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.

the majority of wide townhouses do not have load bearing walls. the walls that create small side rooms are easily removed. the joists in these houses are usually 3″ wide or more and span from brick to brick. the plaster walls that split up spaces do not support the weight of the house. joists that size can easily support weight over 20′-25′ with any columns for support. now a 20′ plus houses opened up is big.
Nice to see they invested in a good wide angle lens. Almost fish-eye, I’d say.
“present market”
so you mean, hot?
i’m confused. looks like everything decent in brownstone brooklyn is selling within weeks to me for close to ask, as or over in many cases.
3:10 you are ignorant of the prices in the neighborhood
Do some research before you spout nonsense
I have a 16 foot house that I love and the layout is just fine. Because the stairs are up the center, there is no space lost to hallways etc. The stairs are steep though.
Totally overpriced for the present market. I would be very surprised it they got anything close to asking.
That is a beautiful brownstone in a great neighborhood and will have no problem getting 2.2 mil.
brownstoner you must not be familiar with the area if you think this will not get ask
when i started looking for a brownstone 4 years ago i told the broker “nothing under 17 ft” – thank god I stumbled upon my beautiful 15 footer by accident – the rooms are indeed wide b/c we have no load baring walls and though our furniture is very large ( see sofa – http://dwr.com/productdetail.cfm?id=4097 ) it fits perfectly – we LOVE it. sure, we dont have the small side room, but our 2100 sq triplex has way more space than we need ( I use one bedroom as a walk in closet) gets tons of light, and the 700 sq garden rental has been occupied by appreciative tenants from the get, who adore it. if you all love those big hallways go to it – leave me with the narrower leftovers all you want.
