OH Post-Mortem: Price for CG Atrocity a "Fantasy"
Unbeknownst to us, there was an open house at 45 Third Place last weekend, a property we’ve expressed disgust with on several occasions. Luckily, a reader was able to stop by and provides us with his impressions below: Here’s the skinny: 2 units, both duplexes. Upper 2 floors and roof space, $1.55MM. Lower 2 floors…
Unbeknownst to us, there was an open house at 45 Third Place last weekend, a property we’ve expressed disgust with on several occasions. Luckily, a reader was able to stop by and provides us with his impressions below:
Here’s the skinny: 2 units, both duplexes. Upper 2 floors and roof space, $1.55MM. Lower 2 floors and basement, $1.59MM. The two parking garages behind the structure are being offered seperately for $85M each. The upper unit has cathedral ceiling in living room area, and sole access to a large roof space. The lower unit has a basement that smells moldy, will be partly finished and will have W/D. Also, downstairs has a separate door to one bedroom on ground floor which may be used as a home office. The basement, which had that not-so-fresh feeling, will contain a finished rec room, so I believe they are counting basement space in the square footage. In my opinion, the upper was a much better unit than the lower…but the price for either one is a fantasy.
We haven’t seen been by in a couple of months. Can anyone snap a photo for us?

I agree with Carol Gardens. I live in a 2-yr old apartment that would make some “brownstoners” cringe (I love new buildings), but this is just not a welcome addition to the ‘hood.
I also agree with the poster who added the always true “location, location, location” comment. We could come up with a list of properties on the market around our great boro, more space for the same $$$ but this area is where some people want to be. So they’ll pay to make it happen.
Not all of us are silly moralists Ed, but we are all entitled to our opinion. Chill out a bit. Seems like you have an interest in the place maybe?
Ed–Have you seen this up close? It really is ugly. Not everyone who dislikes this particular “update” is super conservative about architecture.
Look – some people are challenged. They can’t think outside the box. The silly moralism going on in this thread has nothing to do w/design. Yawn. Dumb. Makes the whiners look like they deserve Feders because they can’t tell the difference.
Says it is near PS 29, which isn’t true. Plus it’s gotta be zoned for PS 58, which is much closer. It’s closest to PS 146, Brooklyn New School, but that’s a lottery school, so closenesss doesn’t count for anything with admissions there.
It doesn’t have diagonal tile in real life – it has maroon-brown paint
85M? I really really really really hope this is a typo!!!!
I love the fact that it looks like the dark part of the building is humping the red one. Is it just this building, or all of Carroll Gardens that’s getting f*cked doggy style by this development?
fucked that poor building up .
what the hell was this greedy prick thinking ?
this is the type of property that’s gonna sit on the market a long time
I cry too – when I realize that Brooklyn is full of so many narrow, uncreative, conservative whiners!
