House of the Day: 6 Third Street
Even if this house at 6 Third Street in Carroll Gardens is in as bad shape as we suspect it is, it’s still looking pretty darn cheap to us at the asking price of $975,000.

Even if this house at 6 Third Street in Carroll Gardens is in as bad shape as we suspect it is, it’s still looking pretty darn cheap to us at the asking price of $975,000. It’s currently configured as a two-family, double-duplex house. The listing says it has tin ceilings, marble mantels and pocket doors, so it sounds to us like someone could buy this place for asking, sink another $500,000 into it and end up with a great, finished house for under $1.5 million. It almost sounds too good to be true. Is there a catch we’re missing?

Just got a message from Mary at Manzione that this house is about to go into contract. Never even had a chance to see it.
While, looked at this listing on Manzione’s site, noticed another listing for a RedHook property listed at a ludicris 850K
Pictures indicatedthe Red Hook Property would benefit from an almost total gut (the Dining Room especially is hideous).
Judging from this listing, this Carroll Gardens house seems a bargin, if you consider both properties would benefit from a minimum rennovation budget of 200K
“Enough with the Italian sneers, the residents are Irish and have some of the outward signs of certain negative Irish stereotypes.”
Elucidate please!

I spoke to the broker too, and they confirmed that it will be delivered vacant. However, they are currently not showing the house, since they said there were some “personal problems” but they could not divulge anything more. You have to get on a list to be called when they are ready to show the house. It does seem, by the way, that subway noise would be a factor in this location.
I live on 3rd street, and I’ve seen an old lady who is well over 60 living at the home. It also looks like her daughter and granddaughter live with Gramdma = house not so goldmine after all
According to the realtor the property will be delivered vacant. Unless it’s fit to be condemned, it sounds a very good price.
To 8:54, you know who I am? Oh no, what am I going to do? I will just have to start over. I’ll be good. No more lying and cheating. Swear, from now on I’ll be a good agent. And I’ll move out of Minskywood to someplace where nobody knows me, like you do. You know me so well. Jeeze you know me well. How do you do it? Know me like you do. But what kind of work will I do?
say what? I’m tryin’ to sleep here.
someday this snore is gonna end…
