45-3rd-pmfa-openhouse-01-2008.jpg
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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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?

  3. 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?
