A luxurious townhouse in Brooklyn Heights has hit the market for $26 million, aiming to become the most expensive home ever sold in the borough. If it sells at the listed price, it will break the current record set in 2021, when a five-storey brownstone at 8 Montague Terrace fetched $25 million.
This new six-storey property at 295 Hicks Street is a modern marvel, blending historical charm with cutting-edge luxury. Standing on land valued at $4 million in 2021, the home spans 12,000 square feet, offering eight and nine bathrooms. It features a private elevator, a stunning floating staircase, and a rooftop skylight that fills the home with natural light.
The townhouse offers top-tier amenities, including a landscaped roof deck, a private garden, and a rooftop pool that doubles as a Jacuzzi. The property has a snow-melt system for colder months to maintain pristine outdoor spaces. Inside, the design is equally impressive, with 9-inch white oak flooring, triple-pane windows, and radiant-heated floors.
Additionally, the lower level boasts a glass-walled gym, sauna, steam room, and Zen garden, while the sub-cellar includes a 2,800-bottle wine room and an underground garage with EV chargers. The chef's kitchen features custom oak cabinetry, marble countertops, and high-end Gaggenau appliances.
Moreover, the second floor is dedicated entirely to a grand primary suite with dual walk-in closets and a spa-like bathroom. The top floors provide additional luxurious living and entertaining spaces, including a private terrace with sweeping views of Manhattan. With its unique combination of modern luxury and historic charm, this townhouse is a rare gem, offering exclusivity rarely seen in Brooklyn real estate.
