House of the Day: 78 3rd Place
When did average-sized houses in Carroll Gardens start being worth over $3 million? Whenever it was, we didn’t get the memo. Last month, it was 44 1st Place, a generally attractive but inconsistent four-story house asking $3,842,500. (One reader wrote us a particularly nasty email about our stance on that post.) Now it’s 78 3rd…
When did average-sized houses in Carroll Gardens start being worth over $3 million? Whenever it was, we didn’t get the memo. Last month, it was 44 1st Place, a generally attractive but inconsistent four-story house asking $3,842,500. (One reader wrote us a particularly nasty email about our stance on that post.) Now it’s 78 3rd Place, a 3,100-square-foot, three-story brick that, while 23-feet-wide and full of charm, doesn’t feel like it’s worth quite $3,495,000. Are we just out of touch with the Carroll Gardens market or sellers overreaching?

“That and most people who live in Brooklyn Heights are too busy working till around 11pm tonight to be reading Brownstoner.”
Working on what exactly? It’s an old and old money neighborhood. The people there have class and money, not jobs. They don’t post on message boards because the internets haven’t been invented yet in Brooklyn Heights.
5:38–definitely interested. Will they be listed with a broker or FSBO?
“Anyone with half a brain would never write “anybody with half a brain” because it is trite and makes you sound like twit, which is exactly what I would expect from a Sloper.”
I live in Carroll Gardens.
“There are areas and houses in Park Slope that are expensive and their are areas and buildings in Park Slope that are dumps.”
Exactly–and whenever they come up as HOTD, they get ripped to shreds as well, despite being in Park Slope. That’s the point. Park Slope dumps DON’T SELL at inflated prices just because they’re in Park Slope.
Anyone with half a brain would never write “anybody with half a brain” because it is trite and makes you sound like twit, which is exactly what I would expect from a Sloper.
“Why is it that you never, or very rarely, hear people from Brooklyn Heights on this blog comparing everything to Brooklyn Heights.”
Because had you paid attention to the demographic of people who read this blog, there are very few from Brooklyn Heights and very many from Park Slope.
That and most people who live in Brooklyn Heights are too busy working till around 11pm tonight to be reading Brownstoner.
Funny thing is, if you look at the picture in Property Shark, this property looks like a dumpy, lopsided miniature brick house compared to the brownstones that flank it. Looks like maybe a $1.8-2 million house, TOPS, and only because it’s 23 ft wide.
If anyone is interested, an older gentleman who owned 3 brownstones on Berkeley Place just recently passed on.
I know the family will be looking to sell.
They need a lot of work.
This listing is obviously bogus.
