House of the Day: 150 Lincoln Place
This brownstone at 150 Lincoln Place in Park Slope hit the market a couple of weeks ago with an asking price of $3,195,000. It’s a pretty gorgeous house (lots o’ original details plus tasteful) modern kitchen so we wouldn’t be surprised if it ends up going pretty close to ask. We’d place our bet on…

We’d place our bet on it coming in at just under the psychological barrier of $3 million. Thoughts?

Recessed lighting is unobtrusive!?
Maybe for a blowfish.
Not for a pigeon!
and i don’t care what anyone says, you need recessed lights to light a place like that, and they’re totally unobtrusive
Whoa. I wouldn’t touch a thing.
Need a fleet of cleaning help for an open plan family house – can’t shut the door on the clutter!
When I first looked at this, I was blinded by the glitz. But reading some of the comments, I see what people mean about the parlour floor and/or the garden floor. All that openness is somewhat diminishing to the original plan and feel of a house like this. But someone just paid $106 million for a small Picasso. I’d rather pay $3 million for this house. Might make the garden into a family room/kitchenette/guest suite, however–move the main kitchen up to the Office. It ain’t 1900 anymore, or whenever this beauty was born. Ah, perchance to dream…
I am also a huge fan of that lovely Park Slope house. It has BBDW built-ins and it’s in the book “Restoring a House in the City.”
‘…features new HVAC, plumbing and electric systems throughout.’
I’ll go out on a limb and agree with those who have deduced it has central AC.
Really like the open floor plan. One of the biggest issues in any row house (especially the first two floors) is interior light. Perhaps 229 Warren St (BHS listing on a double lot) is an example which more people will find aligned with their taste.
However, the quibbles I have heard about this one seem largely cosmetic fixes that are fairly easy to resolve.
Wait, ParkSloper, that IS the house I’m talking about! Is it yours? I have a huge crush on it…
Pretty sure this has central air — if you view the photos full screen you can see the little round holes of the vents.
It’s a pretty spectacular house. Feels like a blank canvas in that there’s so much opportunity to add more character via better decorating/furniture choices. But I always worry about the heating bills on those wide open loft-like parlor floors. In mid-January when it’s 20 degrees outside, it’s gotta be tough to keep that kinda space warm. Obviously anyone who can afford to buy this place doesn’t have to worry, but it would feel wasteful to me to use so much energy.
Btw, there’s a house in the Rizzoli book Brooklyn Modern that has very similar architectural bones but kept its original layout. Extremely modern interior design and, overall, much more successful than this.
