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.

Middle class in New York City is upper class in the rest of America.
Not that I could ever afford this building, but I would love to live on one of those Place blocks.

Love that Nelson lamp.
I love walking up and down these Place streets during the holiday seasons. The decorations are awesome.
Any word on how sale of the $8,375,000 on Warren Street’s (a previously overpriced HOTD) going?
Actually, I am quite wealthy and I like to keep my assistants and renters in a shed in the back of the house. And I like my tea at noon.
Haiku to an overreaching listing:
It is very expensive
New granite counters
Will languish for many months
5:04 are you a developer who is hoping to buy this property and turn it into coops, but the price is still too high to make it work for you? Actually the one who is really annoying is you. Go away.
