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…

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.

Hahaha. We did just that, 2:45!!
We sold our West End Avenue house last year for 7.8 million (which we bought in ’93 for 400K) and now live happily in Park Slope with zero mortgage and so much free time to enjoy ourselves. Pretty nice.
A family on the UWS could sell their brownstone for 7 million, buy this in cash and never work again.
That’s why you see so many 40 something dads reading the paper at 2pm in Park Slope so often.
Holy moses those photos stink! And on a big listing like this? The fact this broker can’t spring for a professional photographer is shameful. Even better, no floorplan. Most FSBO listings look 100% better than this. Make this broker earn her money, seller. Get on it.
Here are more to add to the list:
-PS 321 guarantees success for the rest of your child’s life. If only you get in there you will have nothing to worry about ever again. Until 6th grade.
-It means you love your family more if you are able to spend $4 million on a house. No decent parent would spend a mere million and in (the horror) a fringe area. So get to work and find a good rate on a jumbo mortgage.
To be serious though, the house is beautiful (what I can see of it through the clutter) and it’s more something somebody coming from Manhattan would buy so they’re probably selling a UWS apartment not taking out a huge mortgage.
Hey 2:11 (First) Dont you think he will jsut post as a guest if he does get banned? Isnt it better to just let him post with his screen name and then jsut ignore it if you dont like it?
Geez, everyone is such a censorship NAZI here. Chill out, you’ll live longer.
He will be a perfect addition to Park Slope.
who said anyone was open minded and liberal?
i don’t recall seeing that anywhere.
Hey 2:14 – If 2:11 wants to say it’ll sell for 2.8, he’s entitled to. I think it’s very open minded and liberal that he took a stand on the price 🙂
2:15 = see 2:03
you guys forgot “THE WHAT”
