Set on a sun-soaked corner lot offering the rarity of three exposures, this landmarked townhome was taken down to the studs before being expertly reimagined, pairing historic character with all-new systems and bespoke, high-end finishes throughout. The 20 foot wide home boasts 4,420 square feet above grade, plus an additional 1,100-square-foot finished basement, with a total of 8 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms. Configured as a two-bedroom garden apartment beneath a 6-bedroom owner's triplex, 123 Willoughby provides flexibility as a single-family mansion, an owner's residence with rental income, or a multi-generational home. The landmarked façade has been fully restored with a brand new brownstone front, repointed brickwork, all new windows, custom cornices, a custom front door, and a rebuilt stoop. The sun-filled parlor level is grand in scale, with 10-foot ceilings, 9-foot windows, ornate crown moldings, and a vintage marble fireplace. An open layout connects the living and dining spaces to a chef's kitchen designed for both everyday living and entertaining, with a custom-built bay-window banquette with integrated storage creating an additional seating area. Bespoke cabinetry, Calacatta Viola countertops, and a 10 foot Calacatta Viola island anchor the kitchen, which is outfitted with a top-of-the-line, designer appliance package, including a 48-inch La Cornue range and hood, Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, a second wall oven, built-in espresso maker, beverage refrigerator, and an integrated marble bar sink. Just beyond the kitchen, a cedar deck extends the living space outdoors and overlooks the private backyard below. Nine-inch European white oak floors and custom oak staircases and railings run throughout the home, connecting generously proportioned rooms. The primary suite, thoughtfully set at the back of the house for privacy, spans the full width of the house and is filled with natural light from two exposures. A custom walk-in closet complements the spa-inspired, windowed bathroom, appointed with a sculptural live-edge travertine vanity, a mineral stone soaking tub, a dual-head MrSteam shower, and Schluter heated floors—a feature carried throughout every bathroom in the home. The fourth floor includes a secondary living room, ideal as a media room or playroom, along with two additional bedrooms and a laundry room. The finished lower level adds valuable flexible space, complete with a handcrafted natural redwood wine cellar and lounge. Every major building system has been fully replaced, including new plumbing and electrical, two gas-fired hot water heaters, and a three-zone HVAC system serving the owner's residence, with dedicated mini-split systems for the garden apartment. 123 Willoughby Avenue is set on a quiet, brownstone-lined residential street closed to through traffic and delivers a rare combination of landmarked character and ground-up modern craftsmanship. Fort Greene Park is a short walk away and the home is centrally located near a number of premier grocery stores like Whole Foods and Trader Joes, as well as various subway lines, including the G at Clinton-Washington and A/C at Lafayette Avenue. ## Property Details - **Property Type**: Multi Family - **Beds**: 8 - **Total Baths**: 5 - **Rooms**: 13 - **Sqft**: 5,520 sqft - **Stories**: 4 - **Year Built**: 1930 - **Price per Sqft**: $1,358 - **Monthly Taxes**: $1,621 / mo - **Listed On**: Jul 14, 2026 - **Days on Market**: 61 Days ### Residence Features - Central Air - Central - Laundry Room - See Remarks - Private Outdoor Space Over 60 Sqft - Wet Bar - Crown Molding - High Ceilings - Kitchen Island - Soaking Tub - Bar - Walk-In Closet(s) - Double Oven - Dishwasher - Full - Bay Window(s) ## Sales Evidence ### Recent closed sales 123 Willoughby Avenue has 2 recorded sales since September 2021, the most recent for $1,400,000 in September 2025. Prices are the figures recorded with the City, not asking prices. | Unit | Beds | Sq Ft | Sold Price | $/ft² | Sold | Source | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 4B (Duplex) | 1 | 1,178 | $1,400,000 | $1,188/ft² | September 11, 2025 | City record · MLS | | Entire property (Multi Family) | 9 | 4,200 | $2,300,000 | $548/ft² | January 17, 2025 | MLS | Every row is a recorded transaction, including ancillary spaces such as storage and staff rooms where they were sold separately. Those are excluded from the benchmark below. ### 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 $7,495,000, $4,295,000 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.

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 3019030059. 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.
