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?

6:06, you can still get drugs in brooklyn.
Seems like there are lots of OTBKB devotees trolling Brownstoner. It might even be Louise herself.
Who is OTBKB and Louise?
5:08, it’s the company reminds all those city slickers who come from Manhattan that you can run back… but you cannot hide.
I do identify with that article in NY although I grew up in Manhattan. Manhattan has charms brooklyn never will. Sadly, it is simply unaffordable. And Brooklyn has different charms that can’t be found in Manhattan. Mostly for raising children. But ahhh, how I miss central park.
Thank G_d Bucks County will be taking that preposterous caricature Van Meter and not the BK.
4:55: Hilarious!
Jonathan van meter article interesting — but I don’t really identify. It seems like he’s in pursuit of something to do with his youth. Other people (younger than me) will have the same feelings about Williamsburg in its heyday or whereever. I don’t really care.
5:12 – Have you ever done a renovation? The house must be at least 3500 square feet. High end renovation costs today are in the $300 per sq ft range. Easy to spend a million.
Ah, Park Slope:
