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…

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 doesn’t come cheap: The asking price is $3,595,000. The first open house takes place this Sunday from 1 to 3 p.m.

[wiping drool from chin] Wow. I just love this. Regarding the open parlor, this house is wider and deeper than mine, but a previous owner took out the parlor divider (and, unfortunately, move the stairs to the garden floor to the other side of the room, making the middle very narrow). It’s a useful layout for us, though, because we use the back part as the living room and the front part (fenced off) as a playpen for our toddler. It has a great feel of openness to it. I may have to go to this open house just to get ideas about what I could do in my place.
I like this house. Far more elegant than I live, but I think I could adapt quite well. I’d fill it with mission pieces. Can’t help it, I love wood. The double parlor would allow me to have afternoon chamber music concerts for my friends followed by an evening of libations and intellectual conversations. Now if it only had parking included…
BHO — You confuse two different concepts of the term outlier. Yes, a fancy house in this range is an outlier among the price range of available inventory for Brooklyn townhouses. But that does not make it an outlier in terms of an indication of the state or direction of the market. We won’t know until the house sells what it tells us about the market. For that, you would need to comapare it with sales of relatively similar houses – and yes, there are some — at different points in time. But you do have a tendency to say any sale that came in higher than you would predict is an outlier (or an idiot buyer). But it is a contradiction in terms to call a majority of sales outliers.
Somewhere in this house is a dish of pastel colored Jordan Almonds.
Dave, rich folks in the old days did not want someone to walk in the front door and look into their parlors. Select people were invited into the reception room, and very select people into the front parlor. Visitors stopping by to drop off their calling cards would only see the entryway.
An open layout like this would have been thought completely gauche for a city dwelling of a respectable family. The layout changes were probably done a long time ago so they look original.
Great nursing home.

I feel for you but sometimes stubborness is not a virtue.

No, but economic prescience is!

BJO, these lareg “outlier” sales are occuring weekly much to the chagrin of your hopeful plan of prices continuing to drop!!!!
