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.

  1. people–as above poster clarified, there are many, many editors at Martha Stewart and somehow they all live in the Slope. Actually, almost all magazine editors for these useless “lifestyle” mags live there. What a racket.

  2. Sorry, 4:17.

    The Editor of Martha Stewart Living already lives in Park Slope.

    And I’m a gay interior designer and already have a lovely home not far from here.

    You mean there are others???

    Next thing you’re going to tell me that Anderson Cooper is GAY!!

  3. wrong 4:09–I don’t know where you get your information from. There have been 156 inquiries and 28 offers for this apartment, all since this posting, and we are currently in the midst of a bidding war. It is total pandemonium. The price is already up to $1.975 million and it can only go up. The highest bidders at the moment are an editor for Martha Stewart Living magazine who has twins, and a gay interior designer. They’re ferocious and determined.
