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?

I would feel guilty living in that house…
At least this one is move-in. The St. Johns Place needs a total renovation and restoration.
Do all the homes on 3rd have those tiny yards?
well, its over the top decor. I think the St. Johns Place house has better bones and is “only” 2,8….
Wow, 1:49, you must not get out much.
It’s almost like the St. Johns Pl. house but much nicer
Gag me! I am trying to see past the chintz but it has blinded me completely. That bed! That gold leaf! It’s like something on HGTV.
I have friends who bought a house
in the Heights for 5 million and then converted the garden into a rental. Income is income, no matter how much you have already.
1:37: GENIUS!!!!!!!
That was definitely my laugh of the day. Maybe of the week!
By far the most hideous interior decor I have yet to see in a house at this price point.
