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 grew up in Hell’s Kitchen in the 70s and 80s – with prostitutes hiding from pimps in my entranceway”
How very authentic of you. Shouldn’t you be somewhere “keeping it real?”
Go on now, shoo, shoo!
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving, and be thankful for what you have.

I would rather you die than live in Park Slope too.
We don’t want you here, trust me.
11:21 – I would rather die than live in Park Slope. And I grew up in Hell’s Kitchen in the 70s and 80s – with prostitutes hiding from pimps in my entranceway as I let myself in at nigh – when most of you and your parents were living in YOUR lily white suburbs. So YOU can go fuck yourself.
11:10…I work in the arts, and I knew full well that when I chose my profession that I would probably never make over a 100K.
Does that mean that I expect the world to provide a mansion for me in the same neighborhood where I grew up???
Hell NO!!
I’m not a baby like half the readers on here, though.
If I wanted that house badly enough, I would have worked on Wall Street. It’s all about choices. You made one, so live with it.
The differences between Bed Stuy and Park Slope are not simply about race. Please don’t be so naive.
They are about crime, safety, quality of schools, services and the list goes on.
10:33 the problem is it’s not ‘their’ neighborhood. It’s their landlords’. All you people who think there is something wrong with a society where you can’t have whatever you want if you don’t have the $ for it are hypocrites. What you want is to live in the all white neighborhood where you ‘feel’ safe sending your kids to a school without metal detector. If you’re so up on equality, move to Bed-sty which you can afford. Those who say it’s not the blacks they don’t like are full of it. BS has better train access along the A/C than those riding the F. It’s just as close to the park as many places in S. slope and down below 5th. It has spectacular brownstones. Face it. You want to be in park slope because you’re a bigot.
Yes I am 10:44. And 10:46 – I guess you’re right. It serves those people right. Why should people who choose a career other than banking or lawyering expect to live in a decent neighb in a reasonably sized apt? Who the hell do they think they are? What an unbelievable sense of entitlement these people have! Get ye all to Bay Ridge and Crown Heights. Leave Manhattan, PS and BH to those of us who have made the great sacrifice of pursuing the more renumerative occupations.
Straight Outta Compton rocks.
