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?

Wow, this is my dream house! I love the kitchen corner window.
Paul Cha needs better photographs of the project on his website. They just don’t do it justice.
I would Rent this townhouse out to porn shoots.
On the Paul Cha link check out the modern chelsea penthouse with the glass floors! Oh to be 15 again and under the care of a firm yet gentle young Brazillian house keeper with a windex obsession…
This is a nice pretentious house for a nice pretentious family. I’m sure they will have their “man”, who is sensible enough to live in the suburbs, pick them up in the towncar whenever they need to visit Prada or the plastic surgeon’s office.
As for the rear yard, it has been my experience that rich people in the city seldom if ever step outside.
The fact that even the nicest blocks in brooklyn do not have service alleys speaks of how mean-spirited our forebears were when laying out the city.
Now we are stuck with palatial homes and no place to park or put out the garbage. Walking down even the nicest street on trash day is disgusting. Its just one of those things we put up with for the privilige of living in the greatest city ever blah..blah…
4 million and you still have to look for parking
i would want nice fedders ac’s thru the wall and pave over the garden to park my suv
How much indooor space can you actually use? The loss of a decent sized yard would not suit me.
3.20 -you and other guys talking about the neighbors are very creepy.
The loss of the yard to the modern extension makes it feel too big for the space. It makes me a bit sad that a large house like this wasn’t considered enough, and an extension was added.
