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.

“Had something to do with their pale skin.”
Which in case you haven’t heard is also back in fashion.
And unless we come up with a cure for skin cancer sometime soon, probably will stay that way for a little while longer.
The people who are complaining are the ones who can’t afford diddly, 4:01.
Trust me…those of us who own in Park Slope are well aware of prices, and think these beautiful old homes are more than a “pile” as you say.
I consider it my home and one that I never plan to leave.
This apartment is worth as much as it is because there are alot of you people (the readers of brownstoner) who like this kind of pile and are willing and able to pay through the nose to get it.
You can’t love brownstones on 3rd Street and then complain that they cost so much. Thank yourself.
Agreed it is overpriced. But it is still a nice apartment – the market will determine the correct price, if the seller is actually interested in selling.
The apartment has received 7 calls to set up showings since Brownstoner put up the listing.
Dark as in poor light, poorly designed. Evidently Victorians didn’t care much for well-lite spaces. Had something to do with their pale skin.
3:55. We’ll see, won’t we.
Whatever the cost of rennovating, for this price you shouldn’t have to do ANY work. But that kitchen is awful and there is only one tiny bathroom – NO WAY this is good for a family of three people (with or without Fido). More importantly, NO WAY this is worth a 15-20% markup on the rest of Park Slope, no matter how nice of a block this is. Keep dreaming Corcoran.
“creeky floors”
i prefer my floors creeky than buckling up like those in most new construction i’ve seen.
