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?

that was convincing
Place is a score a real bargain . For this area in brooklyn you are getting a steal even if the home needs 500k of work. If you are looking i would scoop this up now
To 3:58 we know who you are. Obnoxious jealous completely stupid. There has to be work for you there just has to be. Give it up.
Enough with the Italian sneers, the residents are Irish and have some of the outward signs of certain negative Irish stereotypes.
Its a mess, and the price is not remotely low enough to pay off the obvious structural damage that the building has experienced through years of leaks from the roof. Water does still flow downhill.
Don’t worry about the noise of the F train, the rats in the subway though, now that is worth some brainwaves.
anyone found out is there a rent control tenant or not?
2:34, don’t you have anything better to do?
6:02, not true. I’ve found that local brokers overprice as much as Corcoran. It’s all relative. Many brokers also price low to spark bidding wars. Plus, we don’t know yet what the real deal is with this house.
If they get multiple bids, the place will go for way over asking. Don’t assume that it is underpriced.
The average life expectancy of a rent control tenant is approximately 106 years, according to a recent study in Annals of Internal Medicine.
