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?

bland on the inside–especially the reno work done by the architect. You people are so easy, unless of course those that are raving have a vested interest in this house.
It’s a beautiful house on the outside, but, with the exception of the dining room, is nothing special on the inside.
2:42 = has never been to Brooklyn
No denying that is a real nice place.
Tell me the other bathroom has a big tub and I’ll go buy a lottery ticket!
*Yawn* Almost as boring as the place yesterday and the day before. 4 mil+ for a bland house that needs work on a sketchy block in the South Slope? I think not.
You REALLY have to look at the pictures on Paul Cha’s website. My lord.
This place is something special. Thanks for that link, 2:27.
Thanks for the tip about Paul Cha’s website. This place is amazing. Can’t imagine living like that. How could you possibly be unhappy if you lived in a sweet place like this? For some reason, the last photo of the bathroom reminded me that, despite the fact that our incomes are dramatically different, we’re all human at the end of the day. I think it was the toilet paper that did it for me.

limestone is brighter, and its also grander looking.
I can’t imagine why someone in the West Village or Upper West Side wouldn’t want to cash out of their similar home (which would sell for 15 and 10 million, respectively) pocket the difference and move to Park Slope and never work again…
I agree, all the priciest houses in the slope are limestone.
