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 Beverly Hills all my life. I decided I wanted to work in the not for profit arts, but I can’t for the life of me figure out why I can’t live in a 3 million dollar house like my parents.
Maybe I’ll whine all day about it online to strangers from the basement of my Compton sublet in the hope that someday, somehow I’ll be able to afford that place on Mullholland Drive.
you sure that’s who “she” is, 10:33??
you don’t sound like you know your ass from your elbow.
FYI 10:29 – I recently bought a small house in the neighborhood in which I had rented for 7 years and had been raising children in for 4, so am very lucky. But that “you don’t have a right to stay in your neighborhood” person is so bitter and lame and always pipes up when someone bemoans the fact that they can’t find anything in a neighborhood they’ve lived in for years. She is a bitter person who got priced out of Chelsea so berates everyone else who wants to stay in their neighborhood.

I hate that “god given right person.” frankly, fuck you. Where do you come from? In the past, NYC people of all classes could live in Manhattan, let a lone in a far out neighborhood of Brooklyn like PS. The fact that the rich of our society have become SO much richer than middle class that the middle class are priced out of Manhattan all together and increasingly out of most desirable locations in Brooklyn is NOT a sign of a healthy society, it’s a sign of the decline of a screwed up society with vast and unhealthy inequities in wealth. People have EVERY right to complain that they can’t afford a three bedroom in a neighborhood where they have established roots, and frankly, that was probably a compromise to live in in the first place.
Hey Eleanor–sorry, I mean 7:02–how is it that you’re not lonely if you have the time to read all the comments and make your own contribution to this pool of lonliness? At 7:02, you should be primping for work at your fulfilling job our scooting your genius level kids off to school–not worrying about all us darkened basement put down artists. But you’re not. Because you are one of us. Welcome. Please leave a contribution for the keg.
