House of the Day: 31 Prospect Park West
While this one-family brick house at 31 Prospect Park West doesn’t have the same spectacular interiors that some other Park Slope houses on the market in its price range have, it’s got an unusual design, a grand address and a driveway to boot.

While this one-family brick house at 31 Prospect Park West doesn’t have the same spectacular interiors that some other Park Slope houses on the market in its price range have, it’s got an unusual design, a grand address and a driveway to boot. As a result, the owner’s trying to get over $1,000 a foot, asking $3,250,000 for the 2,890-square-foot pad. While this is a special one for the reasons stated above, we think the owner may have blown it with the recent kitchen renovation: This ain’t a kitchen befitting a $3 million house. Then again, you could always adjourn to the roofdeck.

You are all so unqualified to even be looking at this house.
oh – forgot to say facing park couple blocks down from here.
These was another house for sale a year or so ago featured on Brownstoner for about this price. (no driveway but larger more attractive).
Propshark does not show it as sold.
Delusions of grandeur. Who cares about Jennifer Connolly! She and the park don’t justify this price. Take the park out of the equation and the house is worth maybe $750,000. With the location – the house is worth maybe $2.1.
This one will sit for 12+ months. There won’t be a bidding war.
According to Zillow, sold for $1.4 million in Sept. 2004.
Not a bad return…
The new buyers in Park Slope are buying for consumption, not investment. “$2 million” kitchen is irrelevant; it’s going anyway. Overpriced is irrelevant; it just shows the new owners have money to burn. Anyone who needs to worry about housing as an investment or getting an appraisal for a mortgage is priced out. This will sell fast to someone who doesn’t need to think about such vulgarities.
If you don’t get that, you don’t understand how the rich spend their money.
It doesn’t have to be a brownstone to be cool. And not everybody wants or needs a huge brownstone with a rental tenant. We opted not to have a tenant. I’d hate it.
I have always been intrigued by these houses too. Okay and hi, these are the only houses on Prospect Park West with their own driveways! Very few houses in all of Park Slope with driveways actually. Sold. Within a week for sure. They won’t be taking out a big mortgage to do it, either. Not the new wave of buyers in Park Slope. People keep not getting that and I don’t get it.
just ridiculous
la-la land
Bed + Jennifer Connolly + Mrs. Nash’s daughters + Mrs. Nash = $2.
