Former WWE Exec Finds Buyer for Prospect Heights Home

9 minutes read

A former WWE executive’s Prospect Heights townhouse came in from the top rope to claim the priciest contract signed in Brooklyn last week.

The home at 105 St. Marks Avenue was one of 28 contracts signed last week for Brooklyn homes asking at least $2 million, according to Compass’ weekly contracts report. The total is a dip from the 32 contracts signed in the previous period, which also notched an average of 46 days on the market, the lowest so far this year.

Kristina Salen, who served as the chief financial officer of WWE for a year and a half beginning in 2020, bought the home with her husband, Daniel Bernstein, for $3.1 million in 2013, according to public records.

Last asking $5.9 million, the restored 1873 Italianate brownstone spans 4,000 square feet with five bedrooms and three bathrooms. The home has a rear garden with a patio, lawn, and mature planting beds.

The third-floor primary suite has a full-width bedroom and two bedrooms that have been repurposed as an office and a walk-in closet.

In addition to working at WWE, Salen has held CFO positions at companies including Etsy and Greenhouse, and currently sits on the board of directors of SiriusXM, according to her LinkedIn.

Brown Harris Stevens’ Lee Solomon had the listing.

The second most expensive contract signed last week was for a Brooklyn Heights carriage house asking $5.8 million.

Spanning over 2,600 square feet across two floors, the home at 28 College Place has been “largely untouched by modern renovation,” with original details including “timeworn” hardwood floors, cast-iron radiators and historic hay doors, transoms and shutters, according to StreetEasy.

The top floor has three bedrooms, along with kitchen and dining areas, while the bottom floor remains unused.

The home last sold for $2.6 million, according to public records.

Compass’ Jack Elliot Heard, Heema Khedr and Scotty Brand had the listing.

Last week’s signed contracts were for 13 condos, three co-ops and 12 single-family homes, and for a total contract volume of $86 million. The previous week saw 32 contracts signed for $97 million.

Homes entering contract last week had a median asking price of $2.7 million, spent an average of 95 days on the market and had an average price per square foot of $1,481.
