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.

I’ve redone my kitchen and bath at a cost of around 40k for both.
And neither are necessary upon moving into this apartment, it looks to me.
If you spent 150 on a kitchen and bath reno, you got RIPPED OFFFFFFF!!!
3:26 is right – I could maybe get interested in new if it wasn’t crap.
I’m not sure what you’re problem is 3:27 but if are you are reconfiguring an apartment, completely renovating a kitchen and bath and adding a bath, yeah, you’re looking at around 150k
“This place needs 150k worth or work.”
So just a tad more than you could stand to spend on your face?
The new construction that is NICE, and built with quality is stuff like 15 Central Park West or Richard Meier’s buildings, which cost FAR more than brownstone apts.
Sadly though, most of the new stuff in this price range is CRAP.
And for someone looking in Park Slope, there is very little new construction at all. So your choice is either the POS building along 4th or older housing stock.
I think it’s safe to say that the majority of Brownstoner readers prefer the latter.
This place needs 150k worth or work. NEXT!
“the average person would gladly prefer something good looking, nice, spacious, clean, with up to date cabinets and appliances, and with a washer/dryer and central air.”
you mean like the novo? or crest?
LOLOLOLOL.
YOU ARE AN IDIOT!
3:11, I’m not 3:10, but are you taking that square footage at face value? because that would be dumb.
Since this is a condo that had to file at some point, I think the property shark figure of under 1100 is right. It’s about 200 sq ft bigger if you don’t include the outdoor space on the little place.
to make the hilarious statement that every old building like this POS provides quality while all new construction doesn’t means that you are deluded.
this is junk… icky icky ugly ugly
you guys are buying into your own brownstoner hype!
get real!
the average person would gladly prefer something good looking, nice, spacious, clean, with up to date cabinets and appliances, and with a washer/dryer and central air.
this place is lousy. it is not a nice living environment.
and, the price is hysterically high. brownstoner please let us know what this sells for. please!
