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?

Not feeling the modern interiors.
Yes, I remember this place from last year’s house tour. The garden is small but gorgeous, with bamboo planted around the blue stone patio. That corner window in the kitchen lets in incredible light, and you have a lovely view of the Safran-Foer/Krausse double-lot garden. These gorgeous pictures don’t even do the place justice. I’d buy this house in a heartbeat if I had the dough.
the interior of the house is very nice it’s nothing to swoon over though. kind of a nicer version of west elm. the new buyer will probably gut the place anyway and start over. once you get to that strata of money nothing is surprising.
1:46 — good find. Yes, must be family money from the Netherlands. No way an associate at a law firm could afford this house otherwise.
I don’t mind a small yard. Just a place to have a smoke, a cup of coffee or dinner would be great with me. It’s the city, afterall. If you really need a large back yard, the burbs are probably better for you.
Any outdoor space in NYC is a plus, in my book…
I remember this as the highlight of last years house tour. An absolutely amazing home.
If I recall, the backyard is tiny and the lot next to them isn’t all that to look at (but at least it brings in some nice light) but other than that, its stunning.
Hey, thanks 1:46! It must be family money from the Netherlands, then!
“hmm… so if you buy this house you’ll be surrounded by very rich 30-somethings.”
yup…just like most of manhattan…
I heard they are moving to Europe…
