Mayor de Blasio's Brooklyn Home Rented — by First Prospective Tenants Who Looked at It

Mayor de Blasio's three-story townhouse in Park Slope has been rented -- by the first people who went to look at it when it went on the market earlier this month, NBC 4 New York has learned.

The mayor decided to rent out his home while he and his family live in Gracie Mansion. The townhouse, which was listed at $4,975 a month, was on the market for 12 days before it was rented.

A spokesperson for the administration told NBC 4 New York the renters, who have met the de Blasios, met the asking price. The spokesperson said the renters are from Park Slope and were looking for more space.

The 100-year-old townhouse has three bedrooms, one bathroom and a small backyard complete with an herb garden and a crabapple tree.

According to the listing, the ground floor living room has newly refinished oak floors and a brick hearth with a hand painted tile hearthstone.

The home also features an eat-in kitchen with a new dishwasher and plenty of counter and storage space. It boasts high ceilings on the parlor floor, a mudroom and a perennial garden off the kitchen, according to the listing, which bills it as "an oasis in Park Slope."

The de Blasios moved into Gracie Mansion in July. Built in 1799, the Federalist-style house has eight bathrooms.
