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.

How do you all compare this house versus the really spendy one in FG that has been much debated…
http://www.ahrlty.com/H181L/H181L.html
– Both “older” style but FG house looks slightly better
– Think FG house is much bigger (5-storey)
– PS house has A/C
– PPW is an expressway; Washington Park is pretty quiet
A $400K price differential seems tough to swallow given that in PS you’re still going to have to tip in a lot of money getting the old-lady style out and reclaiming Dr 90210’s office
anon @ 1:48…in all the time I’ve been reading this site I’ve made no more than 20-30 comments…so I don’t know what you are talking about…but I see you don’t dispute the fact that noone is bitching and your comment was out of line.
but anon, you seem so pleasant to everyone, i wonder why do you even bother commenting…does it make you feel better?
A new term of art, new to me anyway,
a “grandma palace”.
I’m afraid the poster has a good point.
But if you spend this much dough for a house, you will have your design consultant redo the place from top to bottom. Out with Queen Victoria in with Casino Royale.
The new owners will most likely seldom be home. Folks with that sort of money like variety.
hey what bubble? not really interested in listening to someone say grow from a guy who comes on here and constantly makes comments about things as if you are the lord, savior of real estate.
i personally don’t think that only doctors would look at this space, and think it rather absurd to even suggest so.
love the will cost a pretty penny comment. like you’d know…
it ain’t butt ugly at all
after consideration, I’ve decided no buy will keep it a doctor’s office unless the buy happens to be a doctor with a private practice (small chance).
folks with that kind of dough would make it part of the house, though doing so would not be easy as the real estate agent claims.
you’d have to gutt renovate it. i’m not sure what she means by easy unless you want to sleep on an examening board and spend your free time reading in the doctor’s waiting room.
This place is butt ugly. Yuck! Grandma palace! ergh
anon @ 1:32…noone is bitching…just pointing things out and what some deterrents to purchasing might be. i invite you to read what people are writing and not take the slighest “bad” comment as “bitching”…grow up.
i don’t understand the bitchy comments made here about having a doctors office in your first floor space. seems like an ideal tenant to provide some extra cashflow should you need or want it.
do you people just make stuff up to bitch about?
A plastic surgeon on prospect park west?
I thought they were only allowed in the Upper East Side. What next? Sotheby’s opening their Park Slope shop?
