A Brooklyn Heights townhouse quietly hit the market in early February for a staggering $26 million — setting its sights on becoming the priciest home ever sold in the borough, The Post has learned.
If the six-story stunner at 295 Hicks St. sells at asking, it will shatter Brooklyn’s current residential sale record, which was set in 2021 when a five-story brownstone at 8 Montague Terrace traded hands for $25 million.
Unlike its record-holding predecessor, this townhouse is brand-spanking-new.
The land it stands on alone fetched $4 million in 2021, and the home has since been meticulously constructed to blend historic charm with state-of-the-art luxury.
Spanning an impressive 27.5 feet in width, this residence boasts eight bedrooms, nine bathrooms and every amenity imaginable.
A private elevator whisks residents through the home’s lavish levels, while a floating circular staircase — capped by a rooftop skylight — floods the space with natural light.
The property’s outdoor features include a landscaped roof deck, a private garden, a fourth-floor terrace and a rooftop pool that doubles as a Jacuzzi.
And for those who dread winter’s wrath, the townhouse, new completely this year, comes equipped with a snow-melt system to keep outdoor spaces pristine.
Aran Scott and Anthony Robles of Douglas Elliman hold the listing.
“The neighborhood kind of has already been achieving some pretty big numbers,” Scott told The Post, citing 8 Montague Terrace and another townhouse at 1 Sidney Place that closed in July for $22.1 million.
“You have to compare it to … what are these houses trading for in the West Village? Quite a bit more. So you’re getting a very similar vibe with regards to aesthetics, except I think some like to argue preference that the neighborhood is prettier and more family-oriented.”
Scott also said there’s rarity that comes with building new townhomes from the ground up, adding “there’s a very limited supply.”
Occupying nearly 12,000 square feet, Scott references the private garage to accommodate up to five cars, the snowmelt system and the pool situated on the roof as “unicorns.”
“It’s like one of one basically,” he said.
Inside, there’s 9-inch white oak flooring, European tilt-and-turn windows with triple-pane glass, radiant-heated floors and fully integrated home automation.
The lower level features a glass-walled gym, a sauna, a steam room, a meditation space and a Zen garden, while the sub-cellar houses a massive 2,800-plus-bottle wine room and a private underground garage with two EV chargers.
The grand dining room, overlooking the garden, flows seamlessly into the chef’s kitchen, and features custom oak cabinetry, marble countertops and high-end Gaggenau appliances.
Meanwhile, the second floor is dedicated entirely to a palatial primary suite, complete with dual walk-in closets, a spa-like bathroom and a private sitting room.
Higher up, the third floor offers four oversized bedrooms and a central lounge area, while the fourth floor is designed for entertaining — complete with a full wet bar, an event space and a private terrace with Manhattan views.
“It’s slowly getting to the point where there will be a $30 million range in Brooklyn,” Scott said.
