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?

Open house today…WITH BALLOONS!
All gut, no reno.
This is not between Smith and Court. It is between Henry and Hicks, closer to Hicks. It’s the block with the police precinct and LOVE THY PET! The BQE does have an effect if you are within a block of it. More than a block away and you do not hear it. This is great neighborhood, but far from the most charming block. A question: Do people like it when all the interior room divisions are removed and turned into a big loft space? I’ve seen some nice slick remodels, but this one looks like the charm was removed–if there was any left–and now it’s kind of boring.
Looks like a standard width brownstone in all the photos. Perhaps you were peeking into the house whose facade the listing appears to be “borrowing.”
Love the area Carroll Gardens is great
by the way – I’ve peeked in here – the building next to it has been joined to the brownstone so these apts will be super wide. Not saying they will be nice, but probably bigger than they appear from front of brownstone.
Price is riduculous as it is clear some cheeseball is doing the lowball reno. However, not understanding problems with location – this is a fab location. Other than the fact that is is not a beautiful block, it couldn’t be a better brooklyn neighb. What is that person talking about that’s it’s steps from the BQE – so is everywhere in cobble hill, Carroll gardens and brooklyn heights. Since when did that effect prices? And i’m not talking about right on the bqe. this is btw smith and court…
Woohoo, definitely close enough to the BQE to hear the rattle and drone.
“the asking prices seem a little dear”
That’s an understatement!
