Condo of the Day: 409 3rd Street
Third Street in Park Slope, with its width and grand houses, is certainly an impressive stretch. That doesn’t mean, however, that an attractive, but far from spectacular, floor-through apartment will be able to fetch $1,000 a foot. The second-floor apartment at 409 3rd Street, which is asking $1,199,000, has some nice prewar charm, to be…
Third Street in Park Slope, with its width and grand houses, is certainly an impressive stretch. That doesn’t mean, however, that an attractive, but far from spectacular, floor-through apartment will be able to fetch $1,000 a foot. The second-floor apartment at 409 3rd Street, which is asking $1,199,000, has some nice prewar charm, to be sure, but the bathroom and kitchen are definitely a little tired and the layout feels like a cluttered maze of little rooms to us. The broker’s use of gross square footage to hype the place rubs us the wrong way as well. (He states a gross square footage of 1,337; PropertyShark uses the figure of 1,098. After all, you can’t sleep in the common hallway!) We think they’ll be lucky to get $1,050,000.

yes, dark is usually an adjective i use to describe poorly made also.
Dark hallways, creeky floors…brownstones are often poorly made crap too.
A nice, good-sized place for a family with midget children. Those 7-foot-wide bedrooms are too small.
40K was the price I paid for everything, 3:47.
And it looks fantastic.
A person who works scouting film sets asked me if I’d be willing to let them use it for a shoot, in fact.
So go have fun overspending.
40k for kitchen and bath. then you still need architect, permits, second bath, reconfiguration (walls, floors, elec). You could do it for 80-90k. (but then I wouldnt put a 40k kitchen and bath in a million dollar apartment)
I personally love the look of this apartment.
A nice, good-sized place for a family of 3 plus dog.
You won’t find a much prettier location.
Agree with 3:37 – it doesn’t take anywhere near that to renovate – even nicely – unless you are trying hard to spend a lot of money.
And this apartment is fine as it is, for many people.
It’s official, 3:38.
I love you.
One of the best responses ever.
Sure, the average person probably prefers something quite new, but then, I’ve never considered myself average.
