House of the Day: 580 Carlton Avenue
Here’s an interesting one…This 1850s house at 580 Carlton Avenue in Prospect Heights just hit the market with an attention-getting asking price of $499,000. The reason for the low price, first and foremost, has to be the fact that the listings exhorts potential buyers to “Bring your architect and prepare to rebuild.” Translation: The interior…

The reason for the low price, first and foremost, has to be the fact that the listings exhorts potential buyers to “Bring your architect and prepare to rebuild.” Translation: The interior is shot. The house is also on the small side and within a few blocks, but not right on top of, Atlantic Yards. Still, could be an interesting project for the right person!

this really isn’t in the shadow of AY, and either way i think you’d find that the closing prices of recent sales in this immediate vicinity don’t support much of a discount on that basis.
i spoke to the realtor when this was lister at 699K. It is a “complete teardown”. I think it may be in a historic district, too…
Montrose, gotta agree that Carlton is a great street, but I don’t know, this house seems trashed. And if what i_disagree and LincolnSlope say is true, you’re looking at major structural and systems work.
Maybe $250,000 with another $500,000 for all the work it needs. $750,000 isn’t that bad for a house with no remaining historic details that is located within the shadow of AY.
This is a tear down. All of the framing is shot, rot had its way long ago.
lincolnslope, so someone is living in that other house – ie next to a house which is likely moldy given bad water damage?
The place is not just a simple rehab. I think this is a tear down. There is soaked in water damage throughout the property inside. No one has lived in there since the 70s. The owner should sell both properties (he/she owns the neighboring house too) and allow someone to tear them down and make something interesting. Otherwise you have a place no one can live in and can’t be teared down since it is pretty much fused with the neighboring property.
that’s between St. marks & Bergen, like right across the street (caddy-corner) from James restaurant. Not a bad location at all considering that Carlton Avenue will essentially dead-end at Pacific, meaning no through traffic to Atlantic. I think Atlantic Yards project is a minute consideration for potential buyer.
This place has been on the market for quite a while, maybe 4+ months. They might have pulled it off market, but I definitely looked at its listing last fall, maybe late summer.
rebuild a historic house in landmark district, isnt this like mega bucks and a long time to complete it?
$1M to tear down and rebuild? 18 month construction time? pure guesses on my part
