If last Wednesday’s small brick house on Bergen Street in Park Slope was overpriced at $2.15 million, this place in Carroll Gardens (barely) is a joke. It also makes the Clinton Hill carriage house we discussed last Monday look like a bargain. Though marketed as a carriage house, this building which is asking an astounding $1.995 million, retains none of the charm that one would accompany such a description. Besides a solid looking old cornice, just about all original detail appears to have been purged, with a rather unappealing contemporary aesthetic put in its place. The listing says that there are some buildable air rights, which just might give you enough height to watch the traffic go by on the nearby Gowanus Expressway. Get real.
