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.

5:03, I’m 3:55…You’re right. It occurred to me after I made my post that it could also be the smaller, three-story house on President that did undergo that nearly 2-year long renovation. If that’s it, that house was purchased about 2 years ago by the guy who renovated it for 1.15 million. 304 President is not on the Douglas Elliman website, even though the DE placard is in the front yard.
Anyone following the market in Brooklyn and its different neighborhoods can see that the asking price for this house is extremely high and unrealistic.

must be white talk.
“spreading bad information like that is not what this blog should be about.”
Um, have you been reading this blog for say, the last two YEARS??
To the morons who started bring up tea tables or paintings, shut up already. One has nothing to do with the other. We’re talking houses, and based on comps this house is OVERPRICED. Anyone defending this price obviously has a vested interest in the property. Duh.
Why does 2.8 seem out of whack for a lovely brownstone in an excellent location?
We see houses on this board for 1.5 and over with old rental tenants that no one will be able to dislodge. We also see houses that have been broken up into small units that would take a lot of time, effort and money to bring back to single family condition. This is good to go. Just move in. It looks like it doesn’t even need a paint job. The rear yard looks very nice and I like that angled wall in the front reception room that connects it spatially with the central hall. Nice. What’s everybody in a tizz about?
3:55 PM – the one with the sign is 304 but I can’t find it on the Elliman site. I think one next door or two doors down sold around the same time as 304. Or it could be one of the little houses which recently underwent a looonnnngggg renovation. I guess we will find out whether prices have spiked almost 2 million dollars in two years.
4:11 you are right – people watch what is going down. You might not know them but they know you. It’s a good thing and they will watch for your kids.
I like smoking dope.
Does that count for anything?
Ha! I’m glad food can’t be tossed over the web.
“you’re a dope, no you’re the dope, yeah, well you’re the dope of dopes”
Now boys and girls….
