House of the Day: 524 3rd Street
This block of 3rd Street between 7th and 8th Avenues is lovely and the houses are priced accordingly. Last summer, 527 3rd Street sold for $3,225,000 (less than its original list price of $3,400,000). Now the limestone at 524 3rd Street is on the market for $3,200,000.

The interior is probably nicer than the drab photos reveal. There’s nice original detail and the kitchens and bathrooms appear to have been updated recently (as have mechanicals). The house has a total of about 3,700 square feet, but 1/4 of that is virtually subterranean so it’s hard to say whether overall it deserves to be priced at almost $900 a foot. Guess the market will provide the answer to that one.

would you care to expand on that thought 4:10. perhaps explain why you believe it makes no sense.
4:10…find me a comment on this site that makes sense.
4:04: Your comment makes no sense.
Seriously, all this appreciation in housing prices is really a decrease in the value of the dollar. Wait until the dollar starts to rebound in a few years and housing starts tanking.
