Everyone knows we’re a sucker for a FSBO listing, so no surprise that we’re taking a look at this one at 306 Union Street in Carroll Gardens. The four-story brick house has 3,900 square feet above grade and another 800-square-foot English basement. It’s currently configured as a four-family and looks to us to be in decent shape–though some of the kitchens and bathrooms leave us feeling a little limp, though if you’re going to convert to a one- or two-family, most of those will get ripped out anyway. (See for yourself at the open house on Sunday from 2-4.) The current owners did a lot of work on the place when they bought several years ago–including restoring the parquet floors (our favorite from the photos) and tin ceilings. The owners’ favorite detail? The original crown moldings. The location–a block from the trains and restaurants–is appealing as well. Given that this place will most likely need some dough plowed into it (whether to improve some of the finishes and fixtures or to change the configuration), the $2.2 million ask may be a bit of a stretch, but it is a 22-footer in an increasingly desirable area, so who knows. How do people think this stacks up against Monday’s HOTD on Dean Street?
