Condo of the Day: 177 Union Street
Sales have recently started on this converted Carroll Gardens brownstone, and although the listings promise old world charm with all the modern conveniences, the asking prices seem a little dear. The building’s biggest space, a 2,000-square-foot duplex, is going for $1.8 million, or $900 a foot, while the three smaller units are both asking around…
Sales have recently started on this converted Carroll Gardens brownstone, and although the listings promise old world charm with all the modern conveniences, the asking prices seem a little dear. The building’s biggest space, a 2,000-square-foot duplex, is going for $1.8 million, or $900 a foot, while the three smaller units are both asking around $1,000 a foot. We asked the broker selling the condos what buildings they looked to for comps, and she pointed to 240 Carroll Street, a conversion that did brisk business about a year ago—and was priced a heck of a lot cheaper (units there topped out at $800 a foot). The 177 Union listings don’t include interior shots, so it’s hard to gauge whether top-shelf renovations back up the lofty, new construction-esque prices. Think there’s a shot these’ll sell anywhere close to asking?

I DONT KNOW IF ANYONE HAS SEEN THIS PLACE THESE ARE THE BEST CONDO’S THAT I HAVE SEEN HIGH CIELING’S GREAT WOOD WORK AND A LOT OF CHARM I THINK THE CONTRACTOR DID A GREAT JOB
Price: According to the link provided the duplex (assumption) at 240 Carroll sold for 1,680,000. The ask for the dulpex on President is $1,800,000 not much of an increase if the seller wants room to negotiate. Not sure why this is suprising to anyone.
Interior: Saw the place this weekend and the finishes and space seem nice to me (especially in light of some of the garbage that get built in the neighborhood, see Scarano’s messes on Columbia Street); exposed brick, crown moldings, working fireplaces, high quality woodwork. The ceilings are all either standard heights or higher, so not sure where the low ceilings comment comes from either.
Location: Decent, between Henry and Hicks close to the BQE but who cares? So is everything in Downtown.
Picture: Would a buyer actually not look at the outide of the building they wanted to buy in? No one is that dumb.
Why all the vitriole?
I think the condos are well done and the finishes are actually quite nice. All appliances are Jenn-Air and there are unusual touches such as walnut floors instead of the usual oak, etc. It’s not priced for everyone, but reflects recent prices in the neighborhood.
Yay for balloons!
