Condos of the Day: No Buyers for 45 Third Place

Justice continues to prevail in the case of the Carroll Gardens Atrocity. The addition is now complete and both the upper and lower duplexes, listed for $1,555,000 and $1,595,000 respectively, continue to sit on the market. If it weren’t for the butchery of the exterior and complete disregard for the community on the part of the developer, these things might be doing a little better, as the interiors look decent. Could it be that potential buyers are afraid of the social shunning that could happen if they vote with their wallets in favor of this place?

taxes are ridiculous! is that the yearly maybe? is that a mistake? does the maintenance include utilities? very strange.
There are ways to do this kind of thing properly. This isn’t it.
There are better ways to add on
and still be in context of the home’s history. This is not one of them.
Brown Harris Stevens usually has
better taste and quality.
They need to rethink their goals if
they still want to be respected.
1:28 I agree with you. I know that overall, Brooklyn is doing nicely with these houses, but this one is just heartbreaking…
I ,too ,don’t think it looks that bad.
It’s certainly honest!

Saw the inside a few months ago during an open house. Poor reno quality with awful black floors already warping badly. Also, bedrooms are small and cut up very oddly.
GHB, cut the hysteria. There are very few brownstones being destroyed in Brooklyn compared to what has happened to historic houses in many other cities in the country. The preservationists have done a pretty good job, here in Brooklyn. But they can’t win out every time, that’s just the reality.
For me, the problem or offense is not that they altered or added onto the existing structure but that they did it so badly. NO imagination, no creativity, no taste. Any one of we lay people could have done a better job designing this extension. Who was the architect?
I don’t think the building looks that bad as I walk by it everyday as well. I do agree that the prices, maintenance and taxes are insane. Thats the biggest reason why it’s not selling.
