House of the Day: 551 3rd Street

The four-story brownstone at 551 3rd Street changed hands in 2004 for $1,900,000; the new owner proceeded to do a pretty serious renovation as well as an over-the-top interior design that maybe be a bit much for some people. But if you can look past the chintz, this is certainly a beautiful house with tons of original detail on one of the more desireable blocks in The Slope. The asking price of $3,750,000 looks high to us (by a few hundred thousand dollars) but the fact that it needs no work could work in its favor. Think it has a shot at getting asking price?

Park Slope is as close to city living paradise as I could imagine, 4:53.
Welcome to the neighborhood.
“I wouldn’t be surprised if the owners put a million into it.”
How? Burning benjamins in the WBFP?
beyonce bought 4 floors of richard meier’s on prospect park.
you heard it here first.

They’re probably selling because they’ve finally realized that they’ve got no garage, no rubber sheets, no heli-pad, and no midgets.
What’s Brooklyn Casket?
Why are people so shocked by this price? The ugly decor is not hard to change. Brownstones have regularly sold in the 3.5 range around here.. probably this will go for around that. I have no idea what it looked like when they bought it, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the owners put a million into it… wonder why they’re selling.
Just one more thing:
A car is like a fancy stove or a fancy fridge, or for that matter glass tiles in your bathroom, you don’t need it, but its so much fun to have it.
