House of the Day: 40 2nd Place
Optimism 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…

Optimism 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.
40 2nd Place [Corcoran] GMAP P*Shark
Since when is Carroll Gardens the second most expensive neighborhood in Brooklyn? I didn’t get THAT memo.
I heard the old woman who lives in a shoe put in over asking.
By week’s end Corcoran will have had three new and INCREDIBLY overpriced listings in Carroll Gardens. Smacks of a total concerted cartel effort.
Great! Hope Park Slope continues to be “soft” so I can finally buy a brownstone there.
Another thread about an overpriced house listed by Corcoran….YAWN!
Something interesting to note in the city’s sales data is that in 2005 and 2006, while Brooklyn Heights was ably represented at the top of the charts, it was by no means alone – Park Slope was right up there, along with other nabes including even Prospect Heights etc. But in 2007 Brooklyn Heights was the undisputed price leader. And Park Slope was soft. This bears out the recent Corcoran report.
Sorry Park Slope playaz, but in this case I’m a playa hater.
Do the Keebler elves live in this house?
I saw Mr. Pink.
I just saw Abe Vigoda, seriously.
