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 for 4.2m?
some house! next to an apt building though. Has anyone seen it, how does it compare to the other house on 2nd street?
Yep, they’ll get it. Fab block. Plus they get to look out over Jonathan Safran Foer and Nicole Krauss’ Volvo.
This area is so fringe. $750K tops.
When I see a house like this and remember what it’s like to walk up 3rd Street towards the Park, it’s easy to forget about all the Park Slope hate and realize what really makes the area so special…These homes are simply beautiful.
me likey!!!
The thing about a place like this is that it is so special, it will always hold its value. The market may go down or already is, but you can be pretty assured that a house like this will be worth 5 million in 10 years, 6 million in 20 years, etc…
It’s like buying a fine Italian made violin. They don’t make any more of them and are works of art, in their own right.
judging from the pictures i DO see, this place looks freakin gorgeous. the part of the kitchen we can see through that doorway looks pretty sweet.
call me a broker , but i think it will sell for $4. it’s gorgeous. (I’m not a broker, by the way.)
