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.

if there are so many better options at this price (and in this location, since location is usually at the top of everyone’s list) why don’t you find us a few, 8:32?
of course you can find more for a million bucks.
but not on 3rd street in park slope. this is about what these apartments go for, give or take.
i say it goes very close to asking.
ps. 321 certainly plays a factor in this pricetag as well, btw.
I don’t like this apartment at this price.
Rule of thumb: for over one million dollars, you should expect 2 bathrooms anywhere in Brooklyn. I also do not think that rooms that are 6’10” wide should be thought of as bedrooms. They are kennels.
This unit could be improved by removing partitions, adding a powder room, and improving the kitchen. That would add about $200,000 to the cost.
A family who could afford this has better options. I would stronlgy encourage them to look at those options.
I think it is worth $800,000.
Saving a little on maintenance is not worth it if the apartment is sub par.
nope, i’m not actually, 7:40. just came across the link on curbed and thought i’d pass it along. i’m not a broker, a seller, don’t work for urbandigs, none of it.
just someone passing on some info i read.
never seen urbandigs before in my life.
7:30 = urbandigs.com “publisher”

11×7 bedroom? what is this, a lower east side walk up?
a good way to look at these lots is to go to http://maps.live.com/
and type in the address. Use the “aerial” and “birds’ eye” views and zoom in. You can change the angle and see just how big the lots and extensions are. Sometimes it marks the wrong house on the block, so just be aware of that. But it’s a great way to see the lots from above and get pretty close up.
3rd street is 6 blocks to the train.
i don’t think that’s far.
certainly not by nyc standards.
6:03–3rd Street and even some 2nd Street houses tend to have very small yards because the lot is taken up by the house.
