House of the Day: 627 3rd Street

It doesn’t get much more classic than a 1910 French Renaissance Axel Hedman limestone half a block from Prospect Park. The single family house at 627 3rd Street was a HOTD in 2010. It has three stories over an English basement and comes chock full of splendid period details as well as top-of-the-line upgrades such as central air.

Some of the features include an open-plan front parlor and center stair hall, a neo-Colonial-style wood mantel, a paneled dining room with coffered ceiling, elaborate parquet and inlaid floors, and the original pass-through sinks.

Looks like a proposed addition in 2011 didn’t happen. In fact, the house doesn’t seem to have changed much since it last traded for $3,297,500 in 2010. Now the ask is $3,950,000. Sound reasonable?
