## Property Overview

Exquisitely renovated and remarkably proportioned, with 22' width and 50' depth, on a rare 140' lot — 59 Lefferts Place is a complete owner-led re-imagination of a historic Clinton Hill property. With architectural design by BAOO and garden by Brook Landscape, the home features a rare grade of natural materials and equal artistry and functionality; privately presented, the glimpses offered here are an invitation to a scale and specificity most beautifully experienced in person.

A unique motif of arches — across lofted doorways, barrel-raised ceilings and skylights, a wall of doors that draws the garden into the parlor floor, and the curvature of the limewashed fireplace anchoring the luminous parlor — reflects both historic Brooklyn and biophilic design. Original doors, mantelpieces, stairs and railings are matched with reconstructed medallions; designer fixtures from Alexandre Biaggi, Louis Jobst, Allied Maker, among others; and a palette of honed and polished stone, zellige tile, and brass hardware perfectly harmonizing the subtle vibrancy of a paint schema that draws from that same rich vein of natural materials.

The home's exceptional artistry creates an immediate impression; its functionality reveals itself more quietly, across five floors of thoughtful integrations and surprising touches — from the fully-equipped, high end gym in the semi-finished basement; to the integrated projector system in the garden floor family room; to the jewelbox of a parlor-floor powder room and wet bar; the kitchen with its suite of Thermador, Miele, Bosch, and SubZero appliances and dutch doors to quiet visual noise; multi-zoned all-electric heating and cooling; and an impressive but unobtrusive amount of utility space, cleverly concealed with flush-to-wall doors and mortised brass pulls. A remarkable primary suite with twin walk-in closets, a skylit library, and a luminous hammam-like bath spans the top floor.

Experienced as a single-family residence, the garden level provides an additional king-size bedroom and elegant family room with integrated projector system, custom-clad kitchen, and wood-burning fireplace, lit by and leading into the green tranquility of the garden; all that’s required to convert the property into an impeccable two-family home — both its legal designation and built use — is the locking of two doors.

The splendid garden — 1600sf of lush planting, patio, pathways, and separate areas to dine and relax — is anchored by fruiting serviceberry and fig trees, vining tomatoes, lavender bushes, and a cold plunge for hot summer nights.

Materials, mood, function, and proportion : all exquisite. Most fixtures convey. Some furnishings available for separate purchase. In the heart of Clinton Hill, on a leafy block a short walk from local favorites like Otway Bakery, Sisters, Locanda, Coffeeland and Smor, with easy proximity to Prospect Park, Fort Greene Park, and the arts nexus of BAM and Barclays Center. Valet parking garage with EV charging, one block away. Showing by appointment only.

## Sales Evidence

### Recent closed sales

59 Lefferts Place has one recorded sale since September 2021, the most recent for $3,575,000 in December 2021. Prices are the figures recorded with the City, not asking prices.

| Unit | Beds | Sq Ft | Sold Price | $/ft² | Sold | Source |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Entire property (Single Family Residence) | 7 | 3,960 | $3,575,000 | $903/ft² | December 17, 2021 | MLS |

### How this price compares

The median closed price for comparable house sales in Clinton Hill is $3,200,000, based on 11 sales between January 2022 and July 2026. This home is asking $6,750,000, $3,550,000 above that median. The middle half of those sales closed between $2,470,000 and $3,925,000.

- **Median closed price**: $3,200,000
- **Middle half**: $2,470,000 – $3,925,000
- **Based on**: 11 house sales in Clinton Hill
- **Period**: January 2022 – July 2026
- **Median $/ft²**: $1,105/ft²

Across the 10 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 96.5% of what it originally asked. 70% 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 Clinton Hill. Apartment sales are excluded from it entirely.

### How these sales were negotiated

- **Sold vs original ask**: 96.5% of the original ask
- **Closed below ask**: 70% of 10 sales
- **Listed → in contract**: 156 days (about 22 weeks)
- **In contract → closed**: 65 days (about 9 weeks)

Across the 10 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 96.5% of what it originally asked. 70% of them closed below the original ask.

Half of these homes were in contract within 156 days (about 22 weeks) of coming to market, based on the 10 with a recorded listing date.

Once a deal was agreed, closing took a further 65 days (about 9 weeks), based on the 10 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 11 house sales in Clinton Hill, January 2022 – July 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.

The City has not published the official FY2026/27 and FY2025/26 tax rates yet. We calculated the tax for those years using the prior year’s rate, so treat them as an estimate rather than a figure the City has adopted. Every rate without the Estimated marker is the published one.

Tax Assessment is the assessed value on the City’s roll, and it is the figure other listing sites publish. It is not what the bill is calculated on. New York phases assessment changes in gradually for some tax classes, so the City bills the Billable Value shown beside it, less any exemption the owner holds. It usually trails the assessment, and it can sit above it for a few years after an assessment falls.

Figures are the New York City Department of Finance assessment roll for tax lot 3020150089. Assessed and billable values are determined by the City for tax purposes and are not an appraisal or an estimate of market value. Tax classes and rates are set annually and can change.
