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.

On the door removal issue….a good friend has a limestone not far from here and it is a very similar very open floorplan that revolves around the staircase. it is all original. Hers is much larger than this one but there’s never been any sliding parlour doors and such. It too is a one family (about 7,000 sq. ft) and I think those houses that were always one family and designed as such did not have the doors that we take for granted in brownstones.
“8.5 and 9 minutes respectively (at a fair clip).”
NOKI–I hear that but on a daily basis (if one commutes–don’t know if you or hubby will be doing that) it does tack 20 minutes onto your day. But this does look like the kind of house you have been holding out for based on your description of what you are looking for.
LOL, Denton!
Noki: (a) I LOVE when we agree; and (2) I can’t wait ’til you move to Brooklyn. 😉

Let me tell you about the very rich. They are different from you and me.
Nice to see a house like that with no stinkin’ rental!
“there are also NO convenient Bodegas in like a 10 block radius of this house. no thank you!”
Rob, no need for a bodega. There’s wine storage in the lower level. You can fill that up with forties, and you can install a humidor for your Marlboros.
I predicted this listing as HOTD last night. I’m glad because we like it and plan to go take a looksie on Sunday. It is one of our favorite blocks in the whole of the City, no bodegas be damned. And we have timed the walk to the 2/3 and the Q from here and it works out to 8.5 and 9 minutes respectively (at a fair clip).
I agree with CGar that one must look past the decor and color choices but once you do, the bones are really beautiful. And I think creating a master ensuite would not be too painful as long as you consider it the master ‘floor’. Kitchen could be worked out without a complete gut – backsplash and possible counter changes, perhaps even swap out the cabinet fronts (refacing) rather than completely replacing…
at least the kitchen matches the parlor furniture. Barf=barf.
Great house though. .
There would definitely have been a wall separating the front parlor from the entry hall, even though the foot of the stair is in the “cenral” parlor. For once, I think removing the wall was actually the right choice. But the place looks like a club to me or a little hotel, not a home. But I don’t pretend to share the same tastes as someone looking to buy a 3.5 million dollar brownstone.
