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?

The front house may well have had a drive-through opening that allowed carriages to the rear house. On properties like that the original architecture can only be seen in the basement ceiling beams as the changes over the years have wiped the front and rear facades clear.
Have been in. Serious structural problems, it’s a complete teardown.
Oh… Mid-1’s means Millions… I saw the picture and that’s not what came to mind.
Nokilissa, look at the bright side, IT’S THE CHANCE OF A LIFETIME!!!
Holy Batman! 1.5 MILLION dollars for a fire-damaged, storm-damaged, facade-less, antique farm house, devoid of any and all interior detail, that has clearly not been loved or looked after for years, in Carroll Gardens? I would seriously think this place might get, reasonably, 500k for the lot or the necessary funds to gut renovate the place.
Wow! What comments!
Here’s the real deal. The 2 buildings are on a 24’x100′ lot, a very sought after commodity in this neighborhood, where wide townhouses can approach and eclipse the 3 million dollar level.
You can have up to 4,800 sq ft on that lot.
Both buildings are salvageable, and having that 2nd building for a guest house/office/studio/workshop, is extremely rare.
Scoff if you like, but someone is going to buy this for a tad under 1.5m, put a million into it and for under 2.5m have one of the most unique and grand homes in the neighborhood.
If you would like to have a look, give me a call.
Thanks,

Nice one, Fjorder.
Awesome Taj Mahal-esque dining room!
I think this building is hellah early, at least 1850s, if not before, due to the slope of the roof and those belly windows on the third floor. It has lost all its detail, and if what other posters say about the fire is true, then the facade reconstruction is poor, indeed.
That’s just the tip of the iceburg, in terms of problems. Does anyone else see a major bow in the roof ridge of the first photo?
