House of the Day: 591 2nd Street
We’re in love! This limestone house at 591 2nd Street in Park Slope appears to be perfect in just about every way. It has full-on original charm but has also been updated tastefully and thoroughly. For once, we even like the new kitchen! It’ll be pretty interesting to see whether such a perfectly appointed pad…
We’re in love! This limestone house at 591 2nd Street in Park Slope appears to be perfect in just about every way. It has full-on original charm but has also been updated tastefully and thoroughly. For once, we even like the new kitchen! It’ll be pretty interesting to see whether such a perfectly appointed pad can crack the $3 million mark. (In this case, the asking price is actually $3,200,000.) We’ll be surprised, but we don’t think it’ll miss by much.

DIBS, I take it you consider Architectural Digest to be a beacon of taste? Snort.

It was a joke, shillstoner.
YOU ARE THE SELF-PROCLAIMED BEACON OF TASTE AS WE ALL KNOW.

That chandelier can’t be too big on the garden level, shillstoner; not like a chandelier on the parlour level. It’s too cramped.

“I also need to see the article in Architectural Digest where your “taste” was deemed the most appropriate.”

I think that when there’s a formal dining room, the kitchen should be more for “entertaining” briefly before dinner and an island is the most convenient way to accomodate that. If you put a table and chairs close to the kitchen, your view is of the countertops…that’s no good.
This place has informal dining on the garden level, entertaining and formal dining on the parlour level, as it should be but contrary to MR. Taste’s screwed up ideas.
The gym is bigger than the maid’s room. Poor maid.
DeLepp, it depends on the specific house–the dining room placement varried. My garden level dining room has very gorgeous wainscotting, a very orante mantle, ornate plaster moldings, and a chandelier–definitely not for the servants. But the kitchen was always on the garden level.
