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. I just did a search of all townhomes in Park Slope, and there are about 6-7 listings, a couple of which look like commercial properties and not even townhomes and the other few are definitely not brownstones.

    Certainly not on any street I know of. Jackson Place?

    Sounds like some are so eager to trash Park Slope that they’ll even make up lies assuming people won’t actually do a little hunting for themselves.

    So I stand by my assertion that there are very few listings for brownstones in Park Slope. The lowest inventory I’ve seen in years.

  2. I know the Berkeley Place homes well. I live on the block.

    I’m going to be putting an offer on one of them (less than 2 million) and I understand the other 2 already have multiple offers.

    And the wife wants to keep it with someone on the block, anyway. She knows me.

    So chill.

  3. 7:29–there are plenty of Park Slope listings that were HOTD and are still on the market. You’re talking about 2 prime properties in pristine, renovated condition that were rare. There are many homes still on the market in Park Slope. I know because I am tracking them like a hawk. Do a search on NY TIMES and you’ll see them all.

    Look carefully at those Berk Place houses you mention–one is an SRO w/ 10 units, and another is 6-family. Um, and why would you even post that info here when it will just drum up competition for you? I would have kept it to myself.
