Open houses today on UWS (01/18)

I went to see 311 West 75th (price chopped from 7.9m to 5.9m this week). Very large townhouse with some great intact details - fantastic woodwork on stairs and walls, most fireplaces, but missing most of the original floors. Estate, needs a lot of work. Has a working elevator. If it were me, I'd probably use the top 3 floors and rent out the bottom 2. This would be great for someone who needs all this space (well over 5000 sqft, agent says 7600) and has the time to figure out how best to use it. The price is attractive and of course, very negotiable as the executors just want to close.
