After little more than a month on the market, Carroll Gardens’ “priciest townhouse” has entered contract. According to Curbed, 356 Sackett Street sold for close to asking price, which was $4,099,000.

Although Curbed alludes to comments in its original post about the property that deemed it “massively overpriced,” “not worth $4 million” and “out of touch with the reality of the neighborhood,” apparently those readers were way off the mark. Brownstoner adds its take here. See more pics and floorplan back at Curbed here.

Curbed brought to our attention a listing with Brown Harris Stevens for a furnished carriage house in Brooklyn Heights at 21 Grace Court Alley. It offers three bedrooms, 1.5 baths and six rooms total, with parking, central air conditioning, skylights, fireplace, washer/dryer and three outdoor areas. BHS says: “This is very special. Beautifully appointed and lavishly furnished. This is a wonderful home with a spectacular eat in kitchen, dining room and beautiful living space. Built for elegant living, entertaining and privacy. Flexible lease.”

The price tag: $11,500 a month. That, mind you, adds up to $138,000 a year. Curbed adds, “Grace Court Alley is one of those lovely, teensy Brooklyn Heights streets where carriage houses tend to go quickly, which makes the $11,500/month asking rent here seem slightly less ridiculous.” (See more pictures below the jump)
