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?

I’ll probably end up settling on this house. Should talk to my banker this afternoon.
That being said, this place has some strange “staging” in the photos. Like the back parlour. The single couch staring at the fireplace. Gave me a sense of an angry old couple that sits in silence, looking straight forward, for 2 hours each night until they retire to their twin beds.
I opened up a parlour floor in Chicago. Really nice colums are easily available. How great would these stained columns look on the parlour???

love that it’s a 1 family too. above 2.5M, one shouldn’t have to deal with tenants – ie hello, you’re rich
Love the exposed beams in kitchen. Don’t love the metal structural post in the parlor, though I suppose that is what you have to do if you want to eliminate structural walls on the parlor level. In re kitchen on parlor level, this is an ongoing conversation. My preference is to have the kitchen on parlor with a deck off kitchen, that is my dream layout, but I get why the kitchen was originally on the garden level. Nice house, should be a This Weeks Biggest Sale soon enough.
Agree, CGfan. Also something more period appropriate needs to be done to those parlour floor columns.
That is beautiful. Will go over $3M IMO.
This is a very beautiful home. My only (very small) quibble is about the ease of living in such a beautiful space with a family. Although it is architecturally incorrect, I would prefer the kitchen on the parlor floor. We live in a brownstone and are constantly taking stairs from upper bedroom floors to the main living space. If the kitchen and family room are in lowest level, that’s an extra flight of stairs I just wouldn’t want to do every day. The parlor floor is lovely, but what often happens is that everyone hangs out on the ground floor because it is near the kitchen. However, I am sure that many people disagree, since this is just a matter of preference (and perhaps laziness!) But the house is lovely.
Looks lovely except for the incongruous recessed lighting and the ostentatious marble bathroom.
Beautiful home. Nice renovation. Good floor plan. Hedge fund approved location. Interesting litmus test of this market.
