House of the Day: 494 3rd Street

This new listing at 494 3rd Street in Park Slope is a whole lotta house, and a pretty darn attractive one at that. The five-story, 22-foot-wide brownstone has lots of impressive original detail and grand proportions. The location, just in from 7th Avenue, is great too. The only potential hairball in the deal is the fact that the house is currently configured as a four-family, not what most house hunters are looking for. That said, the owner’s duplex has a couple of thousand square feet, plenty of room to hold most households, so maybe with interest rates and rents where they are the asking price of $3,699,000 pencils out. Think it does?
