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?

I think the small brokers like Manzione underprice things. We found our house nearby with a small broker and I think Corcoran would have charged more.
accommodated in a rear extension — that’s hot
“How do they get 3040SF in a 19×35 building?”
Probably from a one or two-story extension off the back of the building.
19×35 = 665 square feet
x 4 floors (from photo) = 2,660 square feet
That’s less than 400 square feet off the 3,40 published. This could easily be accommodated in a rear extension.
if you spent that much on plumbing and electric you got RIPPED off.
unless you got the gold plated wires.
thanks, are those numbers based on personal experience? how long did it take to do each?
$100,000 plumbing
$100,000 electric
i own this city
Does anyone know how much new plumbing for a building of this size would be? roughly?
Thanks
i thought that was the sound of your landlord asking you for rent.
