The light-filled, open-plan living room/dining room/kitchen is the point of a pre-war Flatiron-style elevator building. With soaring 12.5 ceilings and windows on three sides, the room offers sweeping views of Brooklyns iconic brownstones and the Manhattan skyline.

This building has not had enough comparable sales of its own in the period to support a median, so the benchmark is drawn from Prospect Heights instead. ### How these sales were negotiated - **Sale-to-list price**: 102.8% (7 sales) - **Sold below asking**: 29% (7 sales) - **Typical time to find a buyer**: 61 days (8 sales) - **Typical time to close**: 91 days (8 sales) Based on co-op three-bedroom sales in Prospect Heights with the required listing and closing data. Sample sizes vary by metric. 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. Sales data through January 2026. 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.
