The Sherry Netherland, #18FL (Sotheby's International Realty)
Statistics have shown that triple-mint, turn-key apartments are going fast in New York, while homes in need of work tend to linger on the market. It's true that renovating an apartment is a daunting endeavor at the best of times, and supply chain woes and labor shortages have made it especially challenging in recent times. However, months of lockdown have had people working, learning, relaxing, and exercising from home; in doing so, they have been forced to adapt their apartments to accommodate the various activities. A renovation can serve as a golden opportunity to carve out designated space as opposed to cramming oneself into the kitchen or a bedroom corner.
Of the 348 listings that experienced price reductions last week, a number of them were apartments in prewar buildings with generous square footage and original architectural details, but outdated infrastructure and/or interiors. They truly don't make them like they used to, and these diamonds in the rough have the potential to become true gems in the hands of a creative owner and a good architect. A full, sortable chart of the past week's price cuts may be found below.

3 Riverside Drive, #TH (Douglas Elliman)
From the Listing: Three Riverside Drive, erected in 1895, is one of the most important historic homes still standing on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. This 37-foot wide, ornate limestone mansion was designed by C.P.H. Gilbert - the same architect who produced many other New York City landmarks, including the Woolworth Tower.
For a time, 3 Riverside Drive was the residence of William Guggenheim, an iconic New York magnate. Purchased by the current owners in 2017, the house has been reimagined as a modern home on the inside with a historic outside fully preserved. Most unusually, the home has been designed with an unprecedented suite of amenities normally found in a large, full-service building including: a large swimming pool, partial basketball court, spa, gym, stadium seating movie theatre and game room. To make space for these amenities, a now complete, extremely costly, four year 36-foot deep excavation through solid bedrock was undertaken, adding nearly 6,000 square feet and three stories below grade to the already enormous 12,000 square feet, 6 stories above grade. See floor plan and full details here.
