A severely termite damaged three-family row house at 463 Carroll Street in Gowanus is getting a major revamp after selling at a big discount last year. Opera Studio is redesigning the house, which is getting new front and rear facades, a complete interior gut and a reconfiguration to a one-family home. The three-story house between Nevins and 3rd Avenue was a HOTD in January of last year, when it was asking $849,000.

It had originally hit the market for $1,100,000 in October 2011, went into contract, and was relisted at $999,000 when the sale didn’t go through. The ask was lowered to $849,000 after a couple months on the market, and the house finally sold in September 2012 for $600,000. We called it an “interesting fixer-upper” back then. However, the seller specified “cash transactions only,” and a DOB violation from 2011 said the exterior walls had severe termite damage and large cracks. The new design looks nice and modern, brightening up the house. Corcoran is already marketing it for $2,649,000.
