Conversion of 185 Huntington Nearing Completion

Here’s a small ray of light. The conversion of 185 Huntington Street in Carroll Gardens won’t be completed for another several weeks and already two out of the five floor-through units are in contract. Why? We’ve heard the finishes are very nice and, because of the rear addition, the layouts are much more generous than your typical townhouse condos. The remaining units are $795,000, $695,000 and $675,000. Anyone checked these places out?

I think the building is very nice, and good layouts and quality construction. My only concern would be the environmental safety of the location. The building is down the block from a brownfield, and the City currently has plans underway to clean up the contaminated site. Has anyone heard anything about the environmental condition of this part of Carroll Gardens? Any increased rates of cancer in that area that anyone knows of?
LPC is irrelevant here. This block will never be landmarked.
“A small ray of light” is apt… this is one of the darkest blocks in all of South Bklyn, on even the brightest of days.
That top floor addition is beyond fugly. What is that? Some modern warehouse surplus panels? Easy to see why LPC is so vital. With all the work and effort placed into doing those windows and the nice finishes this is all the Architect can muster for a top floor addition? Is it that difficult to do a mansard roof type addition or some closeness of it? We realize taste can be personal but that addition just makes the whole of homes an eyesore….
this is actually a stones throw from buttermilk channel restaurant…2 blocks away from frankies. from the outside they look like they’re doing a nice job. they kept the look with those windows with the curved top (must’ve cost a fortune) instead of sqaring them off. They kept the original cornice but moved it up a floor. This house was a carbon copy to the one on the right.

Yuck – why did they put in white windows? THe photo on corcoran has black windows which are SO MUCH NICER!
By the way, shouldn’t things like 15-year tax abatement come with things like “affordable housing” and so on?
Last time I checked, I can’t afford a $4000 mortgage payment… nor can I afford to pay higher sales tax and income tax to subsidize folks with million dollar homes paying $20/mo for taxes!!!!
Jeezus.
Thanks Gravis… that just makes me sad.
