40-Second-Place-Brooklyn-0108.jpgOptimism knows no bounds in Carroll Gardens. Already in this young year we’ve chronicled two listings that have come out of the box at over $3 million. (One of them, 78 3rd Place appears to have been yanked reduced to $2,950,000 in the wake of 250+ comments mocking the ridiculousness of asking $3,495,000 for the 3,100-square-foot pad.) Today’s house of the day at 40 2nd Place is slightly less ambitious at $2,800,000. Still, at less than 16 feet wide and sporting a renovation that feels too “new” looking in that suburban kind of way, we’re not holding our breath about this one getting anywhere close to ask either. For what it’s worth, the 2,300-square-foot house last sold in 2004 for $1,700,000.

  1. 7:56…

    ONE house in all of Park Slope for sale!!!???

    Say it isn’t so!!!!!!!!!

    10 years ago, you could go to a broker website and find 25 brownstones for sale at any given time in any given neighborhood.

    So yeah…I can see how one would be scary and certainly the sign that the end of the world is near.

  2. I find it slightly ironic that there are so many width snobs on this site. Get real – the dimensions of the rooms in the house are ideal, much bettter than some of the 24 x 14 (or 13) foot parlor floor rooms in much wider houses. And, how can you pretend to know anything about Brownstones and not know that the top floor rooms were often divded like that. I agree it could use more bathrooms, but the carrying on here is ridiculous. You people don’t set the market for townhouses, real buyers do. So let’s wait and see how very wrong most of you are. This house is turnkey and is defnitely going to sell near asking price. Let’s all agree to meet online again and see who is really deluded. By the way, I alrea (Including the reviled borough of Manhattan.) How many of you know-it-alls can say the same.

    And can we lose the obscenities. What is this, Brownstoner Junior High?
