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.)

3:56 – Thanks.
Seriously 3:41, because one listing is gross overpriced doesn’t mean another less expensive but still grossly overpriced property is a deal.
Nice try, though.
3:47pm: oh, i see what you did there!
3:56–I got the address from Streeteasy. Just do a search for sales in Cobble Hill since that’s what they’re classifying it as.
3:41 – where did get the address? I was wondering if 329 was the one that Corcoran just llsted but thought probably not since the four story ones comped at around 1.6-1.7 a year ago. I thought the owner bought it for his daughter to live in. Can’t wait to hear the gossip on the block about that price.
I wonder what 304 is asking – that is also for sale.
Maybe Corcoran knows something we don’t know. And it is a great block – the Daily News did a feature on its residents over the summer.
I gotta mix up some Kool aid.
While it is sometimes interesting to see listings – it is much more useful and probative to see SALES
That actually is the most beautiful block in Carroll Gardens in my opinion. The houses are gorgeous. Still seems overpriced though.
HOLY MOLY!! I am going to be sick to my stomach. Corcoran just listed 329 President Street, a 16′ footer that is only 2 1/2 stories, at $3.6 million! THESE RIDICULOUS LISTINGS (which I have to think are FAKE!) are what make a limestone like this, on one of the best blocks in Brooklyn, a fucking deal! A steal even! Can you imagine asking the same amount as this mansion for a short and skinny piece of crap on President & Hoyt???? I need a shot of tequila. Or four.
Guess this house isn’t as overpriced as the 16 footer in Caroll Gardens from yesterday.
The comments seem so tame today.
