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 thought that third street was so wide that it allowed for all that front stoopage along with the standard 55-60 foot back yard. Am I wrong?
Two problems with Third Street:
First, it is the furthest street from all the trains in Park Slope.
Second, because the houses are set so far back from the curb you get less house and back garden for more front garden which is really kind of wasted space.
It’s a stunningly beautiful street to walk on, but there are a lot of other streets in the Slope I’d choose to live on.
Now the Times has the most updated info:

looks like suicide.
He was found in Mary-Kate Olsen’s apartment. Were they romantically linked? This is so sad.
Guess the Ledger story put an end to the real estate ranting, at least for the moment.
