Mayor de Blasio has decided to rent out his three-story townhouse while he and his family live in Gracie Mansion.

The rental ad posted Thursday lists the home at $4,975 a month.

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

It's listed with Tricia Webster of Brooklyn Properties. 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.
