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 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?

I can’t make sense of the pictures and that floor plan. They don’t match up. Did the middle picture at one time represent the two bedrooms as one?
maly, 2006 was crazy in ft/ch. There was lots of turnover in my 12 unit bldg then and I couldn’t believe what people were getting.
size queens, all of you!

Cast iron baseboards,I thought they look different, nice touch. 680K is still a chunk of change that they’ll never see.
It is not by any stretch 750sf. Even if you count the walls and the stairwell, you’re looking at 700sf. Looking at habitable space, inside your own walls, the apartment is maybe 625sf if one feels generous. I can’t believe it sold for $600,000, that’s really amazing.
In order for this unit to be USABLE, you would need to combine the two miniscule bedrooms into one.
That would result in a perfectly nice one-bedroom with a very nice deck. The maintenance charge is very good. But I can’t comment on the going price of one bedroom apartments on Carlton Avenue. I doubt it is $679 as one could buy large one bedrooms for that price in Brooklyn Heights.
I am constantly amazed by the sub-par rooms in some of these units. As I have said before, the city could never get away with it in low-income housing but the rich are perfectly willing to pay for a bedroom that is seven feet by nine feet. Well, if there are folks out there dumb enpough to buy, someone will be smart enough to sell.
> That’s a glorified 1 bedroom.
Only with not very much glory. I love the deck, but those bedrooms are tiny. My one bedroom is far more spacious than this rabbit hutch.
this was a nice smallish 1BR that someone decided to turn into a dorm-style share by throwing up a wall to make two ridiculously small bedrooms. does the 750sqft include the outdoor space?
