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.

  1. I wonder what the advantages are of renting a space for a dr. office as opposed to ‘regular’ tenants. assuming they’re not doctors themselves and they rent it to someone else. there’s a lot of traffic during the day but if you work I suppose you really wouldn’t mind especially if the trade-off is complete silence at night since no one is there. I wonder if they get more for rent and if the eviction process is the same (if it comes to that of course). although I’d assume that it would be far less likely that a person renting a space for a doctor’s office won’t pay their rent since they have a lot to lose if they’re evicted, namely a place to house their practice.

  2. I’m missing where it is ‘advertised’ as 80′ deep.
    Also missing how ‘ top two floors are not very deep’. Looks almost 50′ to me which is certainly deeper than standard.
    House is large, spacious, great orig. detail and facing the park , plus roof deck with probably expansive views.
    If I only I had the money.

  3. I agree with 12:31, if someone can spend 4 million dollars on a house, why would they want a doctor’s office on the ground floor?
    I think that here and elsewhere in Brooklyn, the old reality has not caught up with the new reality of four million dollar houses.
    The prices are just bonkers.
    And you will get a parkling ticket just like everybody else if you don’t come out at 7 AM to move the car.

  4. i have to be honest, i think it’s overpriced. essentially you are paying for 3 floors of living and the top two floors are not very deep. there are four bedrooms (though one is set up as a study), and the ground floor is a medical office, which will costs a pretty penny to renovate and restore to match the rest of the house.

    are there many single family buyers w/ the money to pay $4mm who want to have a doctor’s office on the ground floor (unless it’s a doctor who’s buying it who needs place for his office…a very small target audience).

    just my $.02.

  5. at least this place (unlike many) actually looks to be “worth” 4 million bucks.

    this is a gem and given that some of the great townhouses in brooklyn heights have gone for 6 million or so, i think this seems pretty fair for its great location and architecture.
