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?

“These houses are two a penny in London.”
Yikes, UK real estate has fallen further and faster than I thought!
mansion: a very large, impressive, or stately residence. (random house)
Mansion…NO!!
Townhouse…YES.
Mansion = Breakers, San Simeon, Biltmore, etc.
Where’s TownhouseLady to show all of us what a mansion really looks like?
The wikipedia entry for mansion has got pictures of houses that are mansions.
Sender, I am from London. We’d never call this a mansion. These houses are two a penny in London.
This screams “needs major updating” to me.
“Why didn’t they put lot-line windows on that side of the house? It would sure add some light to the extra-deep presumably dark townhouse.”
best suggestion i’ve heard all day! i have a friend with a huge brownstone with a double extension and home is beautiful but very dark. not alot of natural light on the parlor at all.
nope. it’s a mansion, you’re going to say a kensington attached house in london isn’t a mansion?
i like it, thought, huge and i like the layout, except i’d turn the dining room into a kick ass kitchen…
but that wood might be a dealbreaker, maybe not so bad in person…
plus i’d play doctor fetish games in the garden floor…
