House of the Day: 19 Montgomery Place

Size does matter. It’s not everyday you see a 30-foot-wide single-family house hit the market, as this one at 19 Montgomery Place just did. Given the prime Park Slope location and architectural pedigree (designed by C.P. H. Gilbert), the price tag on this one ain’t small: $4,750,000. The listing notes one of the nice perks of the house’s dimensions: the rooms are all more square than rectangular (except for the formal dining room which is octagonal). Interestingly, it looks like the current owner’s tastes skew toward the modern. Anyway, it’s been a while since a house in The Slope fetched this much dough. How do you like its chances?
