House of the Day: 566 74th Street

This round-front brick at 566 74th Street is looking like a decent deal at the asking price of $749,000. It’s got plenty of original detail (including some very nice floors) and what it lacks in interior square footage it partially makes up for with a 148-foot-deep yard. There’s a court-ordered change in ownership listed on Property Shark from April that’s got us scratching our head. Perhaps it’s somehow related to the fact that this is a relatively low asking price. Anyone know the back-story?
