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.

There are plenty of mixed couples in the area of Carroll Gardens and Cobble Hill.
4:01 – because this is a real estate board. Not a lot of discussions about the art/furniture markets.
Ronman, are you an idiot?
I have a friend in the fine arts business who said that a million was the new ten grand.
No one complains when a (mediocre) baseball player makes the amount of this house throwing a ball in a few games.
Carroll Gardesn is the safest of the safe, as long as you are of the Caucasian persuasion.
Guest 3:58 i agree with you, the people on this board keep complaining about prices, but nobody is complaining about a stupid Painting by Picasso going for $200 million are they?
You are right Brooklyn Heights is probably not as safe as Cobble Hill Carroll Gardens. But overall the 3 of them are Very safe. My bad.
Money isn’t what it used to be.
Take a look at salaries for
attornies or financial managers.
Sotheby’s has a little tea table
for auction expected to fetch seven million dollars.
7 mil for a tea table.
You are telling me that a nice house in Carrol Gardens is not worth half a tea table?
I love that someone says this block has zero crime.
No such thing….
And makes all your other arguements even more absurd.
