Condo of the Day: 280 Carlton Avenue, #3

The brick townhouse at 280 Carlton Avenue in Fort Greene was converted into condos back in 2005 and Unit #3 sold in early 2006 for somewhere under $600,000. The 750-square-foot floor-through has just gone back on the market asking $679,000. The interiors look perfectly nice but the kicker is definitely the 400-square-foot terrace at the rear. The combined monthly charges are also low at $381. Like it?

The living room looks nice. And I still want private outdoor space even with a nice park nearby. But curious that there’s no picture of the kitchen since it’s new. Also, yes, very cramped as a two bedroom. Price too high.
679k is way off base for this tiny unit. Also note there are no pictures of the kitchen or bathroom which is a sign that it is bad in there. The deck is the only thing going for it but we have Fort Green Park so why on earth would I spend 679K on a deck? To live in a tiny little space on a noisy corner in front of a school.
Re 353A 14 St (per 11217) – I saw this house and it is much smaller in person than those pix make it seem. Plus I think there’s something possibly fishy about the way the renovation is clearly being abandoned. From doing a bit of research, it seems the owner, an architect, has had some violations in his practice (and I believe someone on the forum complained about him once), which would make me nervous as a buyer if he did or oversaw these renovations, which I believe is the case.
Yes, Broker Lee Solomon is a real winner… The picture now completely is at odds with the floorplan. Also, that brownstone is right across from a school and main playground. gets very loud in the summer and after school
Hey, they took down the questioned photo.
Very shallow building I guess! I live in a brownstone floorthrough and our rooms, front and back, are much deeper.
The two closet-sized bedrooms, no photos of the kitchen, the outdated photos of the living room. It is such a weird listing that it makes me suspicious that there is something very shady going on. I would avoid this. It seems unusually deceptive and just plain odd.
Mystery solved. It must have been taken in a previous incarnation. The back porch now has wooden railings, but you can see the white metal poles behind it. In the white living room pic, looking out the windows one can make out those white metal porch rails. Also, I’m assuming that new owners took out a wall that used to close off the kitchen and opened it up. Done. Whew!
Both pictures are of the living room. But, you should be able to see the kitchen in the white picture, but its not there. Strange… Anyways, the apartmenbt is small. Maybe 700 SF. Unless you plan to be on the deck all winter long, I dont know who can live with such small BRs. The price is like Crazy Eddie – insane.
