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…

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?

I agree, all the priciest houses in the slope are limestone.
Let’s compare this for one second to yesterday’s House of the Day….
2.75 million for an ok (but still lovely) home on Underhill needing some work, near the site of recent drive by shootings in a nice, but still needing to be improved neighborhood with very poor schools.
4.195 million for a perfectly restored home with an award winning architectural design, featured in a magazine with great schools, on probably one of the nicest blocks in all of Brooklyn.
Hmmm….So either this house is way underpriced or yesterday’s was absurd.
This will test the upper limit of the market. Maybe not four million, but close.
It is a lovely old pile.
I can’t wait to see how much these houses actually sell for. This one seems really expensive, but we have not seen closing prices on houses that have recently gone in to contract. I really do think limestone commands a higher price than brick or brownstone. Maybe that is just my preference.
I hope they get 4 million. Looks like they’ve done an excellent job on the renovation. Perfect mix of old world charm and updated modern convenience. I’m not easily impressed, but this house really does it for me.
The exterior is beautiful and the interior nicely finished, but for $4 million, I’d have liked a master bath next to the master bedroom instead of down the hall and shared with a second bedroom. And the kitchen, though nice, is relatively narrow and eats up most of the backyard (you can see better pictures of it on the architect Paul Cha’s website).
well, once you subtract $1 million each for the two recessed lights, you get a much more reasonable $2.195.
I believe this house was on the Park Slope House Tour last year. If so, its perfect and I often reference it as my ideal home.
What is the most expensive home ever sold in Park Slope. Anyone know??
