Carroll Gardens “Bastardization” Hits Market

When we wrote about 45 3rd Place last Spring as it was still under construction, we had this to say: “The addition to this house has to be one of the greatest bastardizations of a beautiful old brownstone we’ve ever seen.” (Click on the link below to see the photo from last April.) While some readers leapt to its defense, others chimed in with such comments as “jaw-droppingly horrendous” and “cancerous growth”. Now the sucker is on the market. It appears to have been divided into two units, both two floors and approximately 2,000 square feet. They share the parking garage that sits were the garden once was. The lower unit is asking $1.45 million and interested parties as well as architectural critics can check it out at the open house on Sunday from 12 to 2 o’clock.
