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.

Those houses on Berkeley were mentioned on another thread a couple weeks ago. It’s not hidden information.
“3 townhouses went up for sale on berkeley place 2 weeks ago…they weren’t listed, but were being sold by the deceased owners wife and daughter and heard today all three have already received offers.”
And you know this HOW exactly, oh mighty sockpuppet?
Worst photos ever, too. Might be the most cluttered home I’ve ever seen in a RE listing. I would be really turned off if I showed up at this place seriously interested in buying it, and were confronted by clutter like this that shows people can’t even be bothered to pack a few things in boxes. It would make me wonder how regularly this apartment was actually cleaned over the years. Like there’d be nasty crud under the fridge and in the corners.
If there are plenty 2BR brownstone coops in prime Park Slope for $600,000 to $700,000 why is one extra bedroom worth a whole $500,000 more? That’s literally what that 3rd bedroom costs, $500K, if this coop is priced at $1.2 million. I do think some public-school-obsessed parents will buy it, but I just don’t understand that math. Crazy mathematics.
Park Slope is getting soft…like a warm down comforter.
I would much prefer 3rd Street over that BH place.
Much better school and half the maintenance. The maint. never goes down. I’d never even look at a place with maint. costs that high.
The ps. 321 factor right there is worth the extra money to me.
In terms of neighborhood, it’s a personal preference, of course but I don’t like highrise, doorman buildings.
I do like a community with a great park, great school and great restaurants and shops, however.
i think brooklyn is just overpriced to you, 10:06.
i see plenty of people buying homes in brooklyn.
even now.

people are still buying multi-million dollar homes in brooklyn.
just because they are above your budget, does not make them overpriced.
Great point with the Brooklyn Heights comp.
10:06, that is one of the best comments I’ve ever read on Brownstoner. Thank you.
