House of the Day: 44 1st Place
The four-story house at 44 1st Place may indeed be one of the “Grand Dames” of Carroll Gardens, as the listing claims, but is it the house to break the $1,000 a foot barrier in Carroll Gardens it’s looking like a big stretch to us. It’s hard not to get excited by the parlor floor…
The four-story house at 44 1st Place may indeed be one of the “Grand Dames” of Carroll Gardens, as the listing claims, but is it the house to break the $1,000 a foot barrier in Carroll Gardens it’s looking like a big stretch to us. It’s hard not to get excited by the parlor floor detail but some of the other finishes (the ground-floor kitchen, for example) leave us a little limp. Seems that to get anywhere close to the asking price of $3,842,500 this place would have to be absolute perfection throughout, which it’s clearly not. More power them if they can get this price but we think they’re off by a good million bucks.

You’re in the wrong place. look at the suburbs.
As inevitable as somebody complaining about the Slope and Slopers.
I was wondering how long it was going to take some sloper to say “for that price, why wouldn’t you buy X in the slope?” It is as inevitable as night following day.
Uh, I’m middle class.
There is no such thing as middle class in New York City. there is hand to mouth and there is rich that’s about it. Oh. and there’s my parents are rich.
Speaking of places that don’t need, want or CAN’T sell, the 3rd street house was Brownstoner’s house of the day like 4 months ago. I guess people just aren’t biting on that little doll house.
The Prudential listing is a little to fussy for my taste and it is also $950 per sq. ft..
The brokers and sellers are just fucking around with this listing price. They don’t really need/want to sell it. That’s why they set such a ridiculous price. Aside from that, the house is UGLY. For that money, you’re better off with the other Prudential listing in Park Slope, on 3rd Street & Prospect Park.
“Middle class in New York City is upper class in the rest of America.”
No, it just cost like upper class to live like middle class.
