A Special Home With a Special Story

196 Maple St is one of those homes that reminds you why people fall in love with Brooklyn. This historic limestone townhouse sits on a quiet tree lined street in Prospect Lefferts Gardens surrounded by pre war architecture and neighbors who know each other by name.

Inside the home is filled with original woodwork pressed tin ceilings and the kind of craftsmanship you simply do not find today. Our sellers spent years preserving its character and our goal was to honor that history while helping them move on to their next chapter.

How We Achieved One Hundred Twenty Thousand Above Asking

From the beginning we knew this would attract buyers looking for something authentic. Not a typical renovation but a true landmark home.

Our strategy focused on:
• professional photography that highlights original details
• a strong narrative around the home’s architecture
• targeted digital marketing to NYC townhouse buyers
• private viewings for qualified parties
• hands on negotiation to maximize offers

The result was a powerful response with multiple offers and a final price one hundred twenty thousand above asking in a competitive market.

A Proud Moment for Our Sellers

Helping a seller close above asking on a historic property is always meaningful but with this home it felt personal.
We are proud to have represented a piece of the architectural history of Prospect Lefferts Gardens and grateful that our sellers trusted us with such an important milestone.
