Flatbush

In 2022, 6sqft covered this impossibly grand free-standing mansion at 1305 Albemarle Road in Prospect Park South, listed for a whopping $12,950,000. The historic neighborhood had already attracted plenty of buzz when actress Michelle Williams purchased a house down the street. But this landmarked manse, also listed on the National Register of Historic Places, raised the bar for drama, with 22 rooms and more than 11,000 square feet, including a huge ballroom. It was purchased for $3 million in 2016, snapped up after only three days on the market. An inside-and-out renovation clearly spared no expense; the ballroom was enhanced to include a suite of luxury bedrooms, a vintage bar, and an entertainment space. But a $13 million ask may be too rich even for a Brooklyn estate the size of a small city; the Flatbush jewel has been relisted at $12,495,000. Still stunning–and still for sale–for $455,000 less.
