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. 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, you gotta agree since rob is the authority on ridiculous things to say!!!!
dave, i was going to go to the party at last exit, but I must have walked right by it, couldn’t find it, and then i thought i had the wrong location in my head, later I saw where it is, sigh.
today i have a dinner invitation so i can’t. but really one of these days I will show up, I would like to meet you and montrose.
I cannot find fault with this home.

Minard…come to Brooklyn Social later.
Maybe it’s the photography. Every photo has a mauve wash over it.
one thing I do really like about this house is the exterior. I always thought it would be kind of a drag to drop a few million on a brownstone that looks just exactly like all the other brownstones on the block.
eccentric floorplan, i have not seen one like it.
it is a big house, one would need a small staff to properly keep a place like this up. but i must say, only in nyc would such a huge expensive residence not have a place to keep a car. the absence of service alleys was faulty planning on the part of our ancestors, second only to the selection of crumbly brown sandstone as a veneer on their brick houses.
sorry, i have not had lunch today.
“Bob Marvin, is that the oak table and hanging Tiffany-style light you mentioned?”
It looks similar BHS, at least in that small photograph, but I suspect that THIS Tiffany-style fixture is a touch better than the early-70s plexi one I’ve now got stored in my cellar.
