House of the Day: 631 3rd Street
While we’re not so sure it’s actually “the finest townhouse in Park Slope,” as the listing boasts, there’s no arguing with the fact that 631 3rd Street is one sweet pad. The 4.150-square-foot limestone mansion has recently been renovated in a tasteful and environmentally-friendly manner. The seller’s looking to get $4,195,000-it’ll be interesting to see…

While we’re not so sure it’s actually “the finest townhouse in Park Slope,” as the listing boasts, there’s no arguing with the fact that 631 3rd Street is one sweet pad. The 4.150-square-foot limestone mansion has recently been renovated in a tasteful and environmentally-friendly manner. The seller’s looking to get $4,195,000-it’ll be interesting to see whether the 4-handle proves to be a psychological barrier to buyers. By comparison, 536 1st Street, the closest comp, closed for $3,600,000 in February; though slightly, that house definitely is less of a show-stopper. (Townsley & Gay recently sold another 1st Street mansion that had been listed for a while at $3,295,000.) So waddya think? Can they clear $4 mil on this?

No master bath. You’re nuts.
You tards oozing over the thought of seeing Safran-Foer next door need to get a F*#%ing life. Did you ride to school on a short bus?
I saw the house at the tour & I agree with 4:16- neither the realtor’s nor Paul Cha’s websites do the rear kitchen addition justice- the light and openess is amazing. The architect also did a great job preserving the original house mouldings & woodworking details, even with the central AC addition in the walls & ceilings. But then again for 4 million……….
4 PICS What are they selling a 500sq ft studio. This place looks really nice but the realtor has to do a better job.
Interesting mixture of Modern deatailing & Classical sensibilities. Paul Cha Architect’s website actually shows Park Avenue projects as well- rare to see an architect doing both Modern & Classical. Lets see if the owner get what they asked for.
There shouldn’t be quite so many compromises at the $4m price point.
I’m not a broker, just a neighborhood resident who saw this on the house tour last year and was quite impressed. It’s true I probably shouldn’t have mentioned the name of the somewhat-famous writers who live nearby, but I did so only because their double-lot garden is quite well known in the area, and my point was that you see a lot of open space from the corner kitchen windows. I’d prefer to have a larger garden, too, but there are compromises with every property. All in all, I personally think this is a great house, and I wish the owners the best of luck in selling it.
hahaaha, 1:45, idiot.
If you can’t separate your bodily functions in the ensuite from your bedroom, you really need better aim.
