House of the Day: 535 1st Street Revisited
After Corcoran failed to move it back in 2006 first at $3,500,000 and then at $3,100,000, the limestone mansion at 535 1st Street in Park Slope has just come back on the market for another try with Douglas Elliman. The asking price? $3,675,000. The princely pad is 4,420 square feet large, but we’re not sure…

The asking price? $3,675,000. The princely pad is 4,420 square feet large, but we’re not sure why something that failed to sell 18 months ago would now sell for 20% higher in this market. A the very least, it wouldn’t hurt to have some interior photos to look at. (There is one on the old HOTD link below.)

House of the Day: 535 1st Street [Brownstoner]
I know this is a few years late, but this house was built for my Great Grandfather and family. The house was built sometime between 1915 and 1920. His name was John Louis McCormack. He was well known in the NY Curb Exchange. He died in 1927 and the family moved out sometime after 1930.

That’s because you don’t have a life.
I think there should be a HOTD every day!
you missed the second “to”
If they don’t need to sell this place, why has it been on the market twice in the last year, at different prices each time. Why bother then?
they’re not posting interior pics b/c they don’t need to to sell this place.
To the brokers: you really need to get some interior pictures. If the details are as nice as you describe, you need to show that. What are you getting the 6% commission for? I can afford this place, but I’m at a mature point in my search where I don’t bother anymore with listings that don’t have any interior pictures. It’s just a red flag. You’re doing a great disservice to your clients.
Oh please. Then that applies to nearly every house covered in HOTD since they’re all 3000 sq ft+.
