House of the Day: 946 President Street
One word: Wow! This new listing at 946 President Street in Park Slope is stunning. Designed in 1886 by by Charles T. Mott, the Romanesque Revival house is more than 25 feet wide and dripping, absolutely dripping, in period detail. It’s also been updated with a new kitchen, modern HVAC and updated bathrooms.

Mott, the Romanesque Revival house is more than 25 feet wide and dripping, absolutely dripping, in period detail. It’s also been updated with a new kitchen, modern HVAC and updated bathrooms. Droolworthy to say the least. So much so that we won’t be surprised if someone steps up for close to the asking price of $3,795,000.

Minard, truer words were never spoken. And if we had service alleys, our garbage could be in huge metal bins and not rotting and stinking out all over the streets in wasteful plastic bags.
Bob, wonder if those fakey 70s stained glass lights are gonna come back in. See Tumblr page of antique shop Erie Basin for more data. (They have one hanging there, looks OK.)
Maybe the new owner will want to rip out the interiors to create a new, modern interior. (When will interiors become landmarked?)
I agree with Ringo about the exterior: it is special.
Also, only one of the walls is a common-wall, and that wall is at the short end of the home.
The only down-side to this home is there is little room for improvement.
I love my house, but it won’t look the same to me one I go home this evening. I’d might furnish + paint the HOD differently, but nothing else. Don’t know if it’s the photogrpahy, but some of the rooms looked curved?
Wow, I am only just starting to realize how very different my taste really is from most people on this blog… While this house is certainly impressive in a museum-y kind of way, I would never ever want to live someplace that looked like this. (Except for the exterior–LOVE that.) I guess I like a little bit more blending of old and new, a little more vintage-y rather than Victorian, and maybe a little more weathered/lived-in rather than perfect. I’ve seen SO many other houses on this blog that while less “perfect” or “impressive” are in my opinion so much more beautiful.
To each their own I guess. 🙂
Minard, I hope you’re not too tall or you might miss CGar, even worse, step on him.
“but really one of these days I will show up, I would like to meet you and montrose”
What about the rest of us, Minard? Don’t forget Biff and I keep inviting you, too, lol. [And, just between us, there’s nothing all that great about Dave and Montrose. 😉 ]
i always think of rob as the authority on impeccable house keeping.
It has a working DUMBWAITER. I want a dumbwaiter. I never knew how much I wanted a dumbwaiter until just now. I might even build a two-story addition to my house simply to add a dumbwaiter.
What’s up with Bradbury wallpaper? Edumacate me.
Agree, though, that it’s a little “period-ed out.” You may live in a home from 19th Century, but you don’t have to live IN the 19th Century.
