House of the Day: 341 Sackett Street
Okay, so this listing at 341 Sackett Street in Carroll Gardens isn’t exactly easy on the eyes but it does have a few other things going for it: location (between Court and Smith), price (mid-1’s) and a second house in the rear! You gotta assume this will be a complete gut job by whomever buys…

You gotta assume this will be a complete gut job by whomever buys it, in which case some of the, ahem, aesthetic shortcomings don’t really matter. It’s all about the location and the per square foot costs. Does this one add up?

But is this priced fairly for a tear-down? I don’t think one can build very high here.
what is the cost of construction for a new condo? If you buy at $300 per buildable sf, does it leave enough room to build apartments, market them and still make a profit?
Reading the broker’s post, he’s hoping for a rich person with $2.5M in cash who will choose to take this shell on. There are much better houses, already done, at that price point.
I can totally see an alt-2 from the ground up 5-family condo, but the numbers have to make sense to a developer.
Whoops…”some” not “so”. Still wish I could edit a quickly-written post on here!
I hate to say it, but a teardown is likely and a condo will replace it. That kind of thing keeps happening on blocks between Court and Smith. So do it better than others.
24′ wide is the magic number… Tear down… 5 story Omnibuild type cookie cutter condo development in its future.
Looks like 1 million will close the deal.

quite a few houses in this area have rear houses also. doubt a farm house ever.
24′ wide lot. price depends on how much sq footage can rebuild. Don’t have to restore to some other era. Something modern, simple clean, new sells for what around here $750 sq ft?
“create your own private compound”
This is more than a rehab this is a turbohab. A real old-house lover could have a field day. Peeling off the layers, returning the house to an early 19th century look, exposing the timberwork perhaps. But it would be a labor of love, not real estate.
Many houses in Greenwich Village have rear houses. They are handy.
Some are done up as apartments, some as guest houses, etc. Originally they housed servants or the inlaws or teenagers, whatever you don’t want in the house.
hahaha – I agree with Noki!
I wonder if this little abode was someone’s tavern back in the olde days where the ship men would come up from the sea and stumble in there to grab a pint -haaaa
yeah the price is outrageous considering everything and like I said I would’t be surprised about the back house being illegal and that most likely would have to be ripped down
