This brownstone at 230 Union Street in Carroll Gardens just hit the market as a For Sale By Owner listing with an asking price of $2,495,000. After checking out the photos, that price seems aggressive to us for a four-family house that looks like it’s had a couple rounds of renovations in the last forty years that have succeeded in destroying much of the house’s original charm. What we’re left with now is a 1970’s-looking kitchen and a bunch of new doors with Home Depot-like pedigree. That’s not to say that the house isn’t in fine shape (which it is) or that the location is not a big plus (cuz it’s great), just that the asking price is a lot for a house that most people who can afford that number will want to totally redo. Oh, and it’s only 17 feet wide.

corcoran has listing for 4family used as 3…looks really nice in pictures on Union for 100k less and larger house.
Sebb, what’s been going on?
thedude – actually bought another brownstone then in cobble hill that was on a better street and renovated. much better deal.
My Boerum Hill house is worth 5x what I paid for it in 1997. Just saying. But the ask for this house seems delusional.
sebb, you think they will get this ask?
I really think you guys have not been paying attention to whats going on lately.
The only thing very good here is the location. The house itself like MrB points out is very narrow, very cheaply renovated, and overpriced by at least $700K min!
Eh, not 1.5. That’s too low. But this is at least 500K too high.
yeah… crack pipe.
Price needs right-sizing
