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 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.)

  1. Brownstoner:

    I remember this house from the 1950’s.

    What’s labeled “bedroom” on the second floor should actually be the “parlor” or living room, with the ground floor given over to the “entry hall” (with stairs)and dining room.

    Houses like these often had two floors of “public rooms” — that’s what made them grand.

    Nostalgic on Park Avenue

    it’s because the ONE area of the market that is flourishing in nyc (besides studios) are the extremely high end properties.

    i’m guessing the broker is trying to latch onto the fact that the most expensive of properties continue to do well, even in this softening market.

  3. If Park Slope is soft (which it very well might be) that only means that every other neighborhood in Brooklyn is softer.

    With perhaps the exception of Brooklyn Heights.

    Too many jealous people on this thread who wish they would have bought last time Park Slope was “soft”
