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.

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?

Or is his typing arm worn out?
What does TheWhat make of all this jibber-jabber I wonder?
1. No school in Bed Stuy scored higher than schools in Park Slope.
2. Fresh Direct does not deliver to Bed Stuy.
3. The foreclosure rate in Bed Stuy is one of the highest of any neighborhood in NYC.
4. Bed Stuy is one of the most dangerous neighborhoods in the 5 boroughs according to the NYC crime statistics.
5. There are very few supermarkets, very few drugstores, very few if any coffee shops, bakeries or you know….stores that one likes to have if they are spending a million dollars on a home.

You are not spending one million you are spending three. For 1 mil you get Bed Stuy without the 2 mil amenities you mentioned and the same house 7 minutes away.

We wantum BIG BROWNSTONUM not scrawny apartmentum. How!
1:23 ssshhhhhh. Don’t tell. Actually don’t worry. We know it’s the racism, not the schools and the services that keep park slope wannabes out of BS. If they can’t come up with the coin they’ll go somewhere else, but not Bedsty

In CH or BS you can buy three houses for the price of one in PS – reverse Blockbusting. White people need to organize in small groups pool their resources and make a shitload of money in fringe nabes. Get together with 4 or 5 fellow househunters at the next open house and organize people. Buy near the A express stop on Nostrand and Utica 12 to 15 minutes to the city, it’s a no brainer. THINK!!!! Some of it will turn to shit once AY is built but not CH and BS.
