House of the Day: 371 Carlton Avenue
Guess it’s not all champagne and bidding wars in Brownstone Brooklyn these days. After about five weeks on the market at $1,895,000, the bricktownhouse at 371 Carlton Avenue has received more than a 10 percent price cut to $1,690,000. Before everyone leaps into hysterics and declares the sky is falling, however, it’s important to note…
Guess it’s not all champagne and bidding wars in Brownstone Brooklyn these days. After about five weeks on the market at $1,895,000, the bricktownhouse at 371 Carlton Avenue has received more than a 10 percent price cut to $1,690,000. Before everyone leaps into hysterics and declares the sky is falling, however, it’s important to note that this is not your standard Fort Greene brownstone. It lacks the grandeur that full stoop brings (though, to a family with small children, this could be seen as a big bonus) and it’s only three real floors of living space; it’s also a three-family, so it doesn’t fit the profile of the most common house hunter. While the interior has lost some of its moldings, the fireplaces and woodwork is intact and the house appears to be in very good overall condition. This big cut should stir up interest, we’d think.
In related news, did anyone else notice that 387 Hancock (discussed here) is back in contract?

Yes, AY is going to eat my first-born…
If it wasn’t for AY, I would’ve won the $370 million Mega Millions.
AY is coming and all the rats, mice, stay cats and pigeons are fleeing the surrounding area.
“The boiler may even need to be replaced as the basement is a disaster.”
Is this REALLY a concern for someone who can afford to pay almost two million dollars for a home? Sheesh.
“4:10…Are you a renter?”
You’ll wish you’d been a renter before this is through. That’s why you people have such freaking thin skins. You know the shit’s about to hit the fan. That’s why more people in your nabes are trying to dump properties now. Waiting till later will mean taking a big, big hit.
Do yourself a favor.
Call a broker.
I’m also looking forward to the first category 5 hurricane to score a direct hit on NYC. Despite all the naysayers, I think it’ll be great for the city and especially for Brooklyn. We have a bright and scintillating future ahead of us. Just keep your eyes on those stars!!!!
“Your argument is banal and facile…”
LOL. If you say this ten more times, with conviction, then you might actually begin to believe it.
I’m actually looking forward to AY. I think it will be great for the surrounding nabes and Brooklyn in general.
the problem with this place is that the behemoth is hovering over you if you happen to be outside. jerry made sure to schedule the open houses late afternoon, in the brief moment that the sun wasn’t hidden behind the giant silver slab.
