There’s a little more exposed brick than we’d like to see and the bathroom’s a little cheesy, but otherwise this smallish house at 17 1st Street in Gowanus (or Carroll Gardens, depending on who you ask) has a nice feel to it, especially for a house in this neighborhood that’s been in the same hands for a long time. (We like the exposed wood beams on the garden level, for example, and the upper floors have their fireplaces and moldings intact.) The asking price of $1,249,000 looks good at first glance, but remember that the house is 16 feet wide and less than 2,000 square feet in total. Thoughts?
