With four bedrooms, four-and-a-half baths, and a private garden, this home offers an abundance of space for both everyday living and entertaining. The garden level features a spacious den that opens directly onto the garden, while the parlor level offers gracious living and formal dining rooms with original stained glass and millwork. The top two floors include four bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom, a generous primary dressing room, and an additional office/study. The top two floors were completely renovated with structural reinforcement, new flooring, wider hallways, and new plumbing and electrical, while the original decorative and architectural details were carefully preserved. Modern updates include radiant heat in the bathrooms, streamlined radiators, a new split HVAC system on every floor, and new recessed lighting on the parlor floor. A large storage and utility area on the garden level provides valuable additional space. The roof has been updated, and the house is wired for Wi-Fi and a new thermostat on every floor, bringing modern comfort and convenience to this historic home. Located on one of Park Slope’s most special blocks, Polhemus Place has an active block association and a wonderful sense of community, with summer Open Streets programming. Lovingly updated while retaining its original soul, this thoughtfully reimagined townhouse is the kind of home that is increasingly hard to find — a special place with the character of old Brooklyn and modern features for ease and comfort. ## Property Details - **Property Type**: Single Family Residence - **Beds**: 4 - **Total Baths**: 5 - **Rooms**: 9 - **Sqft**: 3,830 sqft - **Stories**: 3 - **Year Built**: 1899 - **Price per Sqft**: $1,567 - **Monthly Taxes**: $1,383 / mo - **Listed On**: Aug 25, 2026 - **Days on Market**: 22 Days ### Residence Features - Baseboard - Central - In Unit - See Remarks - Private Entrance - Private Outdoor Space Over 60 Sqft - Built-in Features - Crown Molding - Double Vanity - High Ceilings - Soaking Tub - Hardwood - Bay Window(s) ## Sales Evidence ### How this price compares The median closed price for comparable house sales in Park Slope is $3,400,000, based on 56 sales between October 2021 and August 2026. This home is asking $6,000,000, $2,600,000 above that median. The middle half of those sales closed between $2,576,250 and $3,942,500. - **Median closed price**: $3,400,000 - **Middle half**: $2,576,250 – $3,942,500 - **Based on**: 56 house sales in Park Slope - **Period**: October 2021 – August 2026 - **Median $/ft²**: $1,100/ft² Across the 42 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 95.9% of what it originally asked. 60% of them closed below the original ask. A house is not part of a building of comparable apartments, so this benchmark is drawn from house sales across Park Slope. Apartment sales are excluded from it entirely. ### How these sales were negotiated - **Sold vs original ask**: 95.9% of the original ask - **Closed below ask**: 60% of 42 sales - **Listed → in contract**: 47 days (about 7 weeks) - **In contract → closed**: 73 days (about 10 weeks) Across the 42 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 95.9% of what it originally asked. 60% of them closed below the original ask. Half of these homes were in contract within 47 days (about 7 weeks) of coming to market, based on the 55 with a recorded listing date. Once a deal was agreed, closing took a further 73 days (about 10 weeks), based on the 54 with both dates recorded. These are two separate periods measured on different clocks — time to find a buyer, and time from agreed deal to closing. They are medians of different sets of sales and do not add together into a single "days on market" figure. Based on 56 house sales in Park Slope, October 2021 – August 2026. Each figure counts only the sales that recorded the dates it needs, which is why the denominators differ. Sale prices are the consideration recorded with the City in ACRIS, and each sale is dated by the day the City recorded it. A closing date reported to the MLS typically falls one to two weeks earlier. Recorded sales describe what has already happened and are not an appraisal, a valuation, or an estimate of what this home will sell for.
