At a Certain Point, Size Does Matter
If anyone can point us to a smaller house in Brooklyn, we’d love to see it. As for this Fillmore listing in Carroll Gardens, $949,000 would seem to be a stretch–we’d be very surprised if this place were more than a thousand square feet. Probably more like 800. Listing #612130 [Fillmore]

949K just blows my mind.
We have a “mini” in Bed-Stuy (3 flrs., 12×45 house on 100ft. lot) Paid 245k in 2002. We knew then that we were lucky. I won’t hold my breath. . . but you just gotta wonder!!!
“charmless” referred to the interior of the house. Call me jaded, but in Brownstone Brooklyn, the exteriors of 90% of the houses look exactly the same (unless they’re been ruined by some faux facade). So, kind of hard to call one more charming than the next. Exception may be some of the rare wood framed homes.
“charmless”?? WOW I am from another planet, then. I was just on this street (which dead ends at gowanus next block) 3 days ago thinking, “I love, LOVE this; its urban pastoral.” People next door did a great-looking job on that garage or whatever it was.
The price, however, is an affront to decency…
check 2 items down – ‘Don’t want no Stinkin’ Bars’
and right – Idea of club opening within earshot wouldn’t help sale.
But thats only my opinion…read the debate on that item.
Anonymous 12:56p,
I must have missed something…what “rumor of a jazz club coming…”?
Also, don’t nightclub establishments actually bring prices down?
Just curious…
Include me in the group that prefers even a small house to an apartment and would pay a premium for it. Problem with this house is that it seem to have zero charm.
Just a comment about the size issue: having grown up in London — where there are streets upon streets of 19th century two-storey terraced houses (most of them less than 42 ft deep), I can attest to the charm of the diminutive. For many people, a very small house is still preferable to an apartment. It’s purely subjective.
I don’t think it is charmless block -but not as charming as WarrenMews.
And not worth over $700sq ft.
But maybe its that rumor of a jazz club coming that will up the price.
I just sold the same size house a few doors from this one for $975K. 2nd St may not be the Mews but charmless it’s not! You can still find children playing outdoors under the watchful eye of parents and neighbors.
