House of the Day: 535 1st Street Revisited
After Corcoran failed to move it back in 2006 first at $3,500,000 and then at $3,100,000, the limestone mansion at 535 1st Street in Park Slope has just come back on the market for another try with Douglas Elliman. The asking price? $3,675,000. The princely pad is 4,420 square feet large, but we’re not sure…

The asking price? $3,675,000. The princely pad is 4,420 square feet large, but we’re not sure why something that failed to sell 18 months ago would now sell for 20% higher in this market. A the very least, it wouldn’t hurt to have some interior photos to look at. (There is one on the old HOTD link below.)

House of the Day: 535 1st Street [Brownstoner]
2:02, try telling that to the LPC. Not that this place is landmarked, but according to LPC there were never any white windows in Brooklyn, even on Limestones. White windows will lead to unhappiness and a swift kick in the bumm!!
Take this house across the river to the Upper East Side and we’re talking 15 million.
GORGEOUS old house and location.
I agree that I’d much rather blow my $3+ million on this limestone near the park than on the 3-story brick shack on 3rd Place. No comparison.
I actually do think it’s a relative bargain, given all other comps I’ve seen listed in Brownstone Brooklyn.
Seriously.
2 million and change for Clinton Hill crap. Nearly 3 million for Caroll Gardens house half this size, 2 million for Prospect Heights and a million for some Bed Stuy stuff…
Yeah, this seems like a fine price. Now whether there are the buyers right now, that is another story altogether.
Difference is, this place requires a lot or work.
Ewww, it has a white cornice. Who would want to live in a place with a white cornice.
White windows are historically accurate for limestones!
I have a photo postcard of our very same limestone block in Lefferts Manor from the turn of the century right after they were built, and all the windows are WHITE. Not black or anything dark.
Someone is incredibly defensive. Do yourself a favor and refrain from commenting any further, lest you do yourself a great disservice by alienating potential buyers.
2:00…
Why is that? Because you think one of the most architecturally significant homes in Park Slope, right next to the park should be 200K so it fits into your budget??
