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.

Beautiful. Though kitchen feels austere to me. And I wish instead of two exterior pictures, there was at least one of an upstairs room.
Am I missing something? There are 2 interior pics and the kitchen shot. How do you even have enough info to write “appears to be perfect in just about every way”?
Agreed. That is a real beauty. it has most all the bells & whistles: parlour level formal dining room, kitchen with nice granite & SS appliances.
The lack of an ensuite bathroom can be forgiven by the fact that the master bedroom is the only one on that floor. But that bathroom could be larger. I’m not complaining, just nitpicking and when someone pays close to $3.0 MM it should have ALL the bells and whistles.
This is indeed one of those dream homes, guess I should have gone into finance.
The very top floor seems to have many rooms…maybe it appears very charming but maybe I’d want to knock out a wall to enlarge a space.
But that is the ONLY thing, and I could be talked out of it easily enough I’m sure.
Closer to the park?
It’s between 8th Avenue and Prospect Park West. It’s literally steps from the Park.
Gorgeous house. Best I’ve seen profiled here in a while. It looks pristine.
The dog-leg stair on the main floor is nice,allowing for a more inviting entrance hall. Not a big fan of the kichen, but it’s not horrid. Wish it was closer to the park for over 3 million.
why are you quote statistics from the 1890s? :-/

Sorry, Rob….Park Slope has gone through ups and downs, but it’s always been like this.
“The 1890 census showed Park Slope to be the richest community in the United States”
i think it’s funny when i tell people who arent from nyc that i live in a neighborhood with row houses can cost upwards of 3 million dollars. they say youre crazy youre so ghetto i dont believe you youre making that up! and i laugh and tell them it’s a very crack infested neighborhood.
seriously tho, these prices are just ridiculous and unsustainable.
