Co-op of the Day: 806 Carroll Street, #2 (Revisited)
There’s no arguing with the beauty of this parlor floor co-op at 806 Carroll Street in Park Slope. We virtually drooled over the kingly one-bedroom pad when when featured it as a House of the Day in February 2008. Back then it was asking $1,195,000.

There’s no arguing with the beauty of this parlor floor co-op at 806 Carroll Street in Park Slope. We virtually drooled over the kingly one-bedroom pad when when featured it as a House of the Day in February 2008. Back then it was asking $1,195,000. The owner must not be particularly desperate to sell because fifteen months later the price has only been trimmed to $1,150,000. A lot of dough, but at least the maintenance is a mere $850 per month.

Try walking down this street from Prospect Park West. It is one of the nicest blocks in the Slope. It costs to live here. There is an option for another bedroom and there is light from the side — not so many of those for sale. It is close to Seventh Ave shopping. The interior is beautiful. I have lived near here but not on this street.
I’ve seen Rob doing his laundry in the Slope. He’s the one sitting in the laundromat in just his shorts. But I do wish he’d take his nipple piercings out before putting his t-shirt in with the load.
CG, you are right. The price really does seem outlandish, even if you were, say, Devendra Banhart, and needed a lavish Victorian spread for one person with little upkeep and no commitment.
Mopar – I think you are right. I think it was on Dikeman street and sold over 900K – it was gorgeous
I don’t think that house DH sent the link to is worth 1.179
but you could prob get it for 200K less than asking
I love RH but again I have a car. The whole area on Van Brunt and all the little streets leading to the water are very safe and quiet, albeit even a bit desolate.
Am I missing something or is Corcoran the only one with the mortgage / total monthly cost calculator on its website? So putting down a whopping $240,000 down payment (20%), the mortgage is over $6k and the total payment is almost 7k with the maintenance? For a 1BR? Honestly, it makes me sick. I pay about 1/3 of that for a decent (granted it’s not luxury by any stretch) in Carroll Gardens. I mean, what would this place rent for? Ugh.
Okay, now this thread has migrated to washer/dryers and dishwashers.
I would take in-house washing over dishwashing any day. Once you’ve had in-house washing, it’s hard to go back.
Dishwashers on the other hand I really don’t get. My London house came with a dishwasher and I’ve used it once (just for the novelty factor). It takes a couple of minutes more to do it by hand and I don’t have to worry about anything breaking down or leaking.
I think so Mopar – I was trying to find it in the archives but couldn’t.
Didn’t Babs Corcoran buy a house on Van Brunt 5 years ago?
Wasn’t there some gorgeous Red Hook house that sold for $900,000 or so on this site just a week or so ago?
“DH, Red Hook house is very cute. And small. Love the yellow bedroom wallpaper. But the price! I guess that’s what they go for these days in RH. I want to see photos of the parlor, kitchen, and baths.”
Yeah – it sure is tiny now that I look at the floorplan. Not really sure about comps – and I find it suspicious there are no exterior photos of the facade.
I feel like every house I’ve seen listings for in Red Hook haven’t been below 900K.
Regarding sketchiness – FWIW i went to a bar two blocks away in the winter (Botanica) – and I wouldn’t say it’s sketchy down there, but it’s definitely quiet.
