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?

Mother of God “ritzy address” – The What I’m sad to say that I am forced to write: some day this war is gonna end…
I feel sick…………..
I live on the UWS and am looking for a brownstone in Brooklyn. However, I don’t want to sacrifice a yard for a “ritzy” address and a flip, which is what you’re paying for in this case.
just do a search on corcoran for upper west side.
do it. you will be SHOCKED!!!
most 3 beds are in the 4 millions…and 2 beds in the 2 millions…
and the uws is not the most expensive neighborhood in manhattan.
you all did read that bonuses this year will be a record, right??
These houses were not made for bulky furniture… in 1880s when this house was built they did not have this stuff… but getting past all that this is a lovely house only thing that is not nice is the price and the rear yeard could be a bit larger…
I just bought 2:05’s apartment. Look for him in the Slope in a couple of months. Right before the whole world FALLS TO SHIT!
The What
Someday this war’s gonna end…
2:34, people LOVE to greatly understate the amount they paid for their apartment “back in 1997”, especially those on the UWS. It’s common.
2:12 — that Corcoran listing looks suspcious. They seem to have the exact same view from every room! In some of them, it looks like a picture on a wide-screen TV, not a window. Very strange.
It’s not people from Manhattan making brooklyn bad. It’s people from manhattan with such awful taste that they would pay that much for a house with such hideous finishes.
