House of the Day: 627 3rd Street
Holy double-parlor, Batman! This new limestone listing at 627 3rd Street is sure to get some real estate envy stirred up. The one-family house has oodles of wood paneling and has been on the receiving end of a major updating, including new kitchen, full-on HVAC and restored exteriors. Of course, all this Park Slope-y goodness…

BHO–great to hear your enthusiasm for architecture.

I get floored when I walk around the townhouse blocks of the East 60’s and 70’s. Incredible architecture. Incredible fantasies.
fantasies of which are completely shot when you realize what’s behind those facades.

BHO, I agree. i used to live on East 54th and loved looking in those places in the 60s & 70s.
I agree, Park Sloper. This is ‘Bricks and Brownstone’-level porn. For Brooklyn at least. I get floored when I walk around the townhouse blocks of the East 60’s and 70’s. Incredible architecture. Incredible fantasies.

The Ryans (brokers)? Mother/daughter team?
I particularly like that first photo with the seemless, soffit-less ceiling (will try when I buy). Why not for all floors? Oh, the soffits are part of the charm.

“Comparing the prices of townhouses in the [Upper East Side and Park Slope] is a meaningless exercise.”
Minard, I agree that houses in these two neighborhoods are catering to different demographics, which I acknowledged in my original posting. My point was about the quality of the house itself. In that way, this house is more comparable to the townhouses you find in the East 60s and 70s in Manhattan than to what is generally available in Brooklyn. All quibbling about decor and layout aside, this is a truly fine property.
DIBS – for every “outlier”, every week, there are a handful of red comps.
‘farm – That’s why I put a question mark next to “Outlier”. It didn’t sell yet. But yes, it very well may have commanded a higher ask at the height of the market in which case “outlier” criteria wouldn’t be met because it would fall like everything else. It was my knee-jerk way of saying “Damn, now that’s a hot pad!” whether it made sense or not. That first photo tells it all!

if only it had parking…the kitchen only needs a little work not a complete gut…the master bedroom could be made nicer without too much trouble….
what can one expect for only 3.59 million dollars?
