Both of these houses on St. Marks Place between Carlton and 6th seem pricey to us, but the one on the left (#126, we think) seems like a relative bargain at $2.3 million when lined up against the $2.99 million asking price of the one on the right (#144). The $2.3 million 2-family house is quite lovely inside, with oodles of walnut paneling and origingal plaster moldings; were it on the other side of the tracks (Flatbush, that is) it would seem attractively priced to us. Regardless, it’s a beautiful place that someone may fall in love with and buy for close to the ask. Number 144, however, is a complete joke: $2.99 million for a house that’s chopped up into 8 co-op apartments (which, we gather, are also on the market at the same time); add to this the fact that the property needs a significant amount of work. What are they thinking?
