House of the Day: 344 Carlton Avenue
Today’s listing at 344 Carlton Avenue in Fort Greene is a good example of how to do a listing right: Plenty of well-photographed photos, a floorplan and a comprehensive description.

Today’s listing at 344 Carlton Avenue in Fort Greene is a good example of how to do a listing right: Plenty of well-photographed photos, a floorplan and a comprehensive description. Pretty simple but some brokers still are too lazy or incompetent to do it. Of course, it helps when you have a good product to pitch, which is certainly the case with this five-story, two-family brownstone at the epicenter of Fort Greene. Will it fetch the asking price of $2,500,000? Hard to say, but it’ll certainly get close to that. It’s in beautiful shape with tons of historic character with tasteful touches of modern convenience. (We like the kitchen, for example.) There’ve been no takers since it hit the market a couple of weeks ago. Have any readers checked it out?

Love it and worth the money. Never thought much of FG but this house would tempt me to move.
do YOU live in one of the finest homes in the area, 8:52?? you do realize that finest in the area is subjective, or are you that ignorant?
kinda sad when you can tell what a bitter soul someone is from 3 sentences on a blog about real estate. talking shit about a house that’s probably already sold.
This is not one of the finest homes in this area. It’s perfectly nice, but not one of the finest. Guess superlatives sell help sell these things though.
Atlantic Yards will mean a sports arena and more traffic, but you won’t notice unless you live on Flatbush Avenue. Also there will be more parking lots and parking garages in the area. There will be lots of new big high rises populated mostly by people who make more money than the people who have up until now wanted to live in the area. There will probably also be more hotels, sports bars, chain stores and crowds. But really, it’ll be like living in a nice brownstone in chelsea and having madison square garden 10 blocks away…
How wide is this house? Is it just a 20′ home? I can never figure these things out by looking at the floorplans.
Would someone mind ranting a little bit about what the supposed Atlantic Yards effect could mean for prime Ft. Greene? In contrac on a house around the corner….
Would love to see this place get 2.8 M so the AYE bozo can begin to understand what “effect” AY is actually having (if any) on this particular part of brooklyn.
Gorgeous looking house, though I’m wondering what the width is. If it’s true what someone posted about several bids over the ask, I predict 2.6. More than that would be a stretch IMHO.
The 4:51 poster who keeps writing ATLANTIC YARDS EFFECT on every thread, you are not swaying anyone’s opinion.
Ft. Greene’s prices will continue to climb. It is what it is, sorry buddy.
