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?

but it has recessed lighting. . . .
“I’m clearly the laziest person on the planet”
yep, i’d agree. it’s 6 short blocks down 7th. maybe 5 minutes, tops. unless you’re handicapped or obese.
hmm… so if you buy this house you’ll be surrounded by very rich 30-somethings. Those are the types that own the houses directly behind and adjacent to this house. Writers, entrepreneurs, lawyers, etc. It is like Stepford…
Cobble Hill is nice also, 2:46. But it’s also about 5 blocks wide and long. It’s a tiny micro-neighborhood. If you think 3rd Street or Park Slope is “the dumps” you really don’t belong in NYC.
paul cha link=incredible reno. absolutely lovely in all regards.
I’m clearly the laziest person on the planet. I look at this place and start counting blocks to the subway. Too many for me, but I guess the owners will simply call their driver.
2:45 = doesn’t know a joke when he/she reads one.
Park Slope is the dumps, give me Cobble Hill any day.
1:46,
This’ll fill in your “story” a bit (lawyer, not banker, though):
