45 Third Place Open House: Yuck!
Pardon Me For Asking checked out an open house at 45 Third Place this weekend, aka “The Carroll Gardens Atrocity.” As you can see from the photos above, the house isn’t all that pretty on the inside, either. The units at 45 Third are listed at $1,555,000 and $1,595,000, and prices haven’t been lowered since it hit the market in September ’06. PMFA asks, “why are they showing the place looking the way it does with all the very obvious flaws?” Good question.

Good to see that the interior of this building is every bit as nice as the exterior ;-)

Typical Delusional sellers/developers thinking they in the market from 2 years ago when buyers would snatch up any pos they dangled in from of them.
What I am actually surprised about is the brokers actually having the stones to show something like this and expect anything to come out of it ecept scorn and wated time.
It doesnt take a genius to figure to figure out buyers at this price point find this kind of crap laughable.

I think Corcoran should try and give it a go. They could get at LEAST 9 mil for it.

MONEY LAUNDERING. There is no other explanation.

When we, on this blog, get down on developers this is why. I'm sure they had hoped that these condos would have sold long before all these flaws showed up. Now the community has to suffer with this ugly POS that can't sell. What would the prices have to drop to in order to sell?

What price would you pay for something ugly that pretty much has to be gutted and redone at the very least? Possibly actually reconstructed?
Or am I missing something? Are these just cosmetic flaws that can be fairly quickly repaired?

Every time I see a picture of this dump, I'm freshly reminded how grateful we are that our hood is landmarked. It's the closest thing you can get to a guarantee that some jackass won't knock down something beautiful and build something stupid. Or, in this case, build something stupid on top of something beautiful.
At this point, the carbuncle is becoming iconic. Maybe it, too, should be landmarked, forever preserved as a hideous cautionary tale. Busloads of school children should be brought to see it.

11:44 maybe I am misreading your comment.
Are you saying the reason we have to endure this eyesore is because of blog culture? I am reading your words as blame the blog.

Posted by: guest at January 21, 2008 12:23 PM
I'll give you $1 for it. Do we have a deal?

"Lightning Season may come earlier this year" 11:59 - you read my mind.
Posted by: guest at January 21, 2008 1:01 PM
Wow - how can they expect anyone to buy this piece of shit? Even at the height of the real estate craziness, this is still appalling.

the insides are nasty from the photos, but i happen to like the extension, how its done.
this shouldn't be a condo. the owners should just sell it as a whole for about 2 million give or take a few hundred thousand.

I noticed this junk heap on a couple different websites with vastly different property taxes and maintenance listed. Wonder what's going on there -- bait and switch on the one listing it for lower? Or, just plain sloppiness on the part of the listing agents? Either way I guess it doesn't matter . . .

has anyone notice all the mortgage money for the house on property shark that sold last year?
is it some type of scam?

The mafia must be desperate to raise cash in this market.

Agreed, since the mob runs at least 1/2 of the CG Brooklyn realty companies.
Why no oe has EVER brought this up is astonishing.

The location and great school is what drives this sale, i think it will sell for 1.4 mill each
Posted by: guest at January 21, 2008 6:57 PM

Sorry, my writing is about as sloppy as this renovation. No, not blaming the blog. Blaming the developers.
