House of the Day: 567 1st Street
You don’t see the phrase “quadruple parlor floor” tossed around too often, but it made the grade in this listing for 567 1st Street in Park Slope. The same rear addition that makes such a phrase possible is also responsible for pushing the square-footage tally on this four-story brownstone of the 5,000 mark (it’s 5,352…
You don’t see the phrase “quadruple parlor floor” tossed around too often, but it made the grade in this listing for 567 1st Street in Park Slope. The same rear addition that makes such a phrase possible is also responsible for pushing the square-footage tally on this four-story brownstone of the 5,000 mark (it’s 5,352 square feet to be exact). It makes the claim of “extra-wide” which technically may be right (Property Shark says 21 feet) but is stretching it a bit. Anyway, beautiful house, stone’s throw from the park—what’s not to like! The asking price is $2,989,000. Buyer-friendly or oh-so-2007?

While I was almost drawn in by bayridgegirl’s certitude, the only thing that saved me was that she is wrong.
Homes like Biltmore, most of the historic homes in Newport, Monticello etc… are referred to as estates rather than mansions.
So, these should be placed on top of the list, the “mini” in front of mansion removed and the rest is fine.
I think you’re right Biff. Please strike my earlier comments from the record m’lord.
There are grand pianos and there are concert grands.
This is a mini-grand.
San Simeon has an organ the size of a brownstone, oops, damn, I take that back! A pipe organ, a pipe organ!
FYI: this house has been on the market since June. The original listing price was $3.489 million. As per Streeteasy:
06/11/2008-Listed in StreetEasy by Elliman at $3,489,000
10/06/2008-Price decreased to $3,289,000
10/22/2008-Price decreased to $2,989,000
And San Quentin is where the (Charles) Manson is.
Can we now discuss for the next 30 posts if that really is a grand piano or if it’s in fact a baby grand?
It has a music room, so therefore it’s a mansion.
Mansion is where the heart is.
It does have a grand piano at least.
