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?

Mansions are free-standing in the suburbs, but in the city they are often part of a row, or semi-attached, like this one.
mansion to me always means freestanding.
Biff, The parlor floor layout says “mansion” to me.
this is not an ordinary brownstone.
The backyard of the apartment building to the right looks a bit dreary and takes the curb appeal down a notch or two. 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.
“It looks like a stunning mansion to me.”
I agree it’s stunning, sam, but is this really considered a mansion (and I don’t mean in the true Mill Basin/Dyker Heights sense of the word) or are we getting a bit loose in applying that term to any brownstone in decent shape?
My guess is that the house dates from the 1880’s and was renovated in 1907. The renovation included the new oval dining room, the Caen stone mantle, and the light-color woodwork.
It looks like a stunning mansion to me.
“Discreet viewings by appointment only.” Remember that people. No Fjorder, no mariachis in tow.
Why no pictures of the kitchen and baths brokers!!!??? Get with it.
Not loving this house, esp. that wood stain.
They did an oval shaped (why???) addition but yet I can’t figure out where the kitchen is.
new2hood – they must be embarrassed to be selling. You’ll have to knock on the door disguised as the pizza man or a keyspan operative.
