This block of 3rd Street between 7th and 8th Avenues is lovely and the houses are priced accordingly.

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).

Guess the market will provide the answer to that one.
