Pardon Me for Asking spotted a great advertisement Channel 4 spot from a program called “Open House TV” that features 45 3rd Place, aka the Carroll Gardens Atrocity aka the Carroll Gardens Bastard aka the Carroll Gardens Tumor Building. In the program, above, a current resident of Carroll Gardens is looking for a bigger pad in the neighborhood, and she almost does cartwheels while touring a unit at 45 3rd (sample quotes: “beautiful, beautiful”; “the angels are singing!”; “it’s everything I want!”). (FYI, they’re now trying to sell the two duplexes as a single residence.) PMFA has the following commentary on the show: “Obviously, she did not buy the place, otherwise, it wouldn’t be on the market anymore…Pardon me for asking, but why did they need a car to go from one place to the other? The distance from Ms. Stewart’s house and the two condos is ridiculously close. What a waste of gasoline.” You know, when the angels are singing, it’s tough to worry about the little stuff, like gas usage.

I am the one who doesn’t find the exterior of this building SO atrocious, but I have to say the interiors are FAR more horrible than they seemed in the photos. Completely awkward layout with cramped kitchen, small bedrooms – really a terrible deal for the money. No wonder these aren’t selling. That woman is truly the most annoying person I have ever seen. She was obviously VERY nervous, and thought was coming across as a big, lively TV personality, when in fact she comes across as an abolute nimrod.
Is her place 31 1st place? There’s three units for sale there – wonder if there’s any particular reason they’re all getting out.
Place does look good inside and the front is Beautiful. This should have been posted weeks ago wake up.
Where does one find a woman who does housework in a black dress?
Forget it, I don’t want to know.
Wow, NBC should win an editing award for all the contortions they had to go through to eliminate the crapitude of this house from view.
If she acts like that to a broker, imagine the love she’s giving to her dry cleaner.
She really does live on 1st place. I went to an open house for her apartment in February, which has been on the market since the fall and is still on the market. I’ve also seen her on that street yelling about her house not selling. It’s a lovely apartment by the way. Her broker for the sale at the time (she’s switched)is the same one for 45 3rd so perhaps that is why she was chosen to go on the show (promote two of the same broker’s listings).
I watch Open House NYC on Sunday mornings and to my recollection, I don’t think that anyone has ever purchased anything they’ve been shown. It does seem fake…now that I think of it.
this is faker than the moon landing.
I have always found that the best bargaining stategy for a potential buyer is to praise a property effusively and to prostrate oneself at the feet of the seller’s broker.
