House of the Day: 112 Prospect Park West
Yowza! Check out today’s eye candy on Prospect Park West, a two-family center-stair mansion in full period get-up. As the pics show, someone’s gone to great lengths to preserve the original details and to recreate the original interior design.

Yowza! Check out today’s eye candy on Prospect Park West, a two-family center-stair mansion in full period get-up. As the pics show, someone’s gone to great lengths to preserve the original details and to recreate the original interior design. According to Property Shark, this house hasn’t changed hands in the last four decades, implying this is really a lifetime’s labor of love. This is one of those listings that is useless to try to put a dollar value on. At $3,975,000, it’s expensive enough to be well out of the reach of mere mortals. The question is only will someone very wealthy fall in love.

i agree…i walked around this weekend and saw many “in contract” or “sold” signs on many of the real estate windows…a few of which were 3 mil plus townhouses on good prime streets in park slope.
i actually think this one is priced pretty agressively.
in my mind, some of the ps blocks with great townhouses are some of the most coveted in the city. they should be anyway.
If I had 4 million to spend on real estate in Brooklyn, I’d buy the Pfizer mansion at 280 Washington. http://www.corcoran.com/property/listing.aspx?Region=NYC&ListingID=760180
I see quite Pk Slope houses over the $3m mark. Even in contract. And even between 6th/7th Avenue. And, yes, some of them are not even single family.
So even those with big bucks do buy these houses with a rental (what they do with the rental who knows).
Question is how much premium for being on Prospect Pk.
And yes this house has backyard, with pond if you checked out the listing.
if it sounds good to you, why are you reading about brownstone living in brooklyn?
just curious since to have such an affection for park avenue would not be something most of us brooklynites would be looking for or aspiring to…
just my guess
Sounds good to me.
You think this house is low maintenance?
you get 3000sq ft with very high taxes and maintnance for $4 mill on park ave, not a house.
Well I think four million dollars is a lot of money for a row house in Brooklyn. I don’t think they will get it. The interiors are nice, but not that grand really. And the new owner would need to deal with a dumpy old doctors office on the garden level.
Park Slope is nice but its not Park Avenue. You can get nice digs on Park Avenue for four million.
i think the place is ugly, it looks like a museum, but some people love that stuff. i do agree about the doc’s office, if you can affford $4 million you don’t need the income. but there are very few houses on PPW so it’ll sell, if you can afford this place you can probably afford to renovate the garden floor. speaking of which, does this place have a garden? that to me is the greatest part of a townhouse. Also everyone on this site acts like $4 mill is some crazy high number that very few can afford. this is NYC, there are many thounsands of multi millionairs, as well as hundreds, if not thousands of listings for $4 mill plus. they trade every day, some new condos in manhattan don’t even have apartments that start at 4 million. yes brooklyn only has 10 or so $4 mill plus transactions a year, but how often do houses on PPW come on the market?
if you’d like i’m more than happy to present your “20-30” comments. if by 20 or 30 in the last month, yes, i’ll agree.
and most are rather snide.
and yes, i do think people were being bitchy about why anyone would want to spend 4 million to have a doctors office. this is an amazing house. gorgeous details, great location. if someone wants it, they’ll figure out what will happen with the office. don’t think it’s going to detract from prospective buyers is my point.
i’ve also noted that you didn’t respond to the question posed about the depth of the building.
and how were my 2 comments not pleasant to EVERYONE?
