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?

  1. 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.

  2. 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?

  3. 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.
