551_3rd_int.jpgThe 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?

  1. 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.

  2. 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??

  3. 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…

  4. 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.
