After a month of record-breaking sales, a Brooklyn Heights townhouse hit the market asking $18.25 million.
The asking price on the 8,250-square-foot home pencils out to $2,212 per square foot. As a comparison, a mansion a couple of blocks away that’s about 3,000 square feet larger recently sold for over $25 million.
The six-bedroom home at 212 Columbia Heights listed last week. It appears to be owned by financier Mark Werner and his wife Dawn, according to property records. The couple bought the home in 2012 for $11 million. At the time, it was the priciest sale recorded in the borough since 2003, according to the Brooklyn Eagle.

The dismal results underscored the need to accelerate vaccine rollout in the U.S. and reopen large swaths of the economy that were restricted or closed by the virus, experts said.
Retail and restaurant sales in December 2020 dropped by 0.7% compared to the prior month, following a revised 1.4% decline in November 2020. The forecast by economists polled by Econoday called for a 0.1% decrease in December sales.
