House of the Day: 383 3rd Street
While not as jaw-dropping as last Thursday’s House of the Day at 651 3rd Street, today’s house at 383 3rd Street is still nothing to sniff at. The 22-footer has lots of original detail, including some sweet plaster moldings on the parlor floor. The kitchen in the owner’s triplex looks so-so, but the bathroom looks…

The 22-footer has lots of original detail, including some sweet plaster moldings on the parlor floor. The kitchen in the owner’s triplex looks so-so, but the bathroom looks nice to us. With $2,000 a month from rent on the ground-floor apartment, do you think the asking price of $2,695,000? Seems overpriced by 10 percent or so to us.

a small point to make as someone who lived in manhattan for many years and moved to park slope last year…i never thought it would be the case, but i’ve found that, especially on the weekend, i don’t ever take the train. there is so much to do here in the neighborhood…the park…the restaurants and bars, the shopping, a quick bus up vanderbilt to the flea market.
so while the trains in the center slope are a little farther than they are in the north, it has had little bearing on my life because even in manhattan i didn’t find my neighborhood this all inclusive.
it’s nice to not feel like you HAVE to leave your neighborhood. i had a long 4 day weekend and left for manhattan only once on saturday night (it was fleet week, and HAD to hit some gay bars in the east village with friends) but otherwise was perfectly content here in ps all weekend. the park was magnificent.
2:42/2:37. Please move to Idaho. If you think 5th Avenue and 1st Street is scary now, you really need to leave the city.
I’m dead serious.
2:37. You are living in 1993.
5th Avenue is amazing. Especially in the evening. Al di La (one of the best Italian resturants in the city) is around the corner. As are 100 other fine bars/restaurants/shops.
Yes that is the park with seedy characters and drug dealers. I know it’s sounds shocking to some, but I’m afraid that’s the case. I live across the street from the park and I see it all the time.
2:37 I think you this is the price to buy the house now, not in 1992.
2:30/2:32
Can I ask you both something…?
If this apartment were on Avenue B and 6th Street, would you have said the same thing? How about on 77th and 1st? 52 and 10th? 78th and Riverside Drive?
No one in Manhattan thinks a 10 minute walk to the train is obscene, but for some reason if you aren’t literally on top of a subway in Brooklyn, it’s too far. I really don’t get it.
The alternative for many was moving to the suburbs. So I think staying in the city and being a few extra blocks away from the train to get a house which you’d pay 3 times for in Manhattan is worth it.
Maybe this attitude is why Brooklynites are fatter?
In the summer you can hear the noise from The Gate all night.
This house is too close to 5th Avenue. It can get pretty scary along that strip at night. Lots of shady characters, prostitutes, dealers, and even a few wild dogs. Not too appealing for families.
what are the boundaries of Center Slope?
