Condo of the Day: The Gertrude
A most seeming-virtuous condo has hit the market in Carroll Gardens. The Gertrude, on 2nd Place between Court and Clinton, has a few 3-bedroom, 2-baths running between $899,000 and $999,000 in a converted double-wide townhouse.

A most seeming-virtuous condo has hit the market in Carroll Gardens. The Gertrude, on 2nd Place between Court and Clinton, has a few 3-bedroom, 2-baths running between $899,000 and $999,000 in a converted double-wide townhouse. Awaye Realty, which is selling the units, is touting the condo’s designer kitchens, common roof deck, high ceilings, bay windows and washer/dryers. According to the brokerage’s website, the units are enormous, but the square footage is undisclosed, making it difficult to judge prices on a per-square-foot basis. The interior pics are looking fine if not exactly show stopping, and we wonder whether the million-dollar price ballpark is maybe aiming a bit high for what’s being delivered. Or do we protest too much?

I saw these about a month ago–the conversion seemed to be well done, but lacking in excitement–lots of cherry, marble hotel style bathroom…for a floor of a brownstone, though, they did feel on the bigger than usual side.
I agree with 2:57– I’m not loving the alcove kitchen in the living room bidness. Although there are not a lot of workable ways to turn a brownstone single floor into a good apartment.
saw them also a month ago. I found them unimaginative. high gloss floors and the typical cherry kitchen. I remember one feeling pretty large but at the price them, or the price now, they just didn’t feel worth it.
So this is a four unit condo inside a building with rentals? Sounds like a too-small co-op but lacking any benefits of control that a co-op gives. Meh.
Saw them about 3 weeks ago, when the prices were higher all around. The A line unit was asking over a million at the time (I think around 1.05).
The finishes were very well done, and I really liked the apartments compared to a lot of the other conversions going on in the neighborhood.
Location is pretty good, close but not too close to the train/commercial on Court St.
The developers live on the ground floor units. The other 4 apartments in the building are unconverted rentals.
Three bed room apartments are hard to find in that price range.
I know brokers usually can’t spell but I really would prefer to see “separate room kitchen” or perhaps even “stand alone kitchen”? 😉
How much longer do we think the “kitchen in the living room” style in small apartments will last?
I can see future ads now:
“seperate room kitchen”
Saw these and they are very small – they’ve been on the market for a month or so – can’t imagine they will get their asking – small apts, walkups, etc. They were beautifully renovated though.
