House of the Day: 491 3rd Street

At least we know where I. M. Pei stands on the recessed-lighting issue! At some point, the famed architect designed the upper duplex of this four-story brick house at 491 3rd Street in Park Slope. (The lower two floors are floor-through apartments.) The design is nice enough, but other than the archway, there aren’t a lot of strong statements going on as far as we can tell. According to the listing, the two lower floor-through apartments have retained their historic details and will be delivered vacant. Given the location, the asking price of $2,795,000 probably isn’t too far off the market. The first open house is on Sunday from 12:30 to 2 p.m.

You know what they say…
If you can make it in New York, you can make it anywhere.
Seems 4:18/3:23 simply can’t make it.
Don’t feel bad for him though. He gave it a few decades, but his small IQ just won out in the end.
Help yourself to SF or Seattle and maybe the rest of us will get to enjoy Brooklyn that much more.
if you live in brownstone brooklyn and don’t have a good quality of life, that’s because your life sucks. don’t blame it on brooklyn.
I’ve encountered quite a few people lately from these “lovely, green, well-tended cities of Europe” who have either visited or bought property in Park Slope. Most have said they think Park Slope is more beautiful. And a bargain.
You belong in house in the burbs in New Jersey, 4:18, doing your part to ruin the planet.
BTW, this house in the nicer parts of London would cost 7-10 million US dollars.
You sound like a miserable old fellow.
Ignorant too…
London has its pitted parts too. But the nicer areas are to die for. So many lovely, green, well-tended cities in Europe. Unfortunately none of our American cities come close except perhaps San Francisco and Seattle.
Brooklyn is an acquired taste. Life is hard here and the locals are, well, they’re Brooklynites. I feel that my relatives in other cities have a nicer quality of life than I do. An easier time of it. No subways.
No roaches, no rats, no urine by the doorway as you leave your house in the morning. The little things like that.
This is the same house that was on the market last spring, but I don’t remember the price then, not that it matters. Not the most exciting house on the market right now, but not the worst either.
That was me above.

Brownstoner, you’ve got to stop with the comments about people’s design choices. When you were renovating your own place you stopped posting pictures when people started questioning your own design choices. The houses you post here have not asked for this. They have not created blogs about their houses. They are simply trying to sell. If you couldn’t take it when it happened to you on your own blog, what gives you the right to slam their choices. Go back to being neutral before it’s too late.
