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.

while a 16-17 footer is comparable to a standard 20 if you knock down walls and open up the rooms, i agree it’s a stretch to say this is true for a 13-footer. but it’s still a lot of space with a nice yard in a good neighborhood.
narrow is a fun project but very very difficult to deal with in reality. too overpriced.
I see at least 5 interior shots, and says that is 4 bedroom 3 bath so don’t think is that scant in details. No real kitchen shot – so probably not some new granite/stainlessSteel
cliche.
But considering sq ft(even if narrow) and location/elem. school and the detail pics show – doubt will sell for less than $2M.
That’a a pretty narrow house.
Whoever buys this needs to get that stomach-stapling surgery to make sure that they don’t gain any weight because you can’t let out the party walls.
Hey, Anon 1:45, I wish you luck selling the place–I really do–but you’re stoned if you think a 13.5-foot feels like a 20. Places like this can be cute, but they present huge design challenges. My advice: think really small furniture. And don’t get fat.
Talking about Size Matters. I recall a 16 footer on Union btw Smith and Hoyt that went for $1.9M last summer and it was set up as a duplex and 2 rentals and needed some work. It was a bidding war at the $1.795M list.
I concure with the poster above.
The hood is good.
It looks clean with some detail.
Not a major reno.
This one looks pretty solid at $2.0M – $2.2M .
Have you ever been in a narrow house?
totally overpriced, 13.5 ft wide? gimme a break!
18ft is manageable. 20ft is nice. 13.5ft wide!?!?
“don’t be fooled by the narrow houses they feel as large as the 20footers”
and if you believe that, you’ll believe anything. Just roll up your money and burn it.
