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?

I don’t want this to become my mantra, but seriously: A (supposed) pitch-perfect home selling for $4M should include many more photos with the listing.
I am not a broker and I think this place is nicer than the one that sold for 3.449 (thanks for the correction…but I didn’t think it really mattered since that was the asking price and I don’t actually know what it SOLD for).
This house looks nicer to me than the other, thus the higher asking price.
Stop being such a troll, 1:44. Can we not have a civilized, mature conversation around here for once?
I walk past this house every day with my dog and love to try to peer inside, though they don’t have the goldfish effect going and I can never see inside much. Pity there aren’t more pictures. It backs up to Safran Foer’s place, or at least is adjacent to his open lot. It’s a young couple, wonder where they are going. I figured he was a banker (what can I say, I’m a story person.) Truly a lovely house in the perfect location.
Wow 1:38 — brokers out in force today:
“Considering Townsley sold, what looks to be a very similar Limestone for 3.49 or whatever they got, I’d say this is possible”
1) If it is similar, it is overpriced by 25%
2) It sold for 3.449 not 3.49 —
your fake mistake notwithstanding, still very very overpriced.
Wall Street is laying people off, economy is pulling back, seriously, this place is far overpriced.
I actually believe this house is worth it. Usually I think the HOTDs are overpriced but this one looks like it could sell for close to asking.
I was just going to say, the layout works way better than the jennifer connelly place.
Considering Townsley sold, what looks to be a very similar Limestone for 3.49 or whatever they got, I’d say this is possible. The finishes, kitchen and bath on this one look to be amazing.
The entire place is stunning. I like this more than the Connelly mansion, in fact…
that’s a million dollars per photo!
Judging from the Townsley website, it looks as though they recently sold another 3rd street house which was asking 3.449 million
