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?

To the guy who has never been to BS can simply go to http://www.shopbedstuy.com

Channel 2,4,5,7,9 and 11 is not going to BS…
so back in the 80’s all 5 of those requirements were met by the East Village, Lower East Side, Hells Kitchen, and Harlem.
so where were these cheap places in Manhattan people were living in during the 70’s and 80’s and getting awesome schooling and fresh direct diliveries? oh and no crime too.
Someone has never been to bed-stuy…

agreed, 12:30.
i have a serious aversion to the well-to-do suburb i grew up in. not looking forward to going back there tomorrow.
it is so completely soul-less.
i am so much happier in my little park slope studio than i’d ever be in a place like that.
I cant afford the neighborhood I grew up in.
but I grew up in the suburbs and it sucked.
