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?

This looks like a BEAUTY!
definitely 3rd street.
Definitely a better buy (and cheaper too!) than that ridiculously overpriced Washington Park listing.
Even if they are not going to use it as a rental, there are still guest or maybe an elderly parnent(s) that could ended up using the garden apartment. Or it could make a great home office. Don’t be so quick to dismiss it and that all buyers in this price range automatically need ONLY a one family.
maybe michelle williams will buy it–and let heath crash in the rental with his current model!
So what’s the fancier address, 3rd Street or 2nd Street?
1:37, I nominate you for best news parody written from a shitty, shoddy new construction condo 2007! Keep up the work and make sure to never get a job, so you can keep entertaining us!
I would say probably $100 per Sq. Ft. too much!! But who knows? It is only worth what somebody will pay!!
House looks beautiful. Two things:
Buyers at that high price point most likely do not want or need the garden rental–they’re looking for a one-family–and it’s a pain in the ass to rip it out and convert it back.
It also has a very small yard, visible in the picture. I guess this is because the house is set far back to make room for the front yard, and the lot is 95 ft long, not 100.
