House of the Day: 28 2nd Place

28-2nd-Place-0708.jpg
This brownstone at 28 2nd Place in Carroll Gardens is a bit unusual. It’s 34 feet (and four windows) wide, double the width of many houses. As a result, the three-story house is almost 5,000 square feet and has another 3,300 square feet of air rights. From the looks of the exterior, this’ll need some work. The asking price of $3,900,000 suggests the seller thinks the likely buyer is a developer who will slap some ugly addition onto the roof. Hopefully, any such developer will remember the lesson of the Carroll Gardens atrocity on 3rd Place before heading down such a path.
