House of the Day: 383 3rd Street
While not as jaw-dropping as last Thursday’s House of the Day at 651 3rd Street, today’s house at 383 3rd Street is still nothing to sniff at. The 22-footer has lots of original detail, including some sweet plaster moldings on the parlor floor. The kitchen in the owner’s triplex looks so-so, but the bathroom looks…
While not as jaw-dropping as last Thursday’s House of the Day at 651 3rd Street, today’s house at 383 3rd Street is still nothing to sniff at. The 22-footer has lots of original detail, including some sweet plaster moldings on the parlor floor. The kitchen in the owner’s triplex looks so-so, but the bathroom looks nice to us. With $2,000 a month from rent on the ground-floor apartment, do you think the asking price of $2,695,000? Seems overpriced by 10 percent or so to us.

“the gratuitous meanness is always a bummer on this blog”
you are SO right, 7:52.
7:42 – why the hostility? Prices have been kept high by lack of inventory which has been very low in prime neighborhoods, so I see no reason to chew someone out for pointing out that’s changing. And many people have said NYC is immune, but maybe it’s not. Anyway, prices are certainly still very high, so sellers should feel fine selling. And hopefully there can be more transactions if indeed prices become a bit more affordable (while still way beyond what most sellers originally paid, and thus still a good deal for them). All to say that we probably don’t disagree – but the gratuitous meanness is always a bummer on this blog.
yup, there is probably going to be some more inventory, 7:38. have you by any chance heard what’s going on in the rest of the united states or did you think we literally would feel nothing here?
or are you trying to start something? it’s so silly to make these comments as if you are bringing something new to the table.
yes, inventory is rising. everywhere. it’s not the end of the world. people are still buying homes. not as often as they used to. and not at the same insane prices. these are all good things.
ride it out and find a new hobby in the meantime.
Interesting how there suddenly are all these homes for sale on 3rd Street. Is this the first sign of an uptick of house inventory? Seems the apt uptick has been going on for a while…
$2ml plus and no granite countetops and a white frikkin stove?
Most brownstones I’ve seen which house rent controlled tenants usually look like a shell, so perhaps it’s both??
5:08 – You are correct. I heard about the BHS expansion a year ago and then nothing happened. In the last month though, that place that was next to it, Score moved down, the signage was replaced with a large BHS sign that covers both it’s original spot and the newly expanded spot and I saw workmen in there last week. Seems it is finally happening for real.
That’s the building owned by that character Nicholas Kotsonis who says it “pays” to keep stores vacant. Not my idea of a landlord looking out for the neighborhood, but I digress.
How does this house compare to 318 1st street? 1st street house is priced lower, but smaller.
A shell or rent controlled tenants? Which one was it? Maybe it was haunted, maybe it was just a good deal.
