Since they’ve blocked our links in the past, we can only assume that the folks over at Warren Lewis don’t appreciate our commentary on their listings. Unfortunately, this one isn’t going to improve relations. Now, we’re a sucker for carriage houses–they’re so cute and charming, who can resist? But in our minds, it’s hard to justify pricing them on a par with traditional townhouses. At the $2.15 million asking price, this 3,500-square-foot carriage house, we’d argue, is even more expensive on a per square foot basis than neighboring brownstones. And though we can appreciate the loft-like feel that the larger floorplate offers, we see a little too much recessed lighting and molding-less edges for our taste. That said, the extra-wide landscaped garden is lovely and we think the painted brick interior wall works very well too. But everything at a price and this just feels too high to us.
