Cobble Hill townhouse set records with the top two contracts in Brooklyn."
Amidst the hustle and bustle of holiday festivities, the top two contracts in Brooklyn were secured by two iconic townhouses - one in Williamsburg and one in Cobble Hill. The Williamsburg property, located at 101 South Second Street and 276 Berry Street, made headlines with its record-seeking asking price of $10 million. And it seems that this townhouse has finally found its match, as it has now scored the top contract in Brooklyn.
The Cobble Hill townhouse, on the other hand, is making waves for its unique selling point - it was owned by one half of a famous rap duo. The property boasts a spacious layout and a charming backyard, which undoubtedly contributed to its success in the market.
While the Williamsburg townhouse may have set a new record for the neighborhood, it's not the only high-profile property in the area. According to sources, the buyer of this townhouse is also the owner of the penthouse at the nearby Wythe Hotel. This raises questions about potential conflicts of interest and influence games at play in the Brooklyn real estate market.
Despite these speculations, the sale of the Williamsburg townhouse is set to close in early 2026, solidifying its place as the top contract in Brooklyn for the year. As for the Cobble Hill townhouse, it remains to be seen who the lucky buyer will be.
