House of the Day: 241 Sackett Street
The Elliman listing for 241 Sackett Street (the narrow house on the right) in Carroll Gardens has scant details and photos for a house asking $2,200,000. All we’re told on the listing is that it’s a one family with a nice yard—the rest is left up to our imagination (and Property Shark). Perhaps they don’t…
The Elliman listing for 241 Sackett Street (the narrow house on the right) in Carroll Gardens has scant details and photos for a house asking $2,200,000. All we’re told on the listing is that it’s a one family with a nice yard—the rest is left up to our imagination (and Property Shark). Perhaps they don’t want to play up the fact that the house is only 13.5 feet wide. Think they’ll get anywhere close to this? NB: There were no interior photos up yesterday when we wrote this.

First of all, a million condos won’t make townhouses (esp. one like this one) any cheaper. Charm is rare. Authenticity super rare.
“Concerend Resident”: You’re one of those people that a cop friend of mine told me about. Apparently in Dowtown Brooklyn, FG, CH area there are a lot of these phonecalls, increasing exponentially in the last year, about people “loitering” or “congregating” on the street. Usually white people bitching about the black people walking around on their block.
Now I don’t want to start some stupid racial thread again, but this is a funny story: Someone (ostensibly) new to the nieghborhood calls the police because there’s a bunch of black people on the corner. “Ma’am,” says my cop friend, “Is this the corner with the church on it?” “Yes”. “You do realize it’s sunday morning? Is it possible that the peope congregating are a congregation?” “But they’re making all this noise!”
Anyone over twenty writing their thoughts? Yes, many people make lots of money in NY, not many of them are ill informed jerks. The house is too narrow.
The block is homey, but not beautiful.
Who would be that foolish to buy that thing for that price. The broker has priced this thing too high. Less latch
key kids with silly stories.
We sold this house about five years ago for around 584K , check the records. It was the month I sold three houses in distress on the block. Times must be much better. How much? People always come to me to buy, not so much to sell. Doesn’t quite equal out. I sell things for cash in a
few days, for real prices, to real people. I
Don’t believe 12:47, NYPD is one block away and these so called vagrants are people from the neighborhood who don’t have $2M for a house and have lived in the area for a number of years before the gentrification. Just because you hang out on the street doesn’t make you a drug addict.
ATTENTION ATTENTION ATTENTION
whoever buys this house, or considers buying it, should know that this 200 block of sackett street is, unlike the rest of the neighborhood, a drug and quality-of-life HORROR. more toward the henry street side of the block, but most nights even right across the street kids congregate and smoke pot openly seemingly without interference from the nypd and at times are extremely loud and even at times threatening – people have been assaulted on this little block.
so, if you’re about to pay 2plus mil, maybe you could consider this
There are LOTS of other high-paying fields in NYC: Law, medicine, real estate, media execs, advertising, etc etc. And many families with two incomes like that. Still, with all the new condos pouring on the market, it is hard to believe the supply of high-end buyers is endless…
“7:14 How do you like living in Mill Basin.”
Downtown Brooklyn, actually.
10:23, no I wasn’t kidding, I just did not realize a 21 year old out of school starting as an analyst starts out at $150k. I am not familiar with Wall St jobs. Apparently I chose the wrong career!
The idea that stock brokers and their bonuses are driving this market and are the only ones capable and willing to really invest in where they live is patently ridiculous. There are many ways to make a dime and every one of us who owns a building like the one we are discussing has a different story. But I’m sure we would all agree that buying in Brooklyn is a major commitment no matter what our incomes, and plunking down the cash is always a leap of faith.
Still no one has suggested an alternate price with logic attached. I don’t think its steal but this is a strong house in a very strong hood.
